Hola! I would love to make this a bilingual post, but I am battling a head cold or some obnoxious allergies, and I want to sleep, so this will be quick and in English only. This past weekend was a long one due to Costa Rican Independence Day on September 15. There was a whole … Continue reading Tortuguero!

A little taste of La Habana
Hola! Well, last week I went somewhere I had never really imagined myself going: CUBA! I had a personal day at work to burn, and I mean, when you have an extra day off from work, what better way to spend it than by going to Cuba? So, that is what my friends and I … Continue reading A little taste of La Habana
Just Cultural Things
I am closing in on the end of my second year in Costa Rica, and I definitely think I am much more adjusted this year than I was last.

November travels
Hola, and happy Thanksgiving! (Actually I'm not sure if I'll finish this post today, so perhaps happy day-or-two-after Thanksgiving!) I am writing this post on my phone while sitting around in an Airbnb in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. My brother is here visiting, and we came to Santa T with some friends to celebrate the … Continue reading November travels
¿Casi Tica?
Hola! It's been a while! Life has been good (and busy), but I clearly haven't been taking the time to blog much these days. As I've said before, that's pretty much because even the adventures just feel like part of life now. And while I know I have a loooong way to go before I … Continue reading ¿Casi Tica?
