Studying Abroad in Costa Rica was filled with so many eye opening and diverse learning opportunities. We met people from differing backgrounds eager to share their beautiful lives with us. When meeting a kind man from the BriBri indigenous community we shared humor and laughs, sympathy and compassion that transcended our language barrier into life long bonds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did I gain perspective for our differences between us, I also gained enlightening appreciation for all our similarities. The excitement cultural food can bring after a day’s hike through rich mountains, smiles exchanged over the joy of shared knowledge of one’s home- all led me to love what I had learned and care more for what I had. Such moments shared though newly found family abroad will be an experience never easily forgotten.
