Day by day 

We know how much you'll love the Costa Rica trip... but don't take our word for it!

Check out some of our alumni reviews. 

I recently went on the Costa Rica FTLO trip and had the absolute best time! This was their first trip since COVID so you can imagine how much we all wanted to be there and were ready for adventure and a good time and let me tell you FTLO delivered! It turned out to be an all-girls trip which made it that much more special in the making friends' department. Makayla was our trip leader and she had the best vibes and recommendations the entire time! We had the perfect balance of adventure, relaxing, eating, and party time! Just what us girls needed! Thankful for what FTLO has created it's truly a special experience. Also, I had the best roomie, so another BIG thanks to Makayla for doing an amazing job at pairing everyone up! There were 9 of us this trip and the trip didn't seem too big or too small. I thoroughly enjoyed all the activities that were included and appreciated the downtime we got to explore Costa Rica for ourselves! If you are thinking about it taking an FTLO trip do it you won't regret it! I'd for sure go again! Thanks again FTLO!

I went to Costa Rica with FTLO. It was incredible. Prior to this trip, I had never traveled out of the US. I was hesitant to do so by myself (even though I travel by myself in the states all the time) because I wanted to make sure I was safe, had good experiences, had help if I needed it, and had people to spend time with. FTLO provided all of that and way more. I seriously could not have asked for a better time. I enjoyed all the people in my group; It felt like I was hanging out with casual friends. The food recommendations were incredible. The activities were everything I wanted to do (ranging from outdoors/active things, foodie experiences, and cultural experiences, plus more!). There was ample free time for me to do what felt good for me and there was no pressure to participate in anything. Just having everything planned for me and taken care of took away a ton of anxiety which made it possible for me to truly enjoy everything. I will definitely book again!

FTLO did not disappoint, I went on their Costa Rica trip and I have nothing but great things to say. Starting with before the trip, they contact you with everything you need to know for the trip and inform you of the daily itinerary. This was my first time going on an FTLO trip, I was expecting the typical tour guides but they do an amazing job at structuring every day as unique and wonderful as possible. You can tell right off Day #1 that they did their research on the city and culture, they take you to very yummy restaurants for drinks & foods , and they provide hands down the best excursions. If I would've planned this trip for myself I wouldn't have gone to half the places we visited. Let's not forget about the others on the trip, everyone was so unique and different that only made the experience better. And our trip leader, Makayla, was ABOVE & BEYOND- She was always on the lookout making sure everyone was enjoying their time and available 24/7. I made incredible memories, and met really great people I call friends now! If you're thinking of going on a trip with them, DO IT! :) Definitely recommend if you like to travel!
