I have been waiting for this trip for months! I didn’t really have anything in my mind what I was getting into since I have never been to another country. But, so far I have been very impressed from an agricultural view. We have seen some awesome operations and learned so much from management practices…

Today has been eventful! I finally made it to the airport. This is my very first time flying so checking in and getting to where I needed to be has been quite the experience. It’s been a very hectic past couple weeks. Between midterms and homework, I feel like I’ve been going like crazy. Although…

We leave for Scotland in mere hours and I am not sure what emotions I’m supposed to have. I have never been out of the country, I have barely been out of the tri state area except on a few, rare occasions so no one emotion has hit me yet. I am excited to go…

This is my first time traveling by plane AND first time traveling out of the country, so naturally, I am a little nervous. Questions started rolling through my head… how do I pack this? what all do I need? what if I run out of clean socks? BUT guess what? All those questions get answered…

Being from a farming background, I was most excited about our cacao farm visits throughout the trip. On the first day, we visited a small cacao farmer, who made this beautiful arrangement for us out of cacao pods and cacao tree leaves. He showed us around his farm, and showed us a neighboring pineapple farm,…

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…
