In fact, it is the only country in Central America that does not have a coastline on the Caribbean Sea. El Salvador is a Spanish-speaking country in South America, and this is the country I will be traveling to. El Salvador is the most misunderstood country of them all. Some people say that it is quite dangerous while others say it’s quite boring compared to the rest of Central America. Most visitors say El Salvador is not safe and this is because the lack of mass tourism equals lack of information. This is the reason I chose El Salvador to travel to. This vibrant nation is very tropical with rich forests and fertile farmlands. From Volcanoes and crater lakes to surfing and Wildlife, it’s filled to the top with so many things to do! El Salvador has so many things to offer and I am eager to explore it.

Costa Rica is a very beautiful and unique place. It was my first time going there and I loved it! It was much different than the United States in ways I didn’t mind or even enjoyed. We saw many things and went many places while we were down there. I am ready to go back again already and do new, exciting things. However, we did a lot while we were down there.

In my travels of the world I have found myself immersed in many cultures and varieties of ethnicity; I have been very fortunate to live in a day and age where such communication and experience is possible in one lifetime. I have seen La Cathedral de Notre Dame, the Statue of Liberty, the home of Da Vinci, and so many more wonderfully spiritual and historic monuments. Yet still I can say with the utmost certainty that no location has left such a lasting impact on my soul as the quaint, simple country of Costa Rica. Although many places have penetrated me with a sense of what the majestic earth and her inhabitants are capable of and have forced me to question whether or not anything is beyond the grasp of human ingenuity, none have brought

My first awakening in a place that is not my home felt just right. My eyes were drowning in the beautiful view of the mountains while I inhaled the purest air on Earth. After eating a delicious breakfast, the mission began. A hike to the source of uncontaminated water that would provide the Las Rosas community access to clean water and sanitation. Following nine days of carrying and placing pipes, mixing cement, and building a water tank, Water Day had arrived. I was in Las Rosas, Dominican Republic, living one of the most wonderful and joyful moments of my life. I was seeing the children and the volunteers getting completely soaked with the water that was rushing out of the pipes. I was getting emotional when I saw Mami (one of the resident

I recently made a trip to Colombia about a few weeks ago. The day I stepped back onto American soil, I never looked at my life the same. The one aspect that has changed me and has impressed me more than anything, is how different people are treated in one country verse another. My experience in Colombia was an amazing one that I will never forget. There I was treated like an actual person, I was not judged by the way I looked, nor the way I dressed. Every corner I turned, everywhere I went some one was there to greet me. I had a conversation with a lady that owned a restaurant in the same house she lived it. It wasn’t much that she had, but she was the most charismatic, optimistic person I have ever met. She explained to me how her family has

A journey to Costa Rica was music to my freshman ears. My eagerness to explore, and the thought that any teacher would offer another opportunity like this again, drove me to attend every informational meeting and see through that I embark on this trip. Unfortunately, my craving for adventure was left unsatisfied due to financial problems and the wait for another chance to explore the world began. It was my junior year when that window of opportunity appeared again. With my eyes set on Global Glimpse, I dragged my parents to the information meeting in order to convince them to allow me to embark on the once in a lifetime journey. The program was a remarkable movement to encourage the new generation of leaders to experience firsthand life in
