Interviews with the Counsellors

Interview with Liana:

1. The kids are really nice – I have laughed a lot this weekend.
2. I got the opportunity to live in Argentina for 6 months and I took it. I wanted to do something different, learn Spanish, and travel.
3. I like the way they speak Spanish. I think they are friendly and value family life. I don’t like costilas and driving throught Buenos Aires in the back of a taxi. They are crazy drivers!!

Interview with Kristian:

1. It has been very interesting to see how well the two institutes have interacted. Also, I have been very impressed by everyones’ level of English and the amount of effort they have put into the work they have been asked to do.
2. I chose to come to Argentina because it is an amazing, beautiful country with very diverse landscapes and people.
3. I like the country and the friends I’ve made here, but dislike that I can’t get any spicy food.

Interview with Kevin:

1. I found it most interesting how the two different groups of students bonded by the music played at night. It was nice to see music bring peace and unity to teenagers in the beautiful setting that is La Nancy.
2. It has been my dream to travel and live in Argentina for six years. The country has a very rich culture. The people, music, landscapes, gastronomy and language are just how I imagined it; and I love it!
3. I found it odd how all the garbage cans on the streets have holes in them; the trash just falls straight through!

Interview with Laura:

1. I find lots interesting in this camp. I think that this is a really great group of people and everyone has a really good command of the English language. I have met some cool, funny people and have enjoyed the camp a lot.
2. I chose Argentina because I grew tired of Ireland and I wanted a change and to get away for awhile. I have always wanted to travel to South America and experience a new culture and learn Spanish and work in a teaching job, and to see if I liked teaching, and of course for the weather.
3. I like the food, it’s a lot better than Ireland. The people are lovely, very welcoming and very nice and friendly. I am loving this experience and my host family are wonderful and because they speak no English, I have had a great opportunity to learn Spanish. I sometimes dislike my location in Argentina because my life in Ireland is related to the sea and I miss the fact I am not close to the ocean here in Argentina but otherwise it’s been fantastic.

Interview with Joanna:

1. Everyone speaks incredible English, so fun loving, energetic, and enthusiastic. It’s amazing!
2. I always wanted to visit Argentina, and I came here for a two week holiday, fell in love with Argentina, th epeople, th eplace, the culture and I want to stay for two years.
3. There is not enough room to put how much I love this country. It’s aaamazing!!! Although, I do miss vegemite.
