If you’ve ever been to Costa Rica, you will know that this Central American country is famous for its volcanoes (as well as its beaches, climate, and food - but that’s a subject for another time!).
In Costa Rica, there are over two hundred volcanic formations, some dating back sixty-five million years, with at least one hundred volcanoes commonly listed and six which are considered active.

Central America is a hop, skip and a jump away from the United States. It’s that kind of access I want my students to know. It’s that possibility and ability of choice that can help make travel happen. Places become more than dots on a map - they become memories. Accents are not solely other languages or sounds fumbled through in high school - they become conversations with new friends. Customs are not only cultural artifacts in a classroom or answers to a standardized test - they are embraced, honoured and learned in an adventure-filled afternoon.
