currently in Costa Rica
I've been posting about my travels abroad on my personal journal and I just figured maybe someone out there in livejournal-land might be thinking about either studying abroad or traveling to Costa Rica. I'm studying at the Conversa Institute in Santa Ana (right outside the capital, San Jose). This is my second trip - the first time I stayed for one month, this time I'm taking classes for 2 weeks and traveling for 1 week. But anyway, if you're interested, you can friend my journal or read the below posts. Next weekend I'll probably go to either the national park Manuel Antonio or the Arenal Volcano. And the following week, my sister and I will most likely be staying in various hotels along the pacific coast.
Pre-trip worries After a few days
First weekend trip: Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean coast
I also spent a semester in Chile in fall of 2008. My adventures & misadventures are posted on heatherinchile if you're interested in reading them, though you'll have to go back maybe 3 pages to start from the beginning.
x-posted to a few places; sorry if you get this more than once
