Speaking English in Costa Rica during volunteer travel?

Hello, I really like your site. A lot of good information! I am going to be doing some volunteering work in Brasilito, Costa Rica and I would like to find some people from the USA to be able to talk in English. Do you recommend any site that is good?

Answer: I'm not sure I understand your question - so I'll give you two answers. If you're looking to practice English, I would recommend mylanguageexchange.com - you can find plenty of English-speakers with whom to practice.

If what you're looking for are English-speakers at your destination in Costa Rica, I suggest you check out some of the Costa Rican-based resources online, like Transitions Abroad, Americans in Costa Rica, or by putting a classified ad in one of the many Costa Rican online or newspaper ad services. Hope this helps!
