Costa Rica Global Learning Programs - Summer 2022 Internship

I did a 3-month internship with Costa Rica Global Learning Programs. It was my first time being away from home and living in a country I knew nothing about. However, the GLP team went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe throughout the whole experience. I could always rely on them whenever I had concerns or questions about anything. What made my internship unique is that it did not feel like I was doing work—more like a vacation! Every weekend, the GLP team took me to visit local tourist spots and local shops to try new foods, among other things. My experience with the program helped me grow both on a professional and personal level. Not only did I learn so much about Costa Rica, but the experience also helped me realize my capabilities as an individual. If given the opportunity in the future, I would apply for the program again!
