Description
Hi! I’m Tal, I’m 21 and a junior at Indiana University studying Media. I’m about to start an intensive Spanish program and then spend a semester abroad in Buenos Aires, and I’m really excited to volunteer before my program begins!
I’m happiest when I feel connected — to people, to place, and to what I’m doing. I love being in new environments, meeting people from different backgrounds, and feeling like I’m part of something meaningful rather than just passing through. I enjoy learning by doing and being genuinely involved in daily life.
I’ve worked as a social media coordinator and production assistant, so I’m comfortable managing social media, creating content, and helping tell stories online. I also play guitar and love having music be part of everyday life. I really value hands-on work, shared meals, good conversations, and working toward a common goal. Those are the kinds of experiences that stay with me the longest!

Yes — definitely. I’m really interested in both teaching and learning languages.

I studied Spanish for four years in high school, but I’ve forgotten a lot over time, so I’m hoping to refresh it and become more confident through everyday use and immersion. I really enjoy language exchange and think it’s one of the best ways to connect with people and culture.
