By Ryan Jones InterExchange.com InterExchange provides participants an opportunity to gain internship experience, work experience, and maybe even make a little bit of money while discovering another culture abroad. Internships are offered in countries such as France (with a stipend!), Belgium, Great Britain, and Costa Rica. A great feature of their “Work and Travel Program” in Australia is the guarantee that participants will land a job within 5 days of arrival, helping ease your stress about your overseas job hunt. Another option is their “Teach English in Spain” program, where you can be a part of the Spanish culture by exchanging 15 hours a week of informal English lessons (no credential necessary) for a generous 2-3 months of room and board. Through InterExchange you can gain valuable work skills, a unique resume boost, and a priceless experience abroad.
