At this time tomorrow I will be in Costa Rica! It has been a long wait since I applied for the program several months ago, but the semester has flown by and departure is less than 24 hours away. Planning the final details of any international trip can be stressful, but thankfully CAES has done…

It is less than a day before I head off to Costa Rica and I have nothing packed. I’ve only ever traveled out of the country once when I was twelve and my mom did my packing for me, so I don’t consider myself a professional international packer. What’s the weather going to be like?…
