My time in Costa Rica - Leonidas Langford

I've been living in Costa Rica for 7 months. It definitely has its high moments and its low moments. Overall, it's been a great experience. Let me tell you why.

So XploreAsia supported me with documents and advice. Jordayne has always been there when I've asked questions and always offered me the most useful advice. Travelling can be nerve-racking but there's always people you can ask for help. So journey was good. San Ramon with the chicas was great. Its the placement program. I only stayed there for a week but I got to make some great friends and it was nice to settle into Costa Rica this way, kind of like a holiday before the school term starts.

The school. It's got issues but overall I've enjoyed it. No school is gonna be perfect but if there's one thing I've learnt about moving abroad you can't be too picky and you need to be open minded otherwise you'll just move back home. Oral expression is fun and the students are great. One thing tho never been paid on time but when asked they have done it. So be prepared for admin issues. I've covered marked exams and yeah school is decent. Driver takes me to school.

Social life great. I've dated, learned some Spanish and relaxed. Great tbh. I have my own room with shower.

Costa Rica is expensive. So if you wanna save money I'd suggest cooking at home or eating at your school cafeteria.
