"It was an incredible trip," quality inn hotel said Cassidy Lundy, 17, a Corona del Mar High School senior who traveled to Costa Rica with 17 other high school students from across the country to build a community quality inn hotel center as part of a service project with Walking Tree Travel.
"We really have a lot to learn from these people, not just to give them," she said. "I thought I'd be going on this trip as a great opportunity to give back and do some community service, see what I could do to help, but I came out of it learning so much more than I gave."
"We forget the reason villages, towns, and cities came to be in the first place—to bring people together," Lundy wrote in her journal, and during her time in Costa Rice she was "overcome with the unfamiliar, yet heart-warming feeling of community."

"I've adjusted my own life so that I make a conscious quality inn hotel effort to talk to people and ask them how they are," she said. "I feel obligated because not everyone is going to be able to see that kind of community in their lives, so I feel like I almost need to spread the warmth of community… People don't know what they're missing out on."
"At Walking Tree, we offer teens the opportunity to widen their world view," according to Paul Laurie, director of Walking Tree Travel. "We hope that our journalism fellows bring their experiences home and start a dialogue with other kids to better appreciate the world which we all share."
The group was out there all day, doing "real, hard core" manual labor, Lundy said. At one point she was on a roof pulling out nails, one by one. Another day, she used the sledge hammer almost non-stop quality inn hotel all day.
"It didn't feel like work," Lundy said. "It just felt so good.. It was the most core form of community service you could possibly do and that felt so good. To know that you're sweating in 90 degree weather and humidity and all of your work is helping out other people."
"It was amazing… For how little they had, they were willing to give everything to make us happy and welcome and comfortable," Lundy said. "I was not expecting the extent of their generosity of the entire village."
