Weekend Trip to Busan: Part 2
Bus to Busan: the sequel! As I mentioned on my last blog post, my friend and I spent a weekend at Busan with the main focus of attending a Stray Kids event! To recap, we left our apartment in Sindang at around 9AM and bused to the Seoul Express Bus Terminal. From there, we bought ...
Reflecting On My Experience
I truly cannot believe that it’s come to the end of my study abroad. The Healthcare in Latin America program was absolutely amazing, and I am going to miss Costa Rica and all of the experiences that I’ve had while I was here. There are many things that I am going to miss. I’m going ...
Airport of your dreams
March 4, 2019 I’m so glad that I don’t have classes on this Monday morning, since it’s recess week! Next week I have midterms but I already studied ahead of time because today I am going to the airport to pick up my boyfriend! I have a pretty busy week with many sightseeing opportunities but ...
Strangers Building Strong Friendships
Living abroad for a couple of months to go to school is an experience that not a lot of people have. Studying abroad involves discovering a new place, exploring, learning, and meeting new people. Study abroad is an amazing opportunity, and the relationships and friendships that are created so quickly are one of the reasons ...
Ways to Cope With Feeling Homesick
One of the scariest parts about studying abroad for many people is being away from family and friends for an extended period of time. I think that people are afraid of FOMO (fear of missing out), and miss their normal routine. Being abroad before I’ve learned what to do when I am especially missing home ...

Weekend Trips!
I think one of the most exciting aspects about this experience in Costa Rica has been exploring Costa Rica’s diverse travel destinations. Almost every weekend we go to a different part of the country. Now, I’ve been in all seven provinces at least once. Some places that I have been to include Jacó, Puerto Viejo, ...
Night Life: Myeongdong!
The secret to a travel-filled study abroad experience? Try stacking most of your classes in two or three days weekly. With that being said, stacking classes is easier said than done, especially when you’re abroad. Language barriers, difficulty getting into classes, potential class overlaps, and Drexel equivalents are all factors that can make it hard ...
Healthcare in Costa Rica
During my time here I’ve learned a lot about the healthcare system in Costa Rica. Costa Rica has universal healthcare for everyone, but this doesn’t mean that healthcare is free like some people believe. In reality the majority of healthcare is paid for by the taxes of working people. It is a system of solidarity, ...
C is for Costa Rica!
Word of the week: “Creer” or “to believe” Pictured above is the Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels in Cartago, which is right outside of San Jose. This Sacred Landmark is one of Costa Rica’s architectural gems. It is not only a place of worship for locals, but a historic site for tourists to ...
