Winter Break 2020 Participant
My favorite part of the trip was the people I got to travel with. The group was full of people with different personalities and experiences, and I feel as though the people there changed my worldview as much as, if not more than, the experience of traveling abroad did. I had conversations with so many good, kind people that I would not have met otherwise, and made friends I've already seen multiple times now back in Lawrence. The three professors accompanying our trip were fun, knowledgeable, and cared for our fun and safety.

Winter Break 2024 Participant
We saw so many different parts of Costa Rica--beaches, cloud forests, stunning sunsets. We hiked up mountains, walked trails lined with coffee beans, and tasted cacao straight from the pods. It felt like we got to know Costa Rica because we saw so many different regions of the country--the Pacific and the Caribbean, the mountains and the rainforests.

My favorite part of the program was the people. I had not really found my people while at KU, but the people I met on this study abroad were the people I was looking for. I love the connections I made.
