I am off for 6 whole months to the beautiful, diverse (and hopefully sunny) Costa Rica for my gap year before going to university to do conservation work and teaching children English. I will be staying all over Costa Rica during my time there and will be doing all sorts of different things. For one month I will be up in the mountains working on an eco-friendly organic farm, for another I will be working in a big cat reserve getting up close with amazing animals such as pumas and for another I will be helping with conservation of a cloud rainforest. Although being away from family and friends and everything that's familiar seems daunting, I am looking forward to all the new, exciting experiences that await me. I will meet strangers that will turn into life long friends and see sites I could only dream of. I really hope that during my gap year I can give as much back to the environment and people in Costa Rica as I am sure they will give to me.
