Amazing Once in a lifetime experience
February 01, 2017by: Rosie Beales - Blandford ForumProgram: Learn Spanish & Volunteer 2 or 4 weeksI can't believe how quickly these weeks have gone here. I came here on my own not knowing anyone and I will leave here having made friends for life. Living here in Santa Teresa in the jungle is absolute paradise and the accommodation is perfect for young people. It's lovely staying somewhere that feels home from home with puppies running around and delicious home-cooking. The surfing week was great fun and loved making signs and bins from reclaimed wood to raise awareness for water safety on the beaches. I will be very sad to leave here and would recommend to anyone who is looking for an amazing experience. I feel very lucky to have been a part of it.
