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!

I had so much fun!

I went to Cusco Peru where I studied Spanish and did construction volunteer. The host family was so sweet and the school was super fun. In Costa Rica volunteered at a local school and it was the best experience. The kids and teachers were amazing. The Spanish classes were wonderful as well. I learned a lot.
