Talking to Folks: Understanding Culture
March 14, 2026by: Sara Davis - United StatesEveryone I was able to talk to was such a delight, from my project manager Oscar to the lovely desk lady at Maximo. And they all had such love for the region. There’s nothing better than working with folks like that.
Service with a humble heart!
March 08, 2026by: Grace Estes - United StatesI participated in a beach and dog shelter beautification project. These service opportunities were well constructed, so I learned how to serve with an humble heart as well as the mission behind the place I was serving. Thank you!! Totally recommend!!
Pura vida
March 15, 2025by: Harvey Mitchell - United KingdomHad an amazing time working closely with local builders who were very happy to teach and answer any questions that I had, the home stay family were also very kind and helped me to figure out anything that I was confused by. Met so many lovely people and made so many memories, definitely would recommend for inexperienced travellers as everything is pretty much taken care of.
