Thoughts from Archie Levis '17

Leaving Monteverde was a difficult experience for all of us. We all had created our own special connection with the various kindhearted families who offered us their homes. While each home stay was unique and different from the next, they were certainly different from our families back home. Each family seemed very content no matter how much or how little they had. The people of Monteverde were some of the most gracious and hospitable people I have ever met. Most importantly of all, though, is that the people were sincere and genuine. We have been very fortunate to experience such a staggering place, with people kind enough to match.
