Families of Costa Rica
Ten-year-old Estibaliz is growing up in Cabuya, which is very close to a national nature reserve and has a thriving ecotourism business. Follow Estibaliz to her school and be part of her classes. After school, she does her chores and we visit with her parents while they work. The next day, Estibaliz walks to an island during low tide and later in the evening attends an exciting soccer game followed by a fun-filled community dance.

José, a ten-year-old boy, lives in Escazu near the capital of San Jose with his parents and 3-year-old brother. His father imports vehicles from the United States while his mother teaches swimming lessons. We accompany José to school where he conducts experiments, attends his soccer practice, and end the night by eating sushi made by their housekeeper.

Now we have 27 countries and growing. We are looking for a family in Italy. If you do not see your country of interest in our series and suggest a country, family and schools, please let us know.
