It is difficult to choose just one experience that outranks the program as a whole. Being submerged in a different culture and environment can be a very intimidating experience, but this program allowed me to feel at ease while exploring my interests in indigenous cultures and tropical wildlife. I particularly enjoyed any experience the program as a whole spent traversing the outdoors which included hiking volcanoes, bird watching, swimming in hot springs and ocean, and much more.

I learned to let go of time constraints! The trip was so much easier and so much more enjoyable when I just arrived places when people told me to and didn't worry about anything except what was right in front of me.

The diversity of life that we get to see. There are so many different areas of Costa Rica and it was absolutely wonderful to see a lot of them. The diversity of plant and animal life was fasinating as well when we traveled to all the different areas. The food and fruit was always fabulous.
