My Travel Story

Hello friends and family! I have recently been accepted into a study abroad trip to Costa Rica that will be happening from March 3, 2018-March 11, 2018.
I am very excited about this program because I have not had many opportunities to travel and have never been out of the country.
This trip will be incredibly beneficial as it will go towards my education, professional, and personal development. 
My travel group will be working towards implementing more sustainable solutions in the realms of agriculture, tourism, and energy while being immersed in the culture of Cost Rica! 
Any help you can give to me would be greatly appreciated, and, hey! The trip falls on my birthday, so there's no need to wonder what a great present would be!

  • UPDATE 2/5/18: Almost There!

    There is now less than a month until I depart for Costa Rica! I wanted to thank those of you who have already donated to my campaign. Your generosity means so much to me and it has been a great help.

    Right now I am doing online shopping for all of the water-proof clothing items I will need in the rainforest. My list includes hiking shoes, waterproof hiking sandals, a raincoat, and nylon pants to name a few.

    If you could help me in any way it would mean the world to me!

    Hello friends and family! I am currently doing some research on Costa Rica to make sure I am well-versed in the culture and customs. I have also started looking into suggested items to pack and I am realizing that I am WILDLY UNPREPARED! I am going to need hiking boots, a raincoat, a good pocket knife, new sunglasses, a fanny pack, and many more things that a homebody like me has never owned before. If you have any good suggestions on retailers or other items I might need PLEASE let me know. I can use all the help I can get!
