I just landed in ATL and am headed back to Athens for a week of stressful finals. All I can think about it how much I would love to be back in Costa Rica with my class. It was one of the best experiences of my life and was certainly the most beautiful. The weather…

Every time I go to a friend´s house, party, or restaurant in America, a little worry always comes up in my head: “Will there be something for me to eat there?” As a vegetarian, I always face the problem of having trouble finding food to eat. I was scared upon coming to Costa Rica that I…

Today is the day I leave for Costa Rica, I can’t even believe it! When I signed up for the trip last Spring, I did not realize how quickly it would come around. Going to another country is always stressful with the packing process because of variant weather and endless general unknowns, but with the…

In less than a week, I will be leaving for Costa Rica to learn about coffee production and I could not be more excited! I will be arriving in Alajuela two days before the rest of the group…I figured I should make this most of this trip, right? I am a bit nervous about arriving…
