Fun time in Costa Rica
February 21, 2025by: Emily Wilson - United StatesProgram: Conservation Projects—Volunteer in Costa Rica!It was a great program. It encouraged us to really experience local culture and life. Learning to navigate the bus system during Costa Rican rush hour was an unexpected, but super fun, part of the week. We really are given the opportunity to venture outside the regular tourist experience and see daily activities. Gave me a new appreciation for our similarities and differences.
Great experience!

It was a rewarding experience to contribute to protecting these amazing creatures while learning so much about conservation. Would love to do it again!
