    I’ll need this dress... and that one too

    December 16, 2020 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    For some packing their travel bags is a ritual to welcome the spirit of travel into their minds.
    For me ... it is hell.
    The fact that we decided to go on this journey with hand luggage only, made it even worse.
    Minimalism at its finest...I admit, not something I am good at. In the end I have packed my backpack so it would match the allowed hand luggage size ...puh ... done and only minutes before I needed to leave for the train😅 yes yes ... time management skills.
    The train ride to Frankfurt was really relaxing. Security check was fast since there weren’t many people around. And then our boarding started. As the plane took off and I saw the clouds beneath us, I felt it ... it really happened ... I’ve escaped...before me an adventure, sun, wilderness and the ocean.

    I waved goodbye to Germany, a country I love but felt imprisoned in for the last weeks. Never have I ever worried so much before a trip. But now ... enough of this sentimental speech ... I leave it all behind.
    Off to new horizons.

    We finally made it. We arrived in Costa Rica and we were already faced with our first lesson... slowing down and be patient. We are used to the fast life where everyone is busy and time is money so there is no time to waste, but here in Costa Rica it seems people are less hurried ... I must admit, having to wait in line for the border control after suffering from insomnia the whole flight and not having slept for 24 hours, took its toll on my nerves. I wasn’t as relaxed as the airport staff and neither was my travel buddy😂 right now it seems comical to me, but we where a little pissed off and also wondering about their extra slow work pace 😂 but looking back it was the first glimpse into the very laidback lifestyle of Costa Rican’s a lifestyle we came to loveRead more
