After traveling to Nicaragua for the month of August, there’s a lot I learned. I worked on a school, traveled to cities all over Nicaragua, and experienced a foreign country. I even went with twenty-two strangers that I would soon get to know as if they were my siblings! Here are ten things I learned throughout it all.
- The beauty of a cold shower, especially when there is no hot water.
- You can always know more about a person.
- First impressions and judgments are never entirely correct.
- Long-term happiness is not found in material items.
- Fulfillment and long-term happiness are found in the people you surround yourself with.
- Laughter is the best medicine.
- Rarely will you regret being kind.
- Nothing’s more powerful than real world experience.
- A smile doesn’t have a language.
- Perspective is key.
