Costa Rica Study Abroad

In this episode of Going Live with Global Learning, Tia chats with Maggie, a Parks and Natural Resources student at Kirkwood Community College, about her unforgettable study abroad experience in Costa Rica. Focused on conservation and environmental sustainability, Maggie’s program took her from the cloud forests of Monteverde to the Caribbean coast of Varagua, where she explored coffee farms, mangroves, and community-led conservation projects. She shares stories of working with local cooperatives, learning about sustainable living, and even helping with leatherback sea turtle monitoring on the beaches at night. Discover how Costa Rica’s commitment to conservation inspired Maggie’s passion for protecting the planet — and how study abroad can completely change the way you see the world. 🌎 Learn more about Global Learning at Kirkwood: 👉 https://www.kirkwood.edu/global #KirkwoodCommunityCollege #GlobalLearning #StudyAbroad #CostaRica #Conservation #ParksAndNaturalResources #EnvironmentalSustainability #WildlifeProtection #CulturalExchange #KirkwoodGlobal
