I had so much fun!

June 07, 2025by: Scarlet Marquez - United StatesProgram: GLA Costa Rica: Sea Turtle Initiative™

GLA was so amazing!! Costa Rica was so much fun and the experience was unlike any other experience! In Costa Rica for the Sea Turtle Initiative we had so many activities. We went zip lining, white water rafting and walking along the beach. Everything and everyone there was magical the friendships we made were forever long bonds. The hikes at night were beautiful with the gorgeous thunderstorms and the mornings were gorgeous.
