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…

So far, this experience has been one that I will never forget. In addition to honing my traveling skills (learning tidbits of Italian, getting hopelessly lost in Rome, taking walking tours through London, navigating the complicated Paris streets), I have also used the garden knowledge I have acquired to begin thinking about my own future…

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…

When my mind wanders back to Romania, I find it daunting to try describing all of my experiences in a few hundred words. Summarizing the two weeks we spent touring the country seems far too impossible. However, I’ve often found myself spouting off random bits of information about the people and places in a faraway…

I am back in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is strange to be here again and settle into the normalcy and the hum of daily life here. It’s funny how the world doesn’t stop moving when you are away. You come back and everyone has continued living,…

“So..did you get homesick?” My Mom posed this question this morning over breakfast and coffee. I’ve been home for about five days now and yet it still feels like we haven’t talked about my trip enough. She’s sure there are pictures that I haven’t shown her and stories that I haven’t told her. I took…
