Personal Narrative: My Trip To Costa Rica
I never been out the country before and having the opportunity to go Costa Rica was the most exciting experience ever. I was nervous at first about going because I had some distracting effects affecting me but, once I refocused on my future I was really eager about going I felt I needed the break. I was really looking forward to eating great meals, learning all that I can, and sightseeing. We did plenty of sightseeing every city we visited even if it was only for a few hours there was something to see and be amazed by. The simplest things I saw was amazing from flowers, insects, buildings, the ticos (Costa Ricans), and even the roads. One thing that really stood out to me was in Costa Rica was that they had so many friendly straw perros (dogs). …show more content…
Although our culture is very different in Costa Rica their straw dogs wouldn’t even bat an eye lash at you. They would just simply walk up to you and sniff you or sit by you or even stand in front of you begging for food they would even let you pet them. That was a very intense experience I was truly amazed. What made this trip striking for me was getting a chance to see all the remarkable land marks and cities. We visited five different cities Monteverde, Nicoya, Samara, Guanacasta, and Nosarita. I didn’t have a favorite city I liked everywhere we visited. Every city had something good to offer food, shopping, and very great

    The rich cultural and the many amazing traits that Costa Rica had in store for us, was only a symbol of the cultural and traits that fall within our team. It seems hard to believe that a country like Costa Rica and a small college soccer team can have so much in common, but along the trip I realized that in a lot of ways, we are the same. Reading the “Ticos” book could only teach each of us so much about Costa Rica and the Ticos that live there because it only mentioned “on the surface” facts that were pretty straight forward; It wasn’t until the trip, when we were able to delve into the culture itself and really understand what the book was saying. Costa Rica didn’t just…

    The line sounded rehearsed, as if he had spoken these words multiple times a day for many years. His glossy brown eyes penetrated my startled blue ones for as long as I let them until I turned away. His dirtied innocent face was one that came straight out of a UNICEF commercial, the sort that caught you off guard during a commercial break of your favorite TV show. Wistful faces of impoverished children flick before your eyes as a concerned voice insists that if you donate your unused pocket change every month, you could support the life of this poor boy.…

    Throughout my life I’ve been fortunate enough to travel outside of the country to Puerto Penasco multiple times. In the first trips I never thought about the people or the conditions surrounding the place I was traveling to. I was naïve and unable to understand my surroundings. However, as I matured the way I viewed Puerto Penasco changed as did my worldly perspective. I was able to understand the divide of wealth in Mexico, how the drug trade is affecting those who don’t want anything to do with it, the beautiful culture and people of Puerto Penasco and how U.S.A is benefiting and improving this amazing country.…

    I came to the United States from Colombia when I was just 3 years old. I was brought into the country of bright opportunities because like every other parent, my mother and father wanted what was best for me. My mother had to give up her dream job in Colombia, which was being an accountant for an essentially important company, in order to facilitate my well-being and open up the doors for my future. As the years progressed, I began to acquire both languages, English and Spanish, but there was a point where I became tongue tied and had to assist in speech therapy. My parents would talk to me in Spanish at home but in school all I would hear was English, my mind was extremely confused to the point that I made my own language by using both tongues in one sentence.…

    Imagine starting a race twenty minutes after the other participant, this gives them a head start hence lowering your chances to vanquish your opponents in the race. This example applies to real-life issues like the people born in high and stable economic situations. Their probability to succeed in life is higher than those indigenous from third-world countries. Panama faces this problem and I have no doubt a change can be achieved and I can be the one who does it because everyone deserves the chance to succeed if they try hard. During last year, I had the chance to be elected as coach and teach a group of teenage boys, the fundamentals of soccer; what I did not realize was that this experience was going to change me completely.…

    I would like to say I know Spanish, after four years of studying in high school and multiple trips to South and Central America, yet it seems every time I leave the States, I find myself in a frantic struggle to process the words I know and figure out the meanings of the ones I do not. Sometimes this simply means missing out on a few insignificant details, other times it can seriously complicate life.…

    The Dominican Republic, known for its beautiful beaches and balmy weather, was the last place I ever imagined I would find myself in this past summer vacation. On this week long trip, it wasn't for the warm ocean waves or the traditional Dominican cuisine I was called to, I was called to serve the beautiful Dominican people. On the third day of the trip, instead of heading out to the worksite where we had been pouring the concrete footers of a plastics and water filter factory, I opted to travel with a group to the childrens' cancer ward in Santiago and visit the patients. We started out our visit by performing a few dances we had taught our vacation bible school and handing out fun little gift we had brought with us. We played ball with some…

    Costa Rica Essay

    Costa Rica and the United States of America get along quite well. Of course there has been a few bump in the road but nothing bad enough to make us hostile. We are good friends because we help each other out by buying each others products and such. Costa Rica and its relations with other countries are exquisite right now. They have been apart of the international community and have been neutral to most countries for quite some time. Of course it may be hostile to a few countries but everyone seems to have enemies. This country is said to be very beautiful so if I had the time I would gladly visit it and spend a few days on the beach. Things are cheap there and I can be cheap so it would work out great. This country is a very beautiful country that makes its money off of very natural things and I…

    Secondly, I love traveling to other countries. I love visiting new places because I can experience different cultures and meet different people who I wouldn't normally get to meet. When I go abroad, I really get the feeling that I'm living in a big world and that all my worries are so small and pointless. It would be great to go to a country I have never been to before. I've heard from many people who've been to Europe that Barcelona was the best place they'd ever visited. Barcelona is a city that has beautiful beaches and is known for having sunny and clear weather, so if I had a chance of going to any country I wanted to, I'd choose Barcelona as my ideal vacation location.…
