I had been planning my Yukon trip for the past couple of weeks. I’m not used to planning so much, but since I went with my mom, I thought it would be easier. I even made a packing list and…
Our amazing race: Last stop in Manuel Antonio
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.…
