Hello! My name is Daniela Randolph, and for the next four months, I will be studying in Costa Rica. During this time, I will get to learn so much and I get to share it with you.
One thing about me is that I absolutely love animals and would love to be a veterinarian one day. However, being a veterinarian is far more than just animals; it requires connecting with people as well. A big part of this is connecting with people from different cultures. That is what pushed me to study abroad in Costa Rica! The information I will learn about the tico culture, and also working on my Spanish, will help me become a better veterinarian.
I am also part Mexican from my mom's side. Studying abroad allows me to learn the similarities and differences between my Mexican culture and the Tico culture. This has led to a lot of things that have surprised me that I get to share with you! Welcome to my journey, where together our knowledge will grow.
