Had an amazing time!

I stayed in Manuel Antonio with the Maximo team and had a wonderful time! It was a little stressful at first with the minimal information offered, but once I arrived in Quepos, Costa Rica, I felt entirely cared for and supported. Wonderful team and a wonderful program! (Shout out to Karen, the best manager out there and practically a second host mom to me and my best friend ❤️❤️❤️)

Colouring with seniors at the nursing home!

I had a great time!

Volunteering at the Ofelia Carvajal was an eye opening experience! I established a great connection with the seniors there and enjoyed the care provided for them. I’d like to thank the staff for guiding us in these 2 weeks!

Incredible experience!

Maximo staff was 10/10. They are great, very organized, and lovely to work with. They truly found the communities that needed help the most and were so positive and encouraging throughout the entire process. I learned so much and am so grateful!
