Beth is going to be studying abroad in Costa Rica next semester, focusing on tropical biology and ecology as she expands her horizons even further. She spent two weeks in the Peruvian rainforest over winter break - http://theprogblague.wordpress.com/2010/01/07/okay-so-i-did-end-up-swimming-in-the-amazon/ and will be spending the entire fall semester abroad in the fall.
Give Beth a shout on the contact page to wish her luck and to offer any advice you may have about living outside the US.
