Meet Miranda G.

"I became a more adventurous, independent, confident individual after studying abroad in San Jose. I had so many opportunities to explore beaches and volcanoes, snorkel and whale watch, and participate in cultural immersion experiences. I got to learn how to cook many traditional Latin American dishes, take tropical dance classes, and learn about Costa Rican history. I would not have changed my experience for the world."
