“Think about it ahead of time and also have money prepared” — Mattison Gotcher
Mattison Gotcher (@mdgotcher) is a communications major at UT-Austin and she wanted to learn Spanish through immersion. So, she did what any rational college student would do; she packed her bags, and headed south to Costa Rica for the summer. Mattison lived in San Jose for two months, but she didn’t just take classes. She also did some volunteer work which she talks about in the interview.
