Study Abroad in Costa Rica

In the summer of 2016, I had the privilege of studying abroad in Costa Rica for six weeks.  I stayed with a wonderful host family in Heredia, which is fifteen minutes away from the capital, San Jose.  I studied Spanish at a local university through a program called, Sol Study Abroad.  On the weekends, my friends and I went on excursions to explore the beautiful country.  I went river rafting and zip-lining through the rain forest, watched a surf competition on a black sanded beach, played soccer and volleyball, and saw many sloths.  Although it was only for six weeks, it was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget.
