Program Reflections
Growing, adapting and embracing the Pura Vida mentality
The time I spent in Costa Rica in the summer of 2014 was the best experience I have ever had in my life. Not only was I able to explore a new culture and embrace the Costa Rican lifestyle and get some relaxing vacation time, I was […]
Bridges We Have Built
After spending 3 weeks in Cambodia, the ride from the hostel to the airport was a whirlwind of emotions. Time has flown by, but my feelings during this ride on the first night I arrived compared to now have completely changed. I not only see the […]
