This experience has been more than I could ever express in words. From the people I have met and created strong bonds with, to Oaxaca itself and all its beauties, there is no doubt I am returning to this magical place. The more I write about this place, the more I fall in love with […]

The horse therapy site has been an awesome place to help at because I discovered how much I like working with kids as well as with the horses themselves. Since I help a lot with the maintenance aspect of the horses and the ranch, I feel more comfortable now than I did when I first […]

About Isabel Rodriguez

Photo of Isabel Rodriguez.

I am Isabel Rodriguez, a Rutgers student from Bridgewater, NJ, originally born and raised in Puerto Rico, and I will be participating in the Culture and Community Health study abroad program in Oaxaca, Mexico. This is a very exciting journey I cannot wait to begin, for I will learn about a new culture, share my own, engage actively in community service, and furthermore share my experience with others through this blog.
