Review
Before committing to the program, I told Road2Argentina that I wanted an unconventional internship placement - in a holistic health setting. I knew this would be challenging to find in Argentina but they have amazing connections to all kinds of professionals in Buenos Aires. They found something for me after a few weeks. Pre-Arrival information was organized and exhaustive so that each participant can feel secure before going abroad. They pick you up at the airport and ensure that you have an orientation set up upon arrival.
Housing with Road2Argentina is in great locations. I chose the shared apartment option and lived with a couple other foreigners and one Argentine young woman, who showed me the ropes of Buenos Aires life and introduced me to her social scene. They make an effort to introduce you to both locals and other travelers. All of their housing locations are in central places close to subway stations and other city attractions, which is a huge asset in such a big city.
Road2Argentina was accommodating in meeting my needs in my internship. After a few months, I decided I was unsatisfied in my job and they immediately searched their professional and personal connections to find me a second job that was more fulfilling. When you express your interests to the team, they follow through in making sure that they are met. Personal emails and check-ups from the team are not uncommon, which is nice as a traveler in a foreign country who is still trying to find her/his way.
The program also offers weekly activities that help you meet the other participants in the program and get to know cultural events happening in Buenos Aires. In this way, participants are offered free access to amazing events that they otherwise would not have even known about. On top of these weekly outings, there is "Mate and Medialunas" every Friday where you can meet other participants, practice Spanish, and enjoy delicious traditional Argentine fare.
Lastly, there are travel opportunities with Road2Argentina. They offer participants tours to different cities in Argentina to travel with other foreigners and knowledgeable, friendly guides. I traveled to Mendoza and had the chance to do wine tastings, rafting, and hiking, all within a reasonably priced travel package plan.
Overall, Road2Argentina really lets you have the experience that you are looking for in Argentina. You can easily be as involved or independent as you want in their programming - if you come to none or every event they offer, either way you can have an amazing time in one of the greatest cities in the world.
