Very culturally enriching!

San Jose, although not the best place for tourism or nature access, was still a cool destination for me as I’m interested in world cultures and sociology, which I certainly saw lots of here. My host family was super kind and the volunteer experience taught me a lot about the education system here in Costa Rica. It opened my eyes to how the poorest populations can be the happiest. I wish I had done more research before choosing to volunteer in this city, but I definitely spent my time well and am grateful for the experience Maximo Nivel gave me. They were really supportive and made the traveling easier for sure!

It was an amazing experience to work with little kids by doing the childcare project, as well as doing spanish lessons with a local teacher. I had a wonderful experience with the other volounteers as well: we did the cooking classes offered by Maximo Nivel and ate the best food!

What a time!

I appreciated Yennys patient approach and conversational style to present information and develop my conversational skills. Presented information in an easy to understand and straightforward manner. Excellent experience. Thank you.
