Intro

I am an English student in my third year of university studying Spanish and Economics, and am about to start studying economics modules at the Ulatina in San José.

I chose to come to Latin America because I wanted to go further afield than Spain, and I chose Costa Rica because the Ulatina specialises in Economics and Business courses. In fact, it was only Economics students from my English uni who had the opportunity of coming here to study in the first place. 

However, I also chose Costa Rica because I want to discover something completely different to life back at home. Here, I can immerse myself in everyday city life (which is totally different to life in the UK in itself) and also be constantly exploring new places and experiencing new things in the incredible surroundings outside the city. 

This blog is mainly informative; before I left I found it really hard to find information or guidance on various topics, so hopefully it will be helpful for anyone planning on doing the same thing.
