My experience these past three months has been amazing and taught me all sorts of things, about myself and about life. I’m all for ‘everything happens for a reason’ and I know that I was meant to be in Costa Rica this summer. Yes, the internship was great! I learned a lot, and had theContinue reading “Adios To An Unforgettable Summer”

Balloons, Booze, and goodByes
Well yesterday was my last day of work, and as fun and exciting as the day was, it was so bittersweet! The people I’ve met here have made working that much more fun, and have me looking back on these past three months and already dubing them as some of the best three months I’veContinue reading “Balloons, Booze, and goodByes”
Summiting Chirripó: 40km in 48 hours
40km and 48 hours later, I am back at our Rainforest base having summited Costa Rica’s highest mountain. I must say the entire experience is something I will remember for the rest of my life. It was the most challenging, invigorating, blissful, and painful journey, and worth every single Kilometer. I made the journey withContinue reading “Summiting Chirripó: 40km in 48 hours”
Currently: Hiking A Mountain
So I am currently on my way to hike the tallest mountain in Costa Rica: Mt.Chirripó! It’s the 38th tallest in the world, and the highest mountain in Central America! Super excited to hopefully cross another thing off my list: Summit a Mountain and not only that but to push myself and endure the amazingContinue reading “Currently: Hiking A Mountain”
Zoomin’ to Montezuma
Just when I thought Costa Rica couldn’t get any more amazing, it did. Eliot (the media intern) and I ended up being the only two that were going to be stranded on base one weekend, so we decided to jet off to the distant town of waterfalls, turtle islands, and beautiful landscapes; and that townContinue reading “Zoomin’ to Montezuma”
Costa Rica’s Best Kept Secret?

So me, Kaari, and my friend Michelle packed up and made our way to Samara! The Lovely Samara Before Samara I hadContinue reading “Costa Rica’s Best Kept Secret?”
One Fruit, Two Fruit, Red Fruit, Spiky Fruit?!
Ok, so I wanted to do a little post about one of my newly beloved Costa Rican fruits: Mamon Chino. The first time I was told to try one of these, I looked at it and didn’t think it was edible. It’s a little red (sometimes orange/yellowish depending on it’s ripeness) round fruit, with aContinue reading “One Fruit, Two Fruit, Red Fruit, Spiky Fruit?!”
A Day In The Life…
So just a little update on life in the rainforest. The past week has actually been pretty entertaining… Monday our electricity was stolen. Yes, stolen. Someone broke onto base, stole some copper device that makes our electricity work, and left us with no light, internet, or hot water. So, work happened at a coffee shop.Continue reading “A Day In The Life…”
The Mouth Of Bulls (AKA Bocas Del Toro)
Still trying to figure out the reasoning for the name….but in Spanish it literally translates toe ‘the mouth of bulls’ …anywho After venturing back from Chicagoland I was thrown back onto a bus venturing to a town known as Bocas Del Toro located in Panama. I guess I cant really say thrown because I wentContinue reading “The Mouth Of Bulls (AKA Bocas Del Toro)”
