Support Lexi Meyer’s Intercultural Exchange with AFS Costa Rica 2025

Lexi is a dedicated student at Whangamatā Area School with a passion for languages, sports, and cultural exchange. Fluent in Spanish, Lexi hopes to join the AFS intercultural exchange program to Costa Rica for the academic year of 2025. This exciting opportunity will allow her to continue developing her language skills and immerse herself in a vibrant and different culture.

Why Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is a Spanish speaking country with a southern hemisphere academic year. It's renowned for its stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and welcoming culture. For Lexi, this experience is more than just an academic venture; it’s a chance to broaden her horizons, make lifelong connections, and gain a deeper understanding of global communities.

Passions & Goals

Lexi is an enthusiastic Spanish speaker and she is passionate about surf life saving, dance, and netball. She hopes to continue pursuing these interests while studying in Central America. By participating in this exchange program, Lexi aims to blend her academic goals with her love for sports, enriching her life both inside and outside the classroom.

Let’s help Lexi achieve her dream of studying and living in Costa Rica.

Your support will not only aid her in her academic pursuits but also empower her to share her experiences and inspire others in her community. Together, we can make a significant difference in Lexi’s journey toward becoming a global citizen.
