Why did you choose to study or intern abroad?
I chose to study abroad in Costa Rica because of the climate and environment I'd surround myself with. I'm an outdoorsy person and like to be as sustainable as possible. Because Costa Rica is one of the leaders in this, I want to gain more exposure to what it's like to live this life.
WhAT IS ONE NEW EXPERIENCE YOU'RE HOPING TO HAVE WHILE ABROAD?
I'm hoping to learn about the culture and diversity that comes with not just San José but also the surrounding areas. The climate is what drew me to the program, so I want to explore lots and meet new people.
What CLASS ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING while ABROAD?
I'm most looking forward to the sustainability classes and entrepreneurship classes. I've grown to appreciate living a healthy life and want to continue learning about it. I'm minoring in entrepreneurship so I'm looking to strengthen my understanding of what it means to run a business and the research behind it.
WHAT IS SOMETHING you're passionate and excited about?
I'm excited to be in the university I'm attending and surround myself with locals. It looks like a creative school and that's exactly what I've been looking for so I'm excited to learn from the professors and gain more knowledge into the Pura Vida life. I also love to go to markets and can't wait to spend time outside, going on hikes, and being in the water.
