Internship Costa Rica – report 1 from Samara Costa Rica

Once Upon a time…

Internship Costa Rica – report 1 – spirit of the jungle

My Internship Costa Rica – report 1 … there was a lost Swiss at the airport in San José: Arrived at the airport I was lost. Alone. In a foreign country. Without any possibility to ask someone for directions. I had missed my bus to Sámara, so I had to look for a hotel for the night. A taxi drove me a few minutes later to a hotel, where I could spend the night.

The next day I started my journey to Sámara. Once there, I was glad to meet Rainer, someone who spoke my language and above all someone whom I could trust. With him I drove to the hotel, where I was to spend the next month.

The way to the „Paraíso del Cocodrilo“ was pure adventure! I was not able to shut my mouth in amazement as we drove through the Costa Rican rainforest. Everything was bathed in a lush green and I heard nothing but the roar of the monkeys, the twittering of the birds and the chirping of the crickets.

The highlight of the ride was when Rainer drove the jeep through the river. When he told me that there were crocodiles in this river, I was thrilled. I was in the middle of the tropics of Costa Rica!

Internship Costa Rica 2022 – magic –

Internship Costa Rica 2022 my magic year. Because This year I celebrate my 10th anniversary, away from the cold and complaining Germany where still applies, who complains the loudest or complains most often about his suffering, lives the real life. No thanks, I definitely didn’t want that.

Internship Costa Rica 2022 – Welcome to Ticolandia

10 years on the road, who would have thought that in 2009?! At least I didn’t, but then it just happened, and that’s a good thing. Spain, that was my goal after high school, first get out, see and experience something different. I will learn Spanish and do an internship. Only not in the 17th state Mallorca, that was important. Andalusia, or Cordoba to be more precise, was the destination.

For someone who comes from the flat country at the Baltic Sea, this was a fierce contrast. Upon arrival I was greeted with fiery 45°C, the first cab ride was reminiscent of a getaway in an action movie and when I finally arrived at my accommodation I was welcomed in spirited Spanish, of which I understood nothing, and with two besos left and right.

Plaza de la Corredera, my favorite place in Cordoba

But then it only took a few weeks to realize that I had discovered a new world for myself. My stay for 5 months has become a life plan.
Andalusia has become my home for a good four years, here I discovered my passion for people, Spanish cuisine, music, culture and recognized my career path in the field of tourism through my trainee program in hotel management. I chose this as my field of study, but first I had to fight my way through the bureaucratic jungle in Spain, and then I had to stand my ground among 150 Spanish students at the regular university in Cordoba.
