Lena's experience with Mente Argentina
Lena, 18, from the Netherlands, spent five months in Buenos Aires on the intensive Spanish program and a photography course. Mente arranged her apartment and paired her with a roommate who became a really good friend, and together they joined free lunches, dinners, happy hours and escape rooms. When she arrived without any Spanish, the team helped her with the bank and a SIM card, and she had a really good time.
In Lena's own words

Hi, everybody. My name is Lena. I am 18 years old. I'm from the Netherlands. I have been with Mente Argentina here in Buenos Aires for five months. I did the intensive Spanish program, and I did a photography course. Mente accompanied my apartment. They linked me to my roommate. He was really nice. We are really good friends, and we have done a lot of activities with Mente, free lunches or dinners or happy hours or escape rooms, these things. In the beginning, when I couldn't speak any Spanish, they helped me with the bank and with getting a SIM card. It was really helpful, and I had a really good time.
