Traveling with ISV was the best decision I ever made.

While I was in Costa Rica I volunteered for Proyecto Carey, located in the Osa Peninsula. It was a breathtakingly beautiful area surrounded by picturesque beaches and the locals were gracious and kind. During our two weeks we hiked through the rain forest and documented frugivores' interactions with nutmeg trees, all in the hopes of creating legislation to protect nutmeg trees for future generations. My roommate was amazing, as were the rest of the volunteers on our project and our host families. We truly became a little family during our time at Proyecto Carey.

The second two weeks were a wonderful finish to a meaningful trip! The activities were terrifying, crazy, and wonderful. We all had the time of our lives! I made great friends and enjoyed so many new experiences. Sometimes I look back at the pictures from my trip because it's the only real proof that something this wonderful actually happened, and it wasn't all a figment of my imagination!

If you're considering going on this trip- DO IT! There is no possibly way you will regret it!!
