International travel is one of my biggest passions. I love to experience other cultures and ways of life. Within the past couple of years my passion has been centered around Central and South America. The people are warm, hospitable, and the food is exciting. In 2009 I went to Peru, visiting Machu Piccu, Lima & Cuzco. In less than three months I will be traveling to Argentina to spend some in the capital city Buenos Aires and wine country of Mendoza.

Being the planner I am, I’m already planning next year’s trip, which will be to Costa Rica. It will be one of many fact-finding trips to the region, since I am considering living abroad for a few years after I finish grad school in Washington DC. I’ve already picked up several books and read them cover to cover. Now I’m seeking out blogs on Costa Rica, Panama, or Central America in general. If you know of any, please do pass them on!
