During my recent trip to Puerto Rico with the Bonner Leaders Program, I meet many interesting people and learned a lot about the local community programs and culture. One of the most memorable aspects of the trip was how hospitable everyone we met was. Whether we were looking for a good restaurant or asking for directions, the locals always took time to answer our questions. In addition, all of the people we worked with made sure that we had everything we needed. I think Puerto Rico was a great choice to visit because its culture is different enough so that we were all experiencing something new, but it is not so different that we were unable to be effective. For example, during our visit to a high school, I was able learn a lot about many of the students because most of them knew how to speak English. This trip allowed us to learn about Puerto Rico and help the community there.
