Great experience

I had a great time. Costa Rica is an amazing experience, only made better by the people in it. This includes my fantastic Spanish teacher Jean Jimenez. Jean was just what I needed for the week to help me level up my beginner level Spanish. Jean was patient, and very knowledgable on what was most effective for my learning. Looking forward to go back again for further improvements to my language learning journey.

Additionally, the surf instruction was awesome and I would suggest anyone going to do at least a few lessons while i...
