I loved volunteering at Tropical Adventures! I volunteered teaching English in Puerto Viejo. As soon as I got there I changed my plane ticket to stay for two extra months because I did not want to leave! The kids at the school were so cute, and everything was very relaxed. I was a little nervous before I went because I did not know Spanish, but the kids at the school don't care and they love you anyways! Mauro, the Tropical Adventures employee that was living in Puerto Viejo was very nice and really helpful with the language barrier. The family I lived with in Puerto Viejo was great and I'm planning a trip back there just to visit them. They truly became a second family to me. I also fell in love with the town of Puerto Viejo. The beach was beautiful and the people there were so welcoming and friendly. Volunteering and living there for a few months was the best thing I have done with my life so far! I'm just back in the states saving up money so I can return!
