"I've had the opportunity to travel to the United States for three consecutive years with the Work & Travel Atenea program, and it has been one of the best experiences of my life. I learned a lot about another culture, practiced my English, and made new friends with whom I shared great moments. I highly recommend this program 100%!"

"One of my biggest dreams came true when I joined the Work & Travel program! I had the opportunity to travel to the United States for two years—first to Minnesota and recently to Pennsylvania. In both places, I experienced unforgettable moments. Thanks to this program, I have become more responsible and independent, improved my English by interacting with Americans, and met amazing people from different countries while exploring beautiful landscapes. I am incredibly grateful to my mom for always motivating and supporting me, and to Atenea for the guidance, informational sessions, and constant communication before and during the program."

"It’s true that when you travel to such a big country for the first time and alone, you feel lost. However, the people you meet and the lifestyle they have eventually become a part of you. I’ve traveled to places that many people dream of visiting and met people who are now part of my daily life. Work and Travel is, without a doubt, the best experience of my life."

"Atenea's Work and Travel program is like a bridge between our culture and the American culture. It allowed me to meet people from different nationalities. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Latinos, Asians, African Americans, and many others. It was a truly enriching experience. Additionally, the program helped me become more independent and learn how to save money. Over time, I also noticed an improvement in my English skills—I was able to have fluent conversations with others and even join in on their jokes!"

"My experience in the Work and Travel program was amazing. From start to finish, it exceeded my expectations. It allowed me to live a completely different reality, where I was fully responsible for myself in another country, meeting new people, experiencing a new culture, taking on new challenges, and, of course, having a great time. Working at TD Garden is fun—the coworkers are great, and you can feel the excitement of working in a stadium. The city's landscapes are charming, and everything is very peaceful. I have no regrets about this choice, and I’m sure I’ll be back. Work and Travel is an opportunity you shouldn’t miss!"

“Es la segunda vez que viajo a Estados Unidos y para mí es una experiencia inolvidable. Conoces mucha gente de diferentes países y eso es lo más chévere, es mucho el intercambio de culturas. Me gustaría volver a ir por tercera vez de WT. Yo aconsejo a los que van por primera vez ir a una montaña ya que es hermoso, me encantan los deportes como Ski y Snowboard, es una experiencia que jamás olvidarán”

"My experience in Alaska was amazing… I highly recommend doing a Work & Travel program because it gives you a different feeling and, most importantly, a new perspective on life that makes you see things differently. You learn to mature, appreciate money, and, above all, miss your family."
