Time to Begin Packing!

Sunscreen - CHECK! Binoculars - CHECK! Hiking shoes - CHECK! Curious expectations - CHECK! ...Today was the last day of finals at Otterbein so the packing begins for our two weeks in the tropical country of Costa Rica!

Our class has spent the last 10 weeks studying 3 main topics which we will focus on throughout our trip: Culture, Business, and Biology. This "Senior Year Experience" course is part of our integrative studies program here at Otterbein and is an integral part of our well-rounded education.

We fly out of Columbus on Monday November 30 and will return on Sunday December 13. Everyone is anticipating our time in Costa Rica and we are looking forward to returning with a much better understanding of the Costa Rican culture, the plant and animal species, business operations and a first hand experience with a developing country.

We hope you can follow our blog throughout our Latin American adventure and hope to hear from you all!

Pictures coming soon, we will update as frequently as possible!
