My experience at KSTR was amazing! First of all Quepos, Costa Rica is beautiful, I really got to see and appreciate the area from the forest, town, and my personal favorite; the beach. Secondly, The people were incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. I made good friends with the staff and other volunteers and even some locals and other travelers in the town. Last but not least, The volunteer work for the KSTR project itself was enjoyable and made me feel fulfilled with my experience.
