I’m joined in my new adventure as Field Staff for GVI Manuel Antonio/Quepos by Maria and Elena. Maria is a GVI alumna from Mexico City. Today, she was so excited for each of Mexico’s goals in the World Cup that she stood on a bench in the house screaming in celebration. ¡Viva México! Elena is a communications audiovisual expert from Spain, but she has been living in Costa Rica for 3 years, so now she is media Tica. As for me, I’m the excited California native who is eager to share my sorority communal living experience as an example of cleanliness.  🙂 Together we make an awesome team! We can’t wait to finish our training this week and join the volunteers in the communities we will be working in this year. ¡Pura Vida!
