Costa Rica

I loved how family oriented Costa Rica is. The people are all so welcoming and I felt like a part of the family. I also brought back a lot of thoughts on schools and ideas on how to improve our school grounds and my classroom teachings.
I ate so much! I tried many new things and it was all wonderful. I was surprised by how little free time I had on my trip, but it was okay to be busy because I was a solo traveler and the only volunteer on my particular trip. It didn't give me time to be bored or missing home. I was able to go to several tourist spots, too, even on days I worked.
