How Many Global Works trips have you traveled on?
More than I can count!
Where have you traveled with Global Works?
Costa Rica, Panama, Spain
What is the favorite place you have visited on a GW program?
It’s hard to name just one favorite place! For homestay, I’d say the FES (Fundación Escuela de Solidaridad) in Granada, Spain because of the incredibly warm community and shared mission. And I can’t leave out Poco Sol in Costa Rica. I love the views and feel of the cloud forest! And how do you beat Kuna Yala in Panama!?
What can you not live with out on a trip?
A headlamp! And coffee. Mucho café.
What is your favorite GW memory?
Sitting in a circle on Nubesidub (a small island in the Kuna Yala community of Panama) with the moonlight and water surrounding us. The students led a great discussion and it was awesome to see them come together as group.
What do you do when you are not traveling with Global Works?
I am a Spanish teacher at Denver East High School. Go Angels!
What is your secret talent?
Handstands are my favorite!
Where do you want to travel to next?
New Zealand and Colombia
