My experience studying abroad in Costa Rica was magical, but I still do not think that word is enough to describe this amazing experience. It is an experience to remember and will not be the last trip I will take to this beautiful country. The experience was life-changing; I learned so much around me but also learned about myself as well. On top of being an educational experience, it included fun excursions and engaging opportunities. I got to create lasting friendships, learned about diverse cultures, the people, and enhanced my Spanish skills. This trip made me realize my love for studying abroad, the last thing I wanted to do was to get back on that plane home. I would highly recommend studying abroad especially if it is in Costa Rica. Not only was the food bomb but it was an unforgettable journey. The only words that best describes Costa Rica are ¡Pura Vida!
