Uruguay Teen Program: 8/3/2009 - 8/21/2009 Everything was perfect. They were very personalized and excellent teachers overall. There was a wide selection of activities and the school threw several parties for birthdays and when students left and arrived.

Costa Rica Teen Program: 6/15/2009 - 7/3/2009 My host family was very accommodating and wonderful. They were very open to the fact that I was from a different country and was not used to some of the things that they did. I was really happy to have done the trip. I would like to travel again somewhere next year and I would definitely go through AmeriSpan again. I think it is a good organization.

Axelle F., Student
Spain Teen Program: 7/2/2007 - 7/27/2007 There is a very good balance between classes and free time, The activities coordinators also seem to find activities that they now the current students would like to do. They also incorporate history or culture into whatever they do even if it is just a trip to the beach. The program was incredibly fun. I mean I have gone twice to the same city just because I had so much fun. I learned everything from the subjunctive to Spanish slang. I also learned how life was like in Sevilla and the culture both at night and during the day. The staff was incredible, whenever I had and issue I could talk to someone about it. They also handled everything very well, and with discretion.

Spain Teen Program: 6/25/2007 - 7/20/2007 This program was one of the best experiences that I have ever had in my live. I learned more on this trip, about the country, language, and even myself than ever before. I also learned many valuable language skills, and not to fear making a mistake, that is part of learning anything. The best part of this trip was getting the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world whom I am still in contact with today. The staff was VERY easy to approach and accommodating during my program.

Spain Teen Program: 6/26/2006 - 7/7/2006 It was AMAZING. I enjoyed every single minute of it. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Our host mom was so kind and patient with us, and her 25-year-old daughter was so sweet as well! The best part was everything!! Especially meeting new people. I recommend these trips for everyone - you'll enjoy yourself and have the time of your life.

Lauren learned a huge amount of Spanish, made lots of friends, and grew up a great deal by virtue of being away from home and ""on her own"" for four weeks. Lauren's quote: I had an amazing time in Marbella. The dormitory was so much fun. I loved getting to know people from all over the world. Everyone was so friendly, we got really close and I am still in contact with some of them."
