Expanding horizons

Starting off and getting ready to leave my country I didn’t know what to expect. I have had no friends who had ever done an exchange year so I was about to endure an extremely mysterious experience. Now being back I can say that I could have never expected the amount of emotional, mental and maturity growth I went through, and the amount of independence I had while I was in Costa Rica has helped me the second I have been back and will continue help my future of college and travels. If it weren’t for this immense growing experience I wouldn’t be close to the same person I am today.
