During June of 2017, myself & Tiffany Jothen traveled with 8 Westby students to Costa Rica and Nicaragua. We traveled through several airports to arrive in Central America, where we experienced and traveled through Costa Rica and Nicaragua by bus. This was an adventure based trip filled with lots of activity- hiking volcanoes and down to waterfalls, ziplining through canopies, kayaking then relaxing in hot springs, touring the islands of Lake Nicaragua by boat, and touring the historic city of Granada by horse drawn carriages. We learned about the countries main exports by touring coffee and cocoa plantations, we visited craft markets and memorable cafes and restaurants. Overall, our eyes were opened to a completely different way of life and economic status than we are used to seeing. It was an incredible experience filled with growth, excitement, awe and adventure.
