Teaching Volunteer Stories, Mexico

Teaching in Mexico - Stacy Edwards 'If Projects Abroad said to me 'Describe your time in Mexico in four words.they would be 'Time of my LIFE!' I have so many fantastic memories and I could tell people about them all day, everyday. From 'La Mutualista' where the volunteers met for salsa, to 'Libelula' for the free cookies (!!) and my time travelling around other parts of Mexico, all of it was absolutely amazing.

Teaching in Mexico - Andrea Martins On New Year's Eve 2001, I decided that I was going to take a trip of a lifetime, leaving my job and family behind. I was a restless professional, working in London in a dull office job and felt that I wanted to take a break from my job and do something worthwhile at the same time.

My Teaching placement in Mexico - Robert Johnson Beginning on the 1st of March I entered uncharted waters arriving at Guadalajara airport. Unsure of what to expect I relished the unknown and wondered what challenges the three months would throw at me.

Teaching in Mexico - Tessa Adamsons "Three months is a long time". I can still recall myself repeating those words constantly in my head on the plane on my way to Mexico. With my time here almost finished, I now realised that three months just wasn't enough. Being half French, half English but living in Belgium I'm very familiar with the European way of life. I therefore expected to have an immense "culture shock" when I arrived in Guadalajara.It never came. Instead I was embraced by Mexico's warm and friendly way of life.
