We have been home for about 4 days and I thought life would slow down a bit, but it hasn’t. Between analyzing data and adjusting to the time change, I still feel like I haven’t settled in. Taking a minute to step away from my group and trip, I’m walking away with such gratitude. I…

Whew! What a long day. We spent the day taking a bus tour of the Highlands of Scotland. My favorite part of today was taking a boat tour of Loch Ness. During my childhood, my mother (who is Irish) used to tell us and sing about different folk tales of Scotland and Ireland. I spent…

While the entire trip was a blast, one of my favorite days was a day when we just got to see Costa Rica! We started the morning off by going on a zip-lining tour through the clouds. While we may have been cold and wet the entire time, the views were incredible and it was…

My favorite activity during our study abroad — besides tasting all the wonderful chocolate — would have to be zip-lining over the trees in the rainforest. We were in Abangares, Costa Rica, and the mountain views paired with my adrenaline rush was simply amazing. It was very cloudy that day, so we could only see…

This isn’t my first trip abroad, or to Costa Rica even. I actually spent nearly 2 months in Costa Rica on a study abroad experience in my undergrad career. So I’ll admit that I wasn’t entirely too concerned or uninformed of what was about to take place. However, this did not necessarily mean that I…
