"Choosing to go on the Under30Experience trip to Costa Rica was one of the best decisions I have made in a while-it's honestly difficult to condense all my feelings into a short paragraph. I was so inspired by how the team at Rancho Margot has worked with nature to create a sanctuary that invites guests to think differently about sustainable design. Being surrounded by so many interesting and adventurous individuals revitalized my soul and reenergized my commitment to following my passion. I never thought I would say this, but it was honestly difficult to say goodbye at the airport on Sunday. If you want a trip that alters your idea of what a vacation is-I suggest you sign up. We only get one life, so choose to enjoy, engage, and experience." -Deven G.
"I went on starter Costa Rica trip in April and it was seriously one of the best experiences of my life. I was so sad to leave all of the people I had met and the beautiful places in Costa Rica that we traveled to. Our tour guides were amazing, fun loving and down to earth. I loved every person in our group and am so excited to meet up with them again someday! Would HIGHLY recommend. This trip gets you out of your comfort zone and allows you to meet amazing new people/experience beautiful parts of the country. :)" -Madison Y.
"My friend and I agree that this is the best vacation we have ever been on and the best travel company we have ever experienced. There was not one moment of disappointment and I literally laughed until it hurt. Jonno ensured that everything we did was effortless and enjoyable. The accommodations were stellar, the staff was local, the excursions were unforgettable, and the other travelers enhanced the experience tenfold. I can't say enough good things. If you are even slightly considering traveling with this family of amazing people, do it." -Ana A.
