Elizabeth Olsen Opens Up About Her Trip To Nicaragua

Elizabeth Olsen opened up about her recent trip to Nicaragua. The young actress teamed up with the Latitude Project to travel to the country and help a local community. Highlights from her interview are below.

On how she teamed up with the Latitude Project: “Three years ago I booked a trip to Nicaragua for a yoga retreat, which got canceled at the last minute. I decided to go anyway, and I’m glad I did because I met The Latitude Project founders Jenn and Alanna Tynan in the little town of San Juan del Sur.”

On her trip: “This past fall I went on my second trip to San Juan del Sur and visited a new community. This area didn’t have any electricity, so we distributed solar lights. Because I’m not fluent in Spanish, the best way I can communicate with the people is physically—I play kickball with kids or act like a clown just to make them laugh.”

I love when we get to hear about these kinds of trips!
