Meagan Hughes- May 27, 2013


Being in Costa Rica has been an exciting experience, and I am sad to say that the end is in sight.  In just a few days we will be headed back the Indiana, but with us we will bring unforgettable memories, friendships, and lessons learned that will stay with us from these three weeks spent in Costa Rica.  

My name is Meagan Hughes and I am going to be a sophomore at Purdue University in the fall.  I am studying Computer Graphics Technology with a minor in Art/Design.  Coming to Costa Rica was one of the best decisions I have made.  I have improved my Spanish skills, adapted to a new culture, tried some amazing food, made lasting friendships, and I now have a great resume booster!

We have definitely had our share of unique experiences while here in Costa Rica.  The first things that come to my mind are: going to the beach in Cauhita, touring the market in San Jose, visiting Irazu volcano, and experiencing a minor earthquake!  My favorite part was this past weekend at Monteverde.  We stayed at an amazing hotel that overlooked the mountains and spent the day zip-lining through the cloud forest.  The zip-lining was incredible and you couldn’t ask for a better way to see the wild life.  We also tried out the Tarzan swing, which was scary but definitely worth it!  

Pura Vida!
