Bonjour tout de monde!

My first week in Rio has been very exciting. It has brought new people who are all incredibly unique. It has brought some of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen. And it has brought a new way of daily life. All of these things I am sure I will learn more about as the weeks go by.

My apologies for not posting in a while! With my internship starting and my Italian language course picking up speed, it’s been hard to find extra time where I’m not either sleeping or eating. I wanted to wait a little further in to do this post, but I have been compiling it over my past three weeks here. So, without further ado: My Milan Musts!

Must Eats!

I can’t believe the end of semester is approaching.  It’s so weird to think that I’ve been here for 4 months now.  I’ve gotten so used to living here and am really going to miss it when I go home.

For my two interest courses, rock climbing and kayaking, we went on end of semester field trips that were absolutely amazing.

I have been back in the United States for two weeks since leaving Costa Rica at the end of May, but it already feels like forever. Since I am from Atlanta, my four hour flight didn’t give me much time to reflect, but my 13 hour drive back to my school in Maryland gave me plenty of time. So here is a list of the very best of Costa Rica and the US!

Things I miss about Costa Rica:

As the end of my stay in Cape Town comes to an end, I realize that there are still so many things that I have to knock off my bucket list. Fortunately, my lovely friends and I were able to cross off two of those remaining bucket list items including go to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and walk on the newly constructed treetop canopy, and also go to high tea at the Mount Nelson Hotel in downtown Cape Town.
