This experience was unique, in the way that I was able to explore and immerse myself in a local veterinary practice, while simultaneously living abroad exploring an entirely new country by myself. You are also able to grow as a person, by taking yourself out of your normal bubble, by traveling to a different place, trying new foods, making new friends you gain an experience that not many are able to have and grow as an individual. I could not recommend this program or opportunity enough, it really changed me and my future.
Response from Adelante Abroad
Hi Anneka, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a Review and we are ever happy that you loved our long-running Intern in Barcelona program! Our housing, in all cities worldwide, is always, default, going to be co-ed. Primarily because our Programs begin the first Monday of every month, so even if for one month a housing may be one gender, by the following month it could easily be co-ed as new participants arrive each month / each new start date. If a candidate wants only one gender that does need to be requested and we do our best to accommodate. When you and your friend, another Adelante candidate, arrived into your apartment and understood it was co-ed, it would have been good to hear from you that you wanted to change housing! Even with an intense housing shortage in Barcelona right now, we could have tried to move you both. Many apologies for the mis- understanding! Good luck in ALL future endeavors, with your new, upgraded resume, solid Spanish speaking skills and life-long Barcelona memories:) Team Adelante
