Most Affordable Internships in Costa Rica | Intern Abroad HQ

I felt very supported when applying and leading up to the program. Any questions I had were answered within 24 hours. My Program Manager was amazing and she was able to help me with any questions or concerns I had. I enjoyed being able to create long-lasting friendships with people from all over the world and share the experience of coral restoration. Being able to scuba dive every day with my fellow interns and learn more about marine conservation felt surreal as I get to apply my knowledge and skills to my future career in the ocean conservation field. I will forever remember this experience and will continue to keep the friendships I have made during this amazing opportunity! Being exposed to new cultures will allow me to continue to be open-minded about future countries I visit, as this trip to Costa Rica allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and grow more independent as a person.

For me, getting my dive certification was the most important aspect, but to also obtain academic credits along the way topped it all. The people were amazing and always waved as I walked everyday to the marina and back. Cleaning the beach, my zipline excursions, and to look down as a turtle swims next to me was amazing. I'm going on another internship with Intern Abroad, but this time to Greece. Thanks Intern Abroad for 8 weeks of adventure!

What I enjoyed the most about my internship in Costa Rica were the trails and sightseeings. This experience definitely helped improve my English skills and made me want to work more for an environmental purpose.
