My first post

Hello all,

My name is Nathan Schmidt and I am seventeen years of age. Why do I want to go to Costa Rica? Well I want to go to Costa Rica because I like to volunteer my time by helping people. Also I want to go because I want to experience the world and see how much different it is then living in Pittsburgh. One last reason I want to go is because I want to have a life changing experience. What I hope to take away from this trip is new friendships with people I go with and the locals that I meet. Another thing I want to take away from this trip is to be a better spanish speaker.
