As a 23-year-old from Alaska, living abroad was at the top of my ‘must-do in my twenties’ list. I wanted to make an impact, learn a new language, and challenge myself.

One day, while scrolling Instagram in Idaho after quitting my first job, I saw a reel from RVF about teaching English in Spain. It stopped me in my tracks. Within a week, my friend, my boyfriend, and I applied through RVF, and it has been the best decision I could have made.

From the beginning, the team made the process simple and stress-free. Meeting Harrison, RVF’s founder, showed me how passionate they are about helping people move abroad safely. They have guided us through every step with quick replies, video calls, and detailed instructions.

Their constant check-ins and helpful resources have made the process exciting instead of overwhelming. And now that I am here, it already feels magical. My students run up to greet me every morning with huge smiles. I have seen shy kids open up, and I have watched confidence bloom in students who once struggled.

It is such a rewarding feeling to know I am making a difference after just two weeks. If teaching abroad has been tugging at your heart, take this as your sign. RVF made this entire experience possible, and I cannot wait to see where the rest of this adventure takes me.
