We can’t wait to welcome you to Costa Rica! First and foremost, we are absolutely thrilled to meet each of you this summer. Our dedicated in-country team has been hard at work crafting and perfecting an exciting 14-day itinerary designed to be both enjoyable and educational. Along the way, we’ve connected with numerous amazing individuals, organizations, and small businesses, and we’re eager to share the true essence of “Pura Vida” with you.
So, you might be wondering: who are we?
I am Julio Ortiz, a software developer from Alajuela, Costa Rica. I am passionate about travel and photography, which allow me to explore and capture the world’s beauty. Since high school, I have been deeply interested in participating in volunteer programs. In 2018, I had the great opportunity to volunteer with Raleigh International in Nicaragua, where I met incredible people and discovered my love for programs with a social impact. This experience strengthened my commitment to projects that promote well-being and sustainable development, shaping my vision and approach both professionally and personally.
My name is Dianna Velazquez and I’ve been a GG Program Coordinator for two years. I was raised in Dominican Republic and am very Dominican! Even though I was born in Brooklyn, NY (fun fact).
I am currently in Costa Rica and super excited to meet you all and show you around!
I am passionate about experiential learning. I believe that traveling especially with Global Glimpse opens your eyes and allows us to grow and learn A LOT.
I can’t wait to meet you!
Working with Global Glimpse is an exciting opportunity driven by your enthusiasm. I am certain that teaching you will be a memorable and enriching experience. I look forward to meeting you all, and I am excited about the fantastic time we will have together, learning and traveling.
