Here is a list of things that have broken on my trip so far. Since I have been here (4 days), I have spent 600 colones, or a little over a dollar. Maybe I can use this as an excuse to get a nice new camera!
1) camera
2) suitcase
3) watch
4) alarm clock
Thanks to "pura vida", my amazing family, and simply being in Costa Rica, I can let these go pretty easily...
More than anything, pura vida is a way of life. It symbolizes the Costa Rican idea of letting things go, and simply enjoying life. With that, enjoy my blog and go forth living life the Pura Vida way.
Why I Created This Blog
¡Hola, Bienvenidos a todos!
I am in my fourth year of school majoring in Education and Spanish. I'm from Minnesota and am about to embark on a life changing experience, immersing myself in the language, culture, and pura vida of Costa Rica!
My ultimate goal of going to Costa Rica is to become fluent in speaking Spanish. But along the way, I am going to be visiting a very close friend from high school, experiencing Costa Rican Independence Day and Christmas, traveling to three countries and living on the beach. Oh, and I am taking classes in a university in the capital city, but it goes without debate, most of my learning will be experienced when I am not in a classroom but around the friendly Ticos (name Costa Rican's call themselves) and being out on adventures.
If you're reading this, I miss you, so do your best to let me know what you're up to! And I'll do my best filling you in on my adventures :)
