Teaching English in Manuel Antonio

There are no words to express how much I enjoyed my experience. The location, the assignment, the support from Maximo NIvel before and during my stay, everything was perfect. This memorable experience will forever stay with me. I was somewhat apprehensive before leaving home since I was travelling solo for the first time. I met wonderful people along the way and safety was absolutely not an issue with some precaution. Thank you!

This was so amazing, everyone's so cool and fun. Michael was the greatest project supervisor of all time. My student residence was LIT - it was a great time. Loved all Maximo and American Inca Trail people.
