Do not forget your bikini, there are plenty of opportunities for swimming! Hello again everyone! I have noticed that this blog is currently without a packing list, and I remember that I wondered what to bring when I started to prepare my luggage.

I had mixed feelings when I left Oslo in august as I left so many friends in Norway, but I am very happy to be in Costa Rica, and I love to be here. The first seven weeks have been amazing – everyone is very welcoming. This blog post will be about how the organization

Studying with Kulturstudier in Costa Rica, we have a lot of opportunities to travel during the weekends since we only have half a day in school on Thursdays and are free on Fridays. It is a very generous arrangement from the school. Kulturstudier does organize some joint travels, and some we have done on our
One big pro of travelling with Kulturstudier is to not have to deal with the stress of finding housing for a whole semester. They rent a bunch of houses where we just simply move in when arriving. We live six to nine people together in each house. Living in Costa Rica is a big change
