January 2023 is right around the corner! New Year’s resolutions are an age-old tradition for self-improvement that can be a great way to better our health, learn a new skill, quit bad habits or pick up healthy habits. Beginning the New Year with a goal keeps us focused and energized as we enter a fresh year filled with new opportunities.
Have you committed to a New Year’s resolution yet? Are you still struggling to decide on an achievable resolution? Some of the top resolutions people set are to travel, learn a new skill, get involved with a charity, and develop their career goals. However, most people give up their resolutions by February because they lose motivation or get too busy to follow through. Lucky for you, Maximo Nivel is here to help you stay motivated and find a meaningful goal for 2023!
Traveling abroad is an excellent opportunity for personal development and growth. Maximo Nivel has programs you’ll love that will make your travels meaningful and 2023 resolutions achievable! We offer many programs for self-improvement through immersive travel. By being immersed in a foreign country you can study a second language, learn about a new culture, eat different foods, meet new people, and make life-long connections. While international travel can be intimidating, Maximo Nivel makes it easy by offering you organized programs to join and friendly staff members to guide you through the process. We are here for you 24/7!
Here are 3 reasons (and resolution suggestions) for why you should make traveling abroad a top priority in 2023:
Learn a New Language – Confidently writing “bilingual” (or even “multilingual”) on your resume gives you an advantage to the competition that employers look for. Plus, being able to communicate with locals is fun and rewarding! Studying Spanish in Costa Rica, Guatemala, or Peru with Maximo Nivel provides you with a hands-on, authentic experience to practice and develop your Spanish language skills in Spanish-speaking communities. Maximo Nivel’s Spanish Immersion Programs offer several options for learning from Intensive Spanish Courses to Tandem Conversation practice. Whether you have never spoken a word of Spanish or need to freshen your skills, Maximo Nivel has the Spanish course for you!
Volunteer – What better way to get involved with charitable activities than working directly with deserving communities and organizations! At Maximo Nivel we have plenty of volunteer opportunities to suit anyone’s interests. From working with animals and nature to children and indigenous communities to healthcare and ecosystem conservation, we have a volunteer program that is sure to satisfy your charitable giving goals. With our professional field managers, 24/7 in-country support, and all-inclusive accommodations, all you have to focus on is the project at hand and giving back! We even have Holiday Programs to participate in for the season of giving.
Career Development – The start of a new year is the perfect time to develop your professional goals. The turn of a fresh calendar means 365 days of opportunities to learn, grow, and develop! Maximo Nivel’s International Internships give you practical work experience while helping you gain a global perspective. Having developed cross-cultural communication and experience with people from diverse backgrounds shows employers you know how to take initiative and are open to new challenges. Our programs offer internships in many fields like healthcare, education, human rights, business, hospitality and tourism, veterinarian science, and even specialized placements to find the perfect fit for you!
Still looking for further career development? Maybe you’d like a new certification to enhance your resume! A certification in Teaching English as a Second Language, or simply a TEFL certification, is an excellent qualification that shows employers you have the communication and organizational skills to tackle any challenge. Maximo Nivel’s onsite, hybrid, and online TEFL courses are a fun and hands-on experience that will give you new skills in teaching, communication, lesson planning, classroom management, and more! If after your 4-week course, you love working and living abroad, your TEFL certification can take you around the world to continue your career abroad.
The new year is fast approaching! Make your 2023 resolutions realistic and meaningful by learning a new language, volunteering with a deserving community, or developing your career with Maximo Nivel. Instead of making a list of New Year’s resolutions and forgetting about them by February, commit to one of our diverse programs! Join us for an academic course or project in Costa Rica, Guatemala, or Peru and achieve your 2023 resolution to travel abroad!
