    A lot of people may not know this but when I was about 13 years old, I made my first bucket list. For some reason the first thing I wrote is eat a mango in CR. 10 years later I did.
    My stay in Quepos/Manuel Antonio is coming to an end. I stayed in a Hotel/Bed and Breakfast in the jungle and my rooms name was „cava“. It describes it quite well since its literally a little cave. There is an outside kitchen, a little pool and loads of wildlife! An older group of friends (french canadian and north american), that get together here every year, kind of adopted me. They fed me delicious food and took me to the Nauyaca waterfalls. I also befriended a Tico (costa rican expression for locals) who not only took me to amazing hidden waterfalls, but also taught me how to surf! Isn‘t that amazing?! There‘s a reason why Pura Vida is the most often used expression here.
    After exploring the Pacific coast, freeing baby turtles in isla damas, seeing beautiful beaches, waterfalls, monkeys, iguanas, tucanes, parrots, sloths and more, I am off to the carribean coast. I am excited for the raggea as well as for rice and beans.
