You better BELIZE I loved the Archer Abroad Trip
Hiking through the rainforest to different waterfalls, staying on a research island and going snorkeling everyday are just some of the activities that I participated in on the Archer Abroad trip to Belize. The trip took place during the second week of spring break. I was fortunate enough to go on the trip, and I had such an incredible experience. Here are the top 10 reasons why I loved going to Belize.
-
We learned all about marine biology, including the impact that global warming has had on the ocean and how the dangerous state of the Great Barrier Reef.
-
We went snorkeling nine times in beautiful oceans and went tubing in a real life lazy river.
-
We saw many different types of marine life besides fish, such as starfish, coral, stingrays and jellyfish.
-
We went hiking in the Cockscomb Wildlife Basin rainforest.
-
We saw three unbelievable waterfalls. It looked like a postcard!
-
We were pushed out of our comfort zones. As our instructor said, “magic begins outside of your comfort zone.”
-
We learned about the Mayan culture in Belize and visited the Mayan cultural center. There, we learned how to make tortillas and Mayan chocolate.
-
We saw two big bottlenose dolphins!
-
We ate amazing Belizean food like fried jacks, beans, fish and the best fruits.
-
Most of all, we made some incredible memories and friendships that will last a lifetime!
