Amazing experience! They were always checking in with me and making sure everything went well. The host family that I stayed with always made sure I had food and was comfortable. I loved everything about it

I especially enjoyed how hands-on this experience was. Working daily with the animals helped me to get even more comfortable in the field of animal healthcare, and expand my knowledge through working with a variety of different animals. Nancy and Jaime were wonderful hosts and encouraged me to explore Belize while also being focused on the animals. The meals that we got on weekdays were always very good and filling. Being taken around San Ignacio on the morning of my second day helped me to learn more about the area and feel more comfortable and better adjust. I immediately felt welcomed by the whole family and the other interns, and I could not have asked for a better experience!

I really enjoyed this internship both in the ways that I was able to make an impact on the farm, as well as broaden my experiences in another country. I had a lot of creative freedom in my project and was able to use my skills to make a lot of progress in the setup of their garden. Additionally, I learned a ton about methods of conducting field work that will likely support my future career. I also loved being in a new place and traveling to all of the beautiful sites in Belize. I feel much more confident going into possibly uncomfortable situations and trust my ability to be independent and have a good time without being too anxious or stressed.

I absolutely loved my placement in San Ignacio, Belize. Me and my friend worked on an eco park farm for the veterinary internship, and lived with the family that owns it, the Marins. They were so welcoming and generous with all they had. I felt like a part of the family. They love their animals and have huge hearts for what they do, it’s very obvious! My only complaint is that the Intern Abroad HQ program description was very misleading. A lot of the information about this specific program was either a bit off or very incorrect. I was still extremely happy with my experience, I give the Marin family a 10/10 for everything, but I was expecting something different based on the description of what I signed up for online. Overall amazing experience!
