Guess who's going to Managua, Nicaragua this coming Spring Break!? This girl!
I'm so so excited to go to Central America! I've been to Mexico and Belize a few times, but to go even further South just excites me. Nicaragua is known for their "volcanoes and lakes."
I will be going to Nicaragua through MSU's Alternative Spring Break, which is a service-oriented organization that goes to over 20 locations both domestic and international to provide service to others in a variety of different categories! I will be working in the "housing" category, building for the underprivileged! We get one free day and I can hardly wait to go ziplining and hiking, and climb a volcano eeEEEeee!!
You're going to have a BRILLIANT time. Our Nicaragua is the World's best kept secret. People are terrified to come here because of crime, but I can tell you this - you're safer here than in the USA. Petty theft crime rates are high, so be wise... Also, be careful with taxis and on public transport... If you heed my advice, then that's the most you'll need to worry about.
ReplyDeleteTourism is an unknown commodity here in Nicaragua, so things are cheap. They have untouched mountains, volcanoes, beaches, forests, cities, etc. The people are unbelievably beautiful, just be respectful of their naivity - don't teach them the wrong way, be good to them...
If you need any support whilst you're here, we're available...
God bless,
