Best month of my life
June 06, 2025by: Sigalia Rose - EnglandProgram: Working with Kids—Volunteer in Costa Rica!I had the best time here. I met so many people that i will remember forever. I wouldn’t have done anything differently. I am very happy with this experience. The accommodation was very good, as was the food and my roommate. The locals are all very friendly and helpful too.
