Description

Today's guest, Dina Navar, served from 2009-2012 as a Rural Community Development Volunteer in Buena Vista de San Carlos in Alajuela Province. Dina shares how a college professor inspired her to apply, what it was like transitioning from a big city in the U.S. to a small town in Costa Rica, and the meaningful projects she helped bring to life during her service. We also explore her journey to earning a JD/MA from American University, the supportive community she found among other Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs), and how she continues to embrace pura vida today.
