Mexico is a country of striking contrasts, shaped by a rich mix of ancient traditions, colonial history, and contemporary life. Its geography ranges from snow-capped volcanoes and deep interior canyons to arid northern deserts and dense southern jungles. Along its Pacific and Caribbean coasts, you’ll find a variety of landscapes—from quiet beaches to busy port cities and small coastal communities.

Spanish is the language spoken in Mexico. This is an excellent destination for those looking to improve their Spanish skills. World Explorers offers a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience and to boost your resume teaching English in Mexico.

CHI works with a trusted partner in Mexico City to find the best host families for our World Explorers. Mexico City is the bustling capital with over 9 million inhabitants. There are endless ways to spend your time in this city. Host families may live in other areas as well. We ask that our participants are flexible with the exact location.

Some of the overseas partner agencies we work with place restrictions on age. We recommend this destination for travelers ages 20-30 . Some older candidates may be considered, but we cannot guarantee it.

Travel options from 30 to 90 days

Program Costs

CHI is a non-profit organization, but we still have fixed costs that are necessary for running the program. Our overseas partners are actually for-profit, and we must take that into consideration as well. Our partners do the work to find and screen excellent host families that match your interests and needs!
