Unforgettable experience
December 14, 2023by: Sophia Toney - United StatesProgram: GLA Costa Rica: Spanish Service AdventureThis trip was something my that I will always remember. I made sure to journal all the fun things we did like have a secret water fight, play chicken in the pool, or make Costa Rican desserts. The people on this trip were amazing and all contributed to ensure the trip was great. The adults always made us feel welcome and safe, plus the activities were so fun. Whether it was Spanish class to Group discussion I could always count on the people around to make this experience the best.
