Costa Rica

  • Now that I have finally adjusted back to being in the states, I can properly reflect on the time that I spent in Costa Rica. What a time it was. I made some amazing memories with some great people and learned so much more about Costa Rican culture and the birds that live there. Coming…

  • La Selva is an adventure. It is also the place that I dubbed Home with Bigger Mosquitos because it is just as muggy as South Georgia, and I was actually great fun for the bug suit my father insisted that I bring that I insisted I wouldn’t wear. ( I was wrong)We have a nice…

  • Costa Rica – Again!

    I just finished most of my packing for my Costa Rican Maymester (I leave tomorrow, nothing like procrastination!) I’ve never had to pack for a 3 week trip, let alone pack for that much time in under 50 pounds, so it was interesting to say the least. I’m getting so nervous, but overall I’m really excited.…

  • So, I am sitting at the airport, and I am tired. I woke up at 3:30 am and drove here, and I’m just tired. However, I am so excited about this trip that I can’t even imagine napping as I wait for departure. My parents are doing seesaw impressions going between “This will be an…

    Back to reality is exactly what I had told my roommates before I left Costa Rica. I had such an amazing experience and will never forget the friendships I made or the memories that will last a lifetime. I called family members on the way back to Athens. I called my grandmother and told her…

  • Finals and Beyond

    It seems like we returned from Costa Rica just in time for project deadlines and finals. However, this year is very different form the other three. I feel refreshed and eager to finish out the semester on top. My attitude is different from that of my other peers. They look tired and worn; anxious for…

  • Back to Athens

    I cannot believe that I only spent nine days in Costa Rica. I felt like I was there for such a long time. I have gained so much knowledge about coffee. Costa Rica, land of coffee you will be missed!

  • Costa Rica- Pura Vida

    Someone once told me being in Costa Rica is like stepping into a Jurassic Park scene. I completely agree! Costa Rica is lush, green and beautiful. If it wasn’t for the 7 am wake up alarms and the back to back activities, you could almost consider this trip a vacation. It is that beautiful and…
