Highly Recommend!
by: Gabrielle Groom - United StatesProgram: Medical Volunteers Needed—Work in Costa Rica!I did a one week volunteer healthcare program where I helped senior residents at a nursing home. Maximo staff was incredible with communication, the project staff were super nice and helpful, and the host family was great! Maximo offers free Salsa dancing lessons and free cooking classes which were a ton of fun! The volunteer work is very rewarding and it gave me a different outlook on patient care. The host family was super sweet and always checking in. The experience was amazing, although if y...
Pura Vida!
by: Alli Maynard - United StatesProgram: Medical Volunteers Needed—Work in Costa Rica!I really enjoyed being in Costa Rica for the 3 weeks that I spent here. The weekend trips were incredible and my Spanish was taken to a whole new level with the classes offered at Maximo Nivel. My volunteer placement taught me so much and I am so grateful for this experience!

I'd previously volunteered in Cambodia teaching English, and I was keen to head somewhere else and help out. I had previously quit university and was tired of working two jobs...so I booked a ticket to South America.

I want to go to graduate school to pursue a PhD in Romance Languages. I have a degree in Spanish, but I knew I wanted to live abroad, immersed in the language and culture, and really perfect my Spanish skills before beginning such a high-caliber program. Having a degree in teaching ESL already, I knew I could get a job teaching English abroad without going through a TEFL/TESOL Certification program, but I wanted to go through an organization so that I would have a support system in my new home and could ease into life abroad with a group of peers who were doing the same type of thing as I was.

I traveled to many places, but as tourist only. I think I was just ready to take my experiences to a new level, really get to know the country as if I lived there. I traveled to India and China in the past, saw all the touristy places but didn't experience as much of their culture as I would like to. Volunteering in Guatemala was exactly what I was looking for: interaction with locals and living just like one of them.
