La Casa Ohm-arilla
Today we embarked on a mission to tour the city of San José. Unlike our previous ventures where we boarded our private and luxurious tour bus, this time we tried something new, public transportation. On the way to the country’s capital we took the train and on the way back we took the bus. Both…

Ohm Man, Going Crazy for Chocolate
Today, we had a later start and an earlier finish to our day, so we had a load of free time for us. We started the day at about 9:30 heading to a lesson on the history of chocolate and a chocolate tasting at Sibu Chocolate, a farm for chocolates. The presenter was hilarious, he…
Ayudando a la COHMunidad
Day 6 of our venture started in Monteverde and ended back in Heredia. We had a similar buffet style breakfast as yesterday. After, we went on what I think was the best part of this trip so far, a service project where we painted a fence at a local school. It was amazing to see…

No Ohm’s, all H2O
Today we went on an excursion through the Doka Estate and had a coffee and plantation tour. We had some samples of their chocolate and coffee. I also had a sample of the second hottest hot sauce that they had at the gift shop. It felt like my tongue was on fire (I also got…
Ohm Sweet Home(stay)
The first 15 hours or so in Costa Rica presented a good bit of activities and a phenomenal mother for our homestay. Our homestay mom’s name is Maria and she is extremely kind. One thing that I knew before coming onto this trip is that we were going to be fed a TON of food….
Coasting for Coffee
Costa Rica is one of the top countries in the world for global environmental sustainability consistently ranking in the top 20 (World Energy Council). Their initiatives are remarkable knowing that they are a relatively small Latin American country. A couple that enticed me when researching was the amount of waste that they recycle and their…
