From the start I knew that this program would be an amazing opportunity for me to explore a new culture and country. The journey began when we landed in the beautiful city of San Jose and took busses to our host families. Once we where dropped off, our host families took us into their home and acquainted us with everything we would need. My host families made me feel at home and safe with them, I could have stayed another couple weeks! I have learned so much about the businesses here in Costa Rica and how they began. It is incredibly informative to hear how these businesses have worked through the pandemic and how they run day to day.
After 6 days of being completely immersed in the Costa Rican culture, I can say that two weeks is just not enough!
