Traveling to Costa Rica with my two girlfriends, Dawn and Rachael, was a life changing experience for me. This Costa Rican excursion was the first time I traveled without any adult supervision. When there aren't any parents around, you are in so much more control of your so-called destiny of your trip. Traveling with friends also comes with added responsibility. I was so much more aware of my surroundings because I had to focus to make sure I was going in the right direction. Second, we were legit backpackers staying in hostels. I never knew places to stay could be as cheap as 8$ a night! The backpacking experience was cool, too. I felt like I had the look of an experienced traveler!
1. The Columbian:
We met this Columbian in our first hostel we stayed t in San Jose. Let me also mention that we had probably only been in Central America for about 3 hours at this point. He was quite a nationalist, and was convinced South America, Africa and the Middle East were all going to joining forces by reserving natural resources and they were going to become the next world leaders. I had never ever though
of anything lie this before!
2. Cristob.
He was Chilean 38 year old who was 12 at heart. I don't think it's possible to meet another 38 year old who is as youthful as him. We met Cristob while traveling via ferry from Paquera to Puntarenas. He was on a 3 month extended trip traveling through Central America. Cristob had us act like monkeys and requested us to pic bugs off of each others heads. oh jeeze.
3. Nasa
Nasa, our hostel landlord. He was so chill~. He taught me how to take it easy. He wasn't out and about running errands every day, he was so chill and content spending his days on the beach, listening to the ocean waves.
"Even if your mind forgets, your body never forgets"
4. Ran
The most beautiful person I have ever laid eyes on. He was Israeli ex-soldier. He was traveling alone around Central America after his mandatory 4 year military service. I hope fate brings me to him once again in my future.
