This whole experience in Costa Rica has been so surreal. I keep asking myself "Am I really in Costa Rica?". Staying at the La Selva Biological Research Station and meeting Scientists like Dr. Carlos De La Rosa has Given me a new outlook on what it is like to live in the rainforest full time. Together we experienced waking up at 5 am, living in the humidity, Being away from technology, enjoying pitch black night walks, living in cabins with insects, showering in freezing cold water, sweating every minute, and working / studying for 16 hours per day. This was all amazing to me and an experience that is completely different from anything I have experienced before. Study abroad to Costa Rica has truly opened my eyes.




Daniel, I love your descriptive writing! I can almost feel being in the rainforest from your words. Thanks for all your hard work from 5am until midnight and for your engagement and good attitude!
