Costa Rica Animal Rescue Service

I went on the “Costa Rica Animal Rescue Service” trip. This was my first trip with TFT and I was one of the younger teens on the trip so I was definitely nervous. I am a relatively shy person and with random teens I just met this was way out of my comfort zone. But I knew I wanted to do it and I am so glad that I was able to convince myself because it was truly a trip I will never forget. Of course I loved going to a different country, all the amazing sites, the great adventures (my first time white water rafting and ziplining), and being able to be around animals all day. But, to me what made me love it even more and stood out to me were the little details, the friends I made, the counselors, and of course the food I had. Every single person on the trip was so nice, and I made friends that made the journey that much better. The counselors were always there for me and I felt like I could talk to them about anything. One of the greatest things was, I got to experience something different everyday and that made me see the world in such a new way. Whether that was trying a new food, hanging with the animals, or going on some crazy adventure that I would have never thought I could do amazed me. I cannot recommend this trip enough, not only did it get me out of my comfort zone and made me see myself in a whole different way but it also gave me experiences and life lessons that I will forever keep.
