Internship in Mexico: Inspiration and experience!
Internship in Mexico is an exciting opportunity to spend a few thrilling months in a country of vivid colors and tangy aromas — from bustling megacities and ultra-modern resorts to small mountain villages. It’s in North America, but with a distinctly southern flair. Salaries here aren’t North American-level, but there are clear advantages — around $123 is often enough to live on for a month in Mexico, people are open and hospitable, and the climate is subtropical. Most internships are in tourism and hospitality (for example, in hotels or restaurants). However, there are also opportunities to intern as an English teacher or to volunteer as a teaching assistant for English or other languages (in schools, kindergartens, language centers, universities, etc.).
