Hey guys!
Until today, I hadn't planned or wanted to keep a blog while living abroad for the next 6 months, especially since I'm not bringing my laptop with me. However, I know that there are a lot of you who want to stay updated so I finally broke down and set this up... I'm not sure how often I'll have access to the internet but we'll see how it goes!
For everyone who doesn't know, I'm volunteering through a program called United Planet (www.unitedplanet.org) which sends volunteers from the US and Canada all over the world. I'll be living with a host family in Coronado de Osa, a town in the province of Puntarenas, and working at the local Centro de Nutrición y Desarrollo Infantil, a daycare center which provides food and preschool education to children from low-income families.
I leave one week from today! It's crazy how the summer has flown by but I'm far past excited to leave. Just crossing my fingers that the Costa Rican consulate sends my authenticated background check in time so that I can get my visa!
I still need to buy bug spray, too.
