cre: How Coffee is Made I am a heavy coffee drinker so when I found out I was going to have the chance to learn how coffee is made I was more than happy. Costa Rica has a large market for coffee and there are coffee plantations in many parts of the country. The place where the richest coffee is said to come from an area called Los Santos. Los Santos is in the highlands, which is much cooler than the lowlands. In Los Santos, around 90% of the population depends on income from coffee production, so coffee is very important to the community here. The cooler air allows the coffee to grow better than when the coffee plants are in constant heat. As the lowlands are warmer, everything happens faster, and you could say that the process is almost rushed. Another reason why the highlands are better is that climate change affects the flowering process of coffee plants where it is too hot. We took a coffee tour this week to learn about different methods of growing and brewing coffee. It wa...

cre: 九 | Thailand Part 1 October 1, 2016 I’m not sure the next time I get to this hemisphere, so I’ll try to maximize my travel here. Sounds pretty expensive, yes I’m far from rich, but the trips are surprisingly really manageable. Well, for my part, I’m closer to places like Thailand, Mainland China, Japan (all on my wishlist) so the flights are cheaper than what you’ll see from the US. Second, I use my student status and take advantage of websites like Student Universe that offer student discounted fares for flights. Third, the accommodation is not expensive either. Whether you are a heavy Airbnb user or prefer the comfort of a hotel, the rates are quite reasonable in the places I have visited. It’s even better if you’re traveling with a friend or two to share that cost. You just need to plan well and stick to your budget. In short, yes I am currently in Thailand! To be exact, I’m writing this sitting on a tour bus with a group of travelers, headphones listening to “A Seat at...

cre: Volcano Time! For this weekend, we decided to keep a low profile and take a break between long walks and weekend trips. We decided to go to the Poás volcano for the day. But before that, I want to share some things I did during the week. After a long week, Tara, Allison, Julie and I went to do yoga at ULatina. There are a lot of group activities that the university offers, such as zumba, dancing, music, self-defense, etc. We didn’t even have to bring our own yoga which was lovely.
