So I’m writing this almost exactly a week after we arrived back in the US and must I say I miss it already. This trip was my first experience studying abroad with UGA and I’m so glad I did it. It was an eye opening experience where I learned and I had a great time while doing it. For the 10 day stay I feel as though I have learned 100 times the knowledge. For example\u00a0I found a new love and appreciation for coffee. I also feel spoiled because I got to drink the worlds 3rd<\/sup> best quality of coffee, being able to wake up on campus and walk to the dinning hall and drink this morning to night. \u00a0As a consumer purchasing a bag of coffee from the store the story of the farmer who brought the bean to become this amazing drink we know as coffee, isn\u2019t common knowledge. Without this trip I wouldn\u2019t have this perspective of all the effort the farmer puts into these little beans.\u00a0This coffee bean to cup trip adds to my life experience list as I have another abroad trip under my belt. It\u2019s a once in a life time experience, where I got to study something I love like coffee in a beautiful place like Costa Rica and all the while get college credits for completing it. This is something that is hard to accomplish when visiting another country as a tourist with your family with out the connections like UGA Costa Rica. For example all of the intimate trips to the local farms would not be an option as a tourist. Then being able to see coffee production small\u00a0and large scale, we were able to learn the processes like cleaning, drying, and roasting both ways. This made me relize how little I knew about coffee before this trip, so much as I didn’t even know it was a cherry. Im very grateful that I had this opportunity to travel and see a different part of the world. I would recommend this trip to anyone that is seeking to gain knowledge about coffee, friendships, and overall travel experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
