  AWESOME is the word, I would like to use to define my experience in GEOS Vancouver, in Vancouver city, and in my internship. I have had one of my best experiences studying English in GEOS Vancouver; I feel I have a new family now and new language to speak with. Cannot express how good job they did to get for my internship and how much my English improved working in a Canadian ambience. The internship has been the next step to the school studies, and something that I would suggest to everybody. I have had chance to get involved in the Canadian culture and learn about it while I met many good friends that I'll keep for ever. Vancouver is one of the most multicultural cities I have ever been, which gave my chance to try dishes from all the countries. Coming from a small country as I do, I was interested in a city in which I could have the chance to be in touch with the nature as well as with the things that all the big cities have. Whales, seals, eagles, amazing rivers, beaches, ski, etc. Who gives more??? THANKS GEOS Vancouver, THANKS CANADA and SEE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.
