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 :)

Beaches Conchal and Brasilito, Guanacaste

Guanacaste


The northern, very dry region of Costa Rica turned out to be one of my favorite trips within Costa Rica. Although on the roads, you could barely see through the dust that was whipped up by the buses and what you could see were trees without leaves, or brown plants, it has some of the greenest beaches that I have seen. 




 Playa Brasilito in Brasilito. 10 minutes down the beach from Playa Conchal.

Playa Conchal

  • By far, my favorite beach in Costa Rica. The sand is made up of tiny shells. So when the waves flow in and back out, the sand literally sparkles like diamonds.




 Jet skis to rent, anyone?
Shaded spot under a tree + aloe vera drink + Conchal Beach= dream made reality

The classic toes and beach picture. I kept singing Zac Brown Band's, "I got my toes in the water, toes in the sand.."




 You can see how dry the land is here. This was on the path on our way from Brasilito to Conchal.








 A really intricate design from the waves crashing in and out where there's a really low tide. Looks like the Tree of Life.

Dare-devil Berto!

 Fresa en agua batido, two appetizers, and a sunset.
