Ashleigh C Pulaski, Winter Break 2017 Participant
My favorite part of the Travel Writing in Costa Rica program was all of the wonderful friends I made throughout the couple weeks we were there. Together, my new friends and I explored new places, tried new foods, zip lined over the trees, and went rafting in level 3 waters.

The diversity of the program is wonderful. We encounter so much in terms of different environments and people. I never would have imagined that I was going to experience as much as I did. I didn't feel like an annoying tourist, I felt like a welcome explorer.

I think it is important to go on a small, short-term trip like this program prior to committing to a semester-long study abroad, especially if you are interested in studying abroad. I believe it is important because I thought I wanted to study abroad for a semester, but realized that I don't think I would be able to be away from family and friends for that long. Through other programs at KU, you can get the study abroad feeling, traveling, and exploration all while not being away from family for too long.
