Arriving home after a long trip

I’m now back home after 3 weeks of long and exhausting travel days but also of many, many new experiences and new friends. This has been one of the most fulfilling trips I’ve ever been on even if it did end with three back to back flights. My overnight flight […]

Last night in Costa Rica and the flight home

So last night was definitely eventful but I had a great time and it was a great way to finish what has been an amazing trip. The night started out at a local Karaoke bar in town which had a great atmosphere and was really cheap – I think I […]

San Jose on Valentine’s Day

By the time I woke up this morning some of the group had already left for the airport but I said goodbye to the remaining early leavers while enjoying the free pancakes that the hostel seem to put on every morning. I was eager to explore San Jose today so […]

Mother Nature keeps me awake

They say if you watch a kettle it never boils but in the case of last night it was “if you need to get to sleep then you won’t” due to numerous factors keeping me awake all night. Firstly I had to wait up until Guido got back from the […]

The wildlife of Costa Rica

When looking through the various guide books I bought on Central America I saw how amazing the wildlife in the area was so one of my top priorities before coming out here was to see lots of wildlife. However we haven’t really seen as much as I was expecting so […]

M. Night Shyamalan is in town

There was no time for breakfast this morning as we left our hotel at 730am for the journey to our second Costa Rican destination – the town of La Fortuna which is next to the Arenal volcano. Once again this was a day where we were offered the option to […]

Zip-lining through the cloud forest

A fairly lazy start this morning ready for the activities ahead. We had breakfast in the hotel bar which was nothing special but it allowed us to have a lay in ready to be picked up at 1020 for the trip up to 100% Aventura to go zip-lining up in […]

Into Costa Rica

There was only one minibus available to take us to the 730 ferry to the Nicaraguan mainland today but somehow we managed to all fit inside with our bags on top. The ride back to the mainland was just as calm even though there was a strong wind blowing this […]

Kayaking in a shark-infested lake

The first item for today, after a lazy breakfast, was to head next door with Gary and Kelly to go kayaking up into the National Park which for only 100 Cordoba ($5) each was probably the cheapest activity we have done so far! We made our way out onto the […]

Look out for the Howler Monkey

Today was the shortest transfer of the trip so far and it only took a few hours to get to our next destination – the beautiful volcanic Ometepe island where I’m currently sat on a terrace overlooking the lake. I can’t really see anything as it’s dark but it’s a […]
