17-year-old Danny Hahm from Toronto hosts this third episode of the Road Scholars series. He's going to study Science & Society in Costa Rica, which in Spanish means "rich coast" and is known as the "Switzerland of the Americas". Danny saw Costa Rica the first time on a TV documentary when he was 7 years old, and he's going to make his own TV documentary now that he's 10 years older.

He expects to earn a senior high school credit by lying on the beach and having a nice relaxing time. He ends up spending much of his time bathing in volcanic mud, scuba diving in the ocean, sitting in hot springs, doing synchronized swimming in the pool, building castles in the sand, playing crab soccer on the beach, and dancing the Salsa in Latin music, which he does with 34 girls and 6 guys on the same trip.
