My Travel Story

by: Kendall Ferguson Start Date: Nov 27, 2022 - End Date: Mar 26, 2023
Hello! My name is Kendall Ferguson and I'm a student at Oklahoma State University. Next spring break, I am hoping to study abroad in Costa Rica to learn about the culture and to practice my travel/personal skills. The course that goes along with this trip is EDHS 2080 (Developing Intercultural Competency through International Travel). I will be traveling with the College of Education and Human Sciences. The goal of this trip is to "develop self-awareness and understanding of the culture on behavior, values, and beliefs". This will be my very first time out of the country, and I'm beyond excited to experience a different culture. During my time here, I am going to meet many people, engage, and learn. This trip is very meaningful to me because I have a passion to travel while I'm young! The next few years are never promised, so I'm being bold and following my dreams! During this trip, we will travel to San Jose, Tortuguero, Sarapiqui Region, Arenal Region, and Guanacaste. I will be experiencing the beautiful rainforest and nature creations that God has given! Overall, I hope to learn more about interacting with people who are the same and different than me, and cannot wait until march!
