I am pretty sure I can guess how I would act on many TV reality shows. On the Bachelor, I would be the drunk girl, who empathizes with all the drunk girls and cries with them as they complain that…
Jaco-bound. Surf’s up.
It was time. It was time to surf in Costa Rica. Isn’t that why we came here? Because I have no pictures from this trip. But Jaco! A quick taxi ride across the water and we had arrived in Jaco.…
