Hola people, Pura Vida!

 

From June I will be moving in Costa Rica to work in the national team of AIESEC. I like to define Costa Rica as "the country with a smile on its face!" and AIESEC a place that truly changed my life.


You know about the importance of loving what you do and doing what you love, and for me being in AIESEC is something that makes me truly happy and fulfilled. My story started in 2013 when I was in a volunteering exchange with AIESEC, an experience where I've learned about my values, dreams and passions. Since I've came back from that internship, I wanted to give to other young people the same kind of experience like mine, because I know how much it helped me to grow. Even now I feel that being part of this organization gives me the opportunity to help others develop, while I am developing myself as well. This is why now I took the chance to continue my experience 10.000 kilometers from home.

 

I am a truly curious person, full of imagination and ready to discover the world. Right now I have this chance by going for one entire year in this amazing country of Central America. I am sure it will be the experience of my life (until now), where I will be challenged and provoked to discover my limits and overcome them. More than this, I will have the opportunity to continue having an impact in the world and  people around me.

 

"Pura Vida" means Pure Life and it describes the way Ticos live their life in Costa Rica. A place where people are in peace and harmony,  generous and caring with others and where they enjoy every single day of their life, with good and bad. Pura Vida means living without any stress and seize the moment. It sounds like me, right? And isn't it amazing when you find a place that fits your personality that much?

 

This is why I feel so excited to have the opportunity to spend one entire year there. An year where I will make new friends, learn Spanish, get to know about Latin America's culture, explore my limits, have an impact in the world and make memories for life.

 

If you didn't hear until now about this country, here are only a few things you should know:

1. Costa Rica dissolved its national army in 1948;

2. It has one of the highest life expediencies in the world;

3. It is home to 4 UNESCO world heritage sites and more than 5 percent of the world's biodiversity;

4. The country ranks number one in the happy planet index;

5. Its residents are called Ticos and Ticas.

 

Amazing, right?!?

 

Since I was a kid I was a big dreamer and a big fighter for my dreams. This experience is right now the dream I am fighting for. I believe that you have to be crazy enough to change the world, but you also need crazy people to believe in your power to do so. This is why I need your help in order to make it happen.

 

If you like my story and you are crazy enough in believing in my dream, I can only say that I would be truly thankful. Gracias! :)

 

If you were curious, the money will cover the following: flight ticket, visa expenses, medical insurance, living costs until receiving the first salary. 

 

P.S: My parents are awesome and are always supporting me in achieving my dreams, but our financial situation right now makes it hard to cover all the expenses. This is why for me every single amount of money is enormously valuable! :)
