In my personal opinion, I think Costa Rica would be a great place to visit with my family. I've always wanted to visit a country like this with lush environments, beautiful skylines, and amazing beaches. I would love to travel here by the end of high school once my Spanish is better so I can indulge myself more in the culture and environment.
