Nicaragua Missions 2018

Thank you everyone who purchased a tshirt to support my trip to Nicaragua this year! With the money raised, Carlos and I were able to give to several people and I wanted to share about how your finances helped!

Twenty-Three

     Today I am 23 years old, emphasis on the old. I know I'm not old, but I feel old and I can't really put my finger onto why I feel so old. But here I am, 23 and still figuring out life. But really, who isn't? I've been through a lot of change this …

Gringa Turned Nica

Today marks one year of me being in Nicaragua! It's so crazy to think that a year has already flown by! It feels like yesterday. One of my friends celebrated her two years this week and I liked what she said about her experience here in Nicaragua: "Some days, it's hard to wrap my mind …

Yay for May!

Can you believe that it's already May?! I can't! 2017 has flown by, this whole last year has. I couldn't be more excited for this month for so many reasons. For starters, Carlos got a job at the beach this weekend, so sand and sun here we come. It will be the first time that …

Why What I Do Matters

Big News.... Yesterday I traveled on a microbus from the terrifying bus terminal in Managua to another city BY MYSELF!  I was having severe anxiety the 12 hours before I got on the bus, and at one point even on the bus because, even though I clearly saw it marked on the bus, I was …

Only in Nicaragua

Living as a foreigner in a country allows you to pick up on the "unusual" events that happen in that country that don't normally happen in your home country.  It is safe to say that I encounter these "unusual" events on the reg. Welcome to my first post of "Only in Nicaragua" where I will …
