Cachai?: Valparaiso
“The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts” – Marcus Aurelius Welcome to the vibrant city of Valparaiso. Almost as if a giant paint can had fallen out of the sky and splattered over each building, crack, and alleyway, the city shines with life. I decided to finally dedicate a weekend to this ...
Adiós Filadelfia, Hola Costa Rica!
I have been living in Costa for a few days now and all I can tell you is that it has been amazing. After a long delayed flight, I have finally arrived in the sunny Costa Rica. I traveled with two other girls who are also in the ICDS program and we met up with Lulu, ...
