Founded in 2001, GeoVisions' Co-Founders bring years experience in international education and exchange.
We’re young enough to know what’s needed in the twenty-first century, and old enough to have learned what’s not needed.
We’re small enough to pay close attention to our students and our employers, and large enough to give you the support and resources you need to be assured of a rewarding international experience.
GeoVisions carefully screens partners around the globe to help prepare students for living in their host country. We know the importance of international education and exchange, and we understand the value these experiences bring to your life. GeoVisions will work with you to help you meet your personal goals.

Live with a family and teach them English up to 15 hours each week. Room & Board is included! At 15 hours a week, you will have plenty of time to explore the country, experience the cuisine. You will also find out first-hand what it is like for a family to live day-to-day in your new host country.
Volunteer to be a Conversation Partner and you will be speaking conversational English to the local police department, hotel staff, local business professionals, teachers. You do not need to be a teacher or to have teaching experience to be a Conversation Partner. You just need to meet with the group each day (up to 15 hours each week) and converse in English with them. It's fun and rewarding.

I'll always be grateful for my international experience in Italy. I was placed with a couple who share my adventurous spirit so we often did many outdoor activities including trekking in the Dolomites, biking through downtown Brescia and it's surroundings, and the highlight, placing third in a regata! Watching them both improve their English skills was also exceptional. If I had the opporrunity to do it again, I wouldn't hesitate!
I’m currently in Australia as an Au Pair through geovisions at the moment, and I’m loving every single minute. The family I was placed with is so amazing and the kids are the best. The location is beautiful and I have weekends off to travel! Using gwovisions was the best experience from start to finish. They are always there to answer any questions and are the nicest people. Definitely recommending! ❤️
My experience with Geovisions was incredible. I participated in the Conversation Corps (then called Walk and Talk) in Madrid, Spain and loved every minute. My host family was warm and welcoming from the minute I arrived and truly made me feel like a part of their family. My three month experience was so life changing that I actually chose Spain as the destination for my wedding! I am still so close with my host family that my fiancé and I went a few days early to spend time with them and they attended our wedding. The kids I worked with are doing great in school and are fluent in English at this point. Because of Geovisions, I was able to explore a new country and culture and now have life-long relationships that mean the world to me.
When I first inquired about teaching abroad in Italy a few years ago I was contacted within an hour and had a great conversation about the program and what I could expect. I was immediately hooked and applied for the summer camp counselor in Italy. To say that my time in Italy was amazing would be an understatement. There are not enough words to describe how incredible my experience was and I enjoyed it so much that I participated in the program two summers in a row! The geovisions team is so easy to work with and willing to help you out any way they can through the application process as well as once you get accepted into a program.
I have loved working with geovisions the past two summers and highly recommend the programs they offer to anyone and everyone; especially the Camp Counselor in Italy program. :)
Since I inquired in 2015, I got a call from a geovisions employee within the hour. She was there to answer all of my questions and that same week I sent in my formal application to go abroad.
At first, because of the high demand, they were unable to place me with a family in Germany (Where I requested to go) so they offered to refund me my money or to start searching in the surrounding countries. Within a few days they had a placement for me in Austria, near the Czech border.
Geovisions stuck with me every bit of the way. Especially throughout my 3 months in Austria. I felt safe and supported.
I researched a lot of programs (for over a year) before applying to geovisions and this was a no-brainer for me. It was affordable (espcially with payment plans) and it was a small company so it felt very personal to me.
The experience I had in Austria as a solo traveller, is completely irreplaceable.
While travelling can be intimidating or expensive, it's worth it.
I would highly reccomend using Geovisions!!!
