Hola,

is my 8th program that I have completed as a Program Manager. I enjoy these programs as I meet phenomenal students and amazing staff. I can safely say this has been the busiest program I have been associated with.

We met roughly 25 days ago. Over that time, we have witnessed new friendships develop and observed student relationships improve with their teachers. The students have become expert travelers.

If the students are disappointed that the program is over, that’s a good thing as it means we as a staff have done our jobs and the students have fully immersed themselves in the program.

I am hoping the students have created friendships that will continue for many years, maybe a lifetime. They have had the opportunity to participate in many amazing excursions that have created great memories.

To the staff, Angela, Sarah, Dave, Jake, Nicole, Mimi, Paul, Shane, Gabi, Cassie and Mary. You are phenomenal educators!

I would be negligent to not thank our Costa Rican hosts during this adventure. Mariam, Erik, Olga, Wendy, Leah, Orlando and Mario Jr. You have done Mario Sr. proud.

As always be safe, enjoy the experience, and make smart decisions.

Pura Vida,

Jeremy and Ang
