Pura Vida: Exploring Puriscal!

This weekend, my Costa Rican professor invited our class to explore her hometown of Puriscal, Costa Rica. We went along a river that winds through the mountains, and we got to swim through the lagoons and in the waterfalls. We learned how to make empanadas, tortillas and traditional coffee and we had the privilege of learning traditional Costa Rica dance. Here is a short video of the experience. All thinks to Gina Torres Calderón! ¡Que profa!

Hi I’m Navy! Welcome to the Photography Blog.

Navy's Profile

¡Buenas Días! Greetings from San José, Costa Rica! I am Navy Browning a sophomore at Valparaiso University and I would like to welcome you to the Photography Blog for Study Abroad at the Office of International Programs.

As a contributor, my aim is to illustrate my abroad experience through digital medial, primarily photography. I will be capturing people, places and “pura vida” (Costa Rican motto of pure life).  I would love to share my experience with everyone who has an interest in cross-cultural exchange and life living outside of the comfort zone.

I encourage you to both contact me with any questions or comments at navy.browning@valpo.edu and to learn about everything multicultural and international by visiting the Gandhi King Center on campus!

Shown here is a picture of me with my host family during my Summer 2013 volunteer work in the Dominican Republic.

Off to San José, Costa Rica!

Oh, the Places You'll Go.
