Watch us as we fight trolls and ride dragons back to the United States and and…..I’m just kidding. We had a whole day of traveling to get back home. It was a sad/happy thing for us because we are going back to one family while we are leaving another. I think that everyone can say that they had an amazing time here in Costa Rica.

I’m the only one that’s screaming in any of the clips. It was so bad that when I went skipping through the Huntsville Airport, I got a “Bless their hearts” from Brandon. I’m going to miss those. I’m also going to miss the food, my tican family, and CPI. It feels like another home to me. I’m also going to miss our spot as the front door crew. 🙂

I’m terrible with goodbye’s, so I’m just going to say “Hasta luego,” which means until later in Spanish. Thank you for being here with me as I explore a new country and leave my own country for the first time. I hope that if you are reading this blog because you are thinking about going abroad, then you feel more excited and determined to do it. It really is an amazing memory and I think that you will find that there are so many other places that you want to see and explore. You will also learn so much about yourself that would have stayed locked away otherwise. Go have an adventure!!!!!

Adios my lovelies…..

¡Pura Vida from Costa Rica!

Hi, everyone! I'm a 20-year-old senior majoring in Sociology and minoring in Psychology and Spanish. I'm originally from Puyallup, WA, but I've lived in six states since then with my six brothers and sisters. Visiting Costa Rica will be my first time leaving the country, but I hope it will be a precursor for future traveling adventures!
