Ever wondered what our students actually experience on a study abroad trip?

Costa Rica is always a favorite, especially the latest trip with six students and three faculty. From tasting raw termites to experiencing cultural ceremonies, our students immersed themselves in the rich tapestry of Costa Rican life and agriculture on their recent trip.

One highlight? The group spent time with the indigenous Bribri people seeing the cacao process, tasting it before it is chocolate and hand roasting the beans over fire with their bare hands. Everyone was then given the opportunity to grind the cacao beans into a powder and then a paste. In the end, it turned into hot chocolate that everyone tasted. This experience gave the students a look at a multi-generational effort in production.

Witnessing regenerative agriculture practices, their trip was nothing short of extraordinary. Read more about it at news.northeast.edu/3b24a4
