This has been an amazing experience that I could never do if I had not received the help from SPC.

I absolutely love Costa Rica.

The people, the scenery, and the food are all great.

I met wonderful people from school on this trip and am grateful to have them with me on this journey. It has helped me enjoy this trip to the fullest and overcome any fears of being in a strange country.

I have seen so many wonderful things for the first time like the Rio Grande, museums, the Pacific Ocean and am trying to get the courage to do more activities like visiting the jungle and volcanoes.

The staff at ILISA has been wonderful. The trips are very well-organized and they have assisted me whenever needed.

I am learning a great deal of Spanish, maintaining an A average and I absolutely loved my first professor. This week we get a new professor so wish me luck.
