Costa Rica Was an Unforgettable Experience!

When I was 13, I went to Costa Rica for the first time with a group of teenagers. When I got there, I was amazed by the beautiful landscape and wildlife. The beaches were very captivating because of the white sand and lush forests surrounding the area. The waves were perfect for surfing which is one of the activities I got to experience while I was there. The other beach that we explored had calm and clear waters that were good for snorkeling and seeing all of the amazing sea creatures. Costa Rica also had many mountains which we got to hike and go ziplining. It was really cool to be able to zipline through the rainforest and waterfalls. We got to go tubing through the rushing waters of a river in the mountains. Although the water was on the colder side, it was really fun and a wonderful memory. Everyone that I went on my trip with was super nice and it was great to be able to meet new people and make new friends. The food was delicious and there were many options to choose from. We stayed in 3 different hotels throughout the 10-day adventure and all of the hotels were in great locations. Overall, I would highly recommend going on this adrenaline-filled experience in Costa Rica since it was completely safe, unforgettable, and full of exciting activities.

Life Changing Experience

This summer I went to the Costa Rica for younger teens: Hola Costa Rica trip. It's a very big step to go out of the country with people you don't know. Trust me I was very hesitant. It takes a lot of courage to sign up for something so far out of your comfort zone, but I assure you, you will NOT regret it. I had the time of my life. Everything was perfect. The food was wonderful. The other kids were great. The counselors were very professional and experienced. It was truly a life changing experience.
