Costa Rica Has My Heart

Having the opportunity to intern abroad in Costa Rica has opened so many opportunities and conversations for me. I had the absolute best experience and I couldn’t have done it without World Endeavors. They were amazing to work with! Costa Rica changed my life in such a positive way. I learned so much and would LOVE to go back vacation there. It’s incredible there and completely changed my perspective on life in general. 10/10 recommend!

It was a great experience, and I hope to return to Costa Rica soon! I learned a lot about OT and I also learned a lot more Spanish. I hope to continue learning more! I reccommend World Endeavors to my friends and colleagues.

I loved the dance class

I was able to understand how physical therapists in another country used their knowledge of the human body to treat patients. I loved the dance class that was included in my program. It could be nice to see some resources for other dance classes, etc. that are close to where the student is staying.
