I visited Costa Rica in 2016, the summer after I
graduated from high school. This was my first trip without a family member! Although I was a little nervous about leaving for so long, I was so happy that I did. I traveled with only one classmate from my high school and
one faculty advisor. Upon arrival, we met with other students from varying schools
across the U.S., although I did not make any close friendships.
I absolutely fell in love with the culture and the environment during the 10 days I was there.
Pacific Ocean
I find myself in pure amazement each time I see the ocean. It's incredible to see water for as far as your eyes will allow. It's no wonder there are still portions of the ocean that humans haven't explored.
Tortuguero
On our boat ride through the rain forest, we witnessed many sloths hanging in trees, an iguana, and many caiman. The link above shows a 30-second clip of what can be experienced on a boat ride.
This hotel was by far the most luxurious during our trip. Even at this hotel we still saw wildlife all around us. We found crabs near the pool, iguanas along the patios, and even a gecko in my roommate's suitcase. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I will definitely be returning someday!
