ABROADER changed my life

I flew into Vietnam on my birthday, and from the moment I saw my local buddy holding a little birthday cake for me when she picked me up from the airport I knew this was going to be an amazing 8 weeks. The summer of 2023 interns arrived in 3 separate groups and my individual group has become some of my favorite people. My host organization has been incredibly welcoming and while I help them with English they get to help me learn some Vietnamese. I was scared coming to a country where I could not speak to anyone but a large majority understand English or I find other ways to communicate (ie. google translate).
