I love Costa Rica so much! The nature and adventure here are
different than anything I’ve ever seen or experienced before. The other day I
climbed all the way to the top of the strangler tree, and it was amazing! It
didn’t even seem real, all the branches intertwining creating a ladder up to
an amazing view. Ziplining through the rain forest was also a similar, surreal
feeling. I’ve ziplined once before, but this time was different. While flying
above the canopy and looking out to mountains, I felt strangely safe. Even when
I got stuck on the middle of a line, I wasn’t nervous at all! I just laughed
and went with it. That’s what Costa Rica has taught me – life is simple, just
go with the flow. Enjoying the present isn’t something to do sometimes on
vacation, it’s a lifestyle that I have learned about from the Costa Rican
people and hope to embrace in my daily life. Pura vida!
