A Typical Day

By Jennie M., guest blogger studying Spanish in Heredia, Costa Rica

My day begins with a plate of fruit for desayuno.  The fruits generally include papaya, pineapple, mango, and watermelon.  I've really enjoyed having fresh fruit for breakfast each morning.  The dish that accompanies my fruit plate varies from day to day - my meals have included gallo pinto, an avocado sandwich, or even cereal on occasion.

Argentina Spanish Schools

From Buenos Aires to the mountains of Patagonia, AmeriSpan has a variety of Argentina Spanish schools to choose from, whether you're a beach bum or a ski bunny! This country offers so many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to discover a truly unique place. While studying in Argentina, you can take excursions to attractions like the majestic Iguazu Falls, Andean national parks, the beaches of Montevideo, and more! Not that these locations don't have their own sights to see- there are unique things to learn and see in every city!

Adventures in Costa Rica

By Bradley R., guest blogger studying Spanish in Heredia and Samara Beach, two of AmeriSpan's most popular Costa Rica Spanish schools
 
If you are reading this blog or have any interest in studying in Costa Rica, chances are you are familiar with the many adventure tours that are offered here—and are especially popular with North Americans
and Europeans.  The many possibilities include canyoning, diving, surfing, spelunking, hiking through the mountains and around volcanoes, sailing, drinking the local liquor, etc.  I have done just enough of these to provide a taste of these experiences.

Excursion to Mamita's Beach

By Alisa W., guest blogger studying Spanish in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

 It has been very hot here in Playa for the past week.  It rained on and off nearly every day, and now I realize that the rain helped to keep it a little cooler, especially at night!  I'm counting down my last 4 days here in Playa.  The time has flown by, and I can't believe I've been here a month already!  I'm excited to get back to the comforts of home, but as I've said before, sad to leave such beautiful beaches.
