Moving to Costa Rica: Taking the Plunge

In July 2005, just before my senior year of college, I was introduced to this small Central American country that would change my life. Studying abroad for college credits, I spent two weeks in Heredia and three weeks on the beach at Playa Samara. On the weekends I traveled to exciting locations like Tortuguero, Puerto Viejo, Montezuma and Arenal. I fell in love with the Spanish language, the country's natural beauty and, most of all, with its beaches.
