Salsa guacamole

I had a really fun time! There is a lot to do in Costa Rica and the free opportunities that maximo nivel have is a really good way to socialise. The workers here take really good care of us and the always meet us with a smile and good attitude. That’s the best thing about maximo novel! Good people with energy!!! At work I learned a lot and got to practise health care closer than before. The overall experience gave me new perspectives about how health care is outside Norway, and the equipment and facilities we have there should not be taken for granted.

I think Quepos was one of the best places that i’ve been to. the people, the food, the atmosphere. I just love it here. Also if you want to come here, be sure that you do the surfing classes for a week!! It was the best

My time in Costa Rica with Maximo Nivel was definitely one that I will cherish and hold near and dear to my heart for forever. There were so many amazing people to meet and so many amazing experiences to be had. My host mom, Marisol was an amazing host and made us all feel very comfortable and happy, all while keeping a fun and lighthearted atmosphere in the house. The campus in Quepos, Costa Rica is very comfortable and well made and I enjoyed spending time there as well!
