  • Goodbye Punta Mona

    June 8, 2021 in Costa Rica ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    My time at Punta Mona has come to an end. What an amazing experience!🤩🏝 I came with a group of ~30 people from around the world to immerse myself for a month into the permaculture community living here on the beach in the jungle of Costa Rica.🐒

    I formed deep bonds while going through individual and collective ups and downs. I had high highs, dancing, laughing, learning, and working together - and also low lows dealing with physical challenges and emotional triggers, rain, mud, bug bites, mold, a full moon - and everything in between. Most of the times I felt so grateful, excited, inspired and connected. This place is so beautiful and served to help me face some edges and grow in love.💗

    I want to send gratitude to Punta Mona for holding this space of learning and allowing me to observe and be a part of the beautiful community of loving humans that exist here.🙏🏽

    I am so happy to have made so many dozens of friends from around the world - incredible people who are working to envision reality differently and bring more authenticity and love to the planet.🌎 We definitely need more of this energy and intention in the world.

  • Poas Crater 🌋

    June 9, 2021 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Well, sometimes you plan visiting a super cool place and than you have to deal with what you get. This time it was fog. However there was one little timeframe without fog to take some pictures 🥳

    There were also some research guys with a massive drone and I could take a look at the live video 😊

  • Monteverde Cloudforest Walk

    June 12, 2021 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    The walk through the Cloudforest was really magical. It’s so fascinating how nature keeps the equilibrium.

    The last days have been really stimulating and the forest and the big trees really helped me to get grounded again.

    I took some pictures but it’s not even close to the real experience 😅

  • Pachamama

    June 18, 2021 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    The upcoming week I’m going to stay in another community called Pachamama. Compared to Punta Mona the here is more on Yoga, Spirituality and Silence.
    However, the main reason for me coming here is because I’m doing a free dive course 🤿🤩

    The first days before the course started I stayed mostly in solitude, reading a very good book (The surrender experiment) and meditating.

  • AIDA Free Dive Course

    June 22, 2021 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    What an experience 🤩🤿 while I was at Pachamama I took a three day AIDA Free Dive Course.

    We learned how to dive save and with the proper technique. I was able to hold my breath in the pool for four minutes and at the exam dive I went down to 20 meters in the ocean. It was a really great experience diving without any scuba gear 😊

    On the first day we even got in a huge thunderstorm and a lightning striked right next to our boat.

    After the three days I passed the physical and theoretical exam and I’m now a certified Level 2 free diver 😎

  • Punta Mona Bro-Reunion

    June 27, 2021 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    I was so happy to meet some of the guys I’ve met at Punta Mona again. Chris, Gabo, Amit and I stayed a couple of days at a nice place up the hills of Santa Teresa.

    We had so much deep conversations and the view was just incredible and I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets in my life.Read more

  • Playa Uvita & The Whale Tail

    June 30, 2021 in Costa Rica ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    I booked an Airbnb right at the beach so I could swim, watch the sunset and enjoy this beautiful Uvita beach.

    Well… after I walked for five minutes on the beach I saw two quads racing towards me. The Rangers with guns told me this is a National Park and is close already and I can’t just walk on the beach and I have to leave immediately. I left 😅

    The cool thing about this beach is that the two currents create a whale tail shape of sand which you can see on the first picture I took from the Internet 😇

  • Drake Bay

    July 3, 2021 in Costa Rica ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

    I stayed three nights at Drake Bay. A very remote and small village and finally a place with mir locals than tourists 👍

    While I’m there I basically want to rest and enjoy the calmness of this area.

  • Playa Colibri

    July 5, 2021 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    In the meanwhile the word Colibri has a special meaning to me. Besides the fact that I find those birds fascinating, the name of the room I got at Punta Mona was Colibri. At Pachamama, the second community I stayed the name of my room was… Colibri 😀🤗.

    This morning I came across the sign “Playa Colibri” which for me was as well a sign to check it out.

    To my surprise this beach was so beautiful and calm. Exactly what I needed this morning 🙏 even a turtle came right to the beach to say good morning 😀

  • Pura Vida Costa Rica

    July 13, 2021 in Costa Rica ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Quick 45 minute domestic flight to get to the San José International Airport 😎 from where I’ll have a connecting flight to Panama 🇵🇦.

    I have to say Costa Rica surprised me! The only reason I started my journey in Costa Rica was because I wanted to live at Punta Mona for a month so I didn’t really do a lot of research about the country before. Now almost three month later and seeing so many beautiful places I can say that Costa Rica is soooooo beautiful and a wonderful country. The lush green jungle, the beaches, the friendly people and the diversity of having a caribbean and pacific side. Not to forget the amazing food, chocolate and coffee 😍

    I’m really grateful to experience the Pura Vida Lifestyle 🏝😊

  • San Jose - Panama City

    July 13, 2021 in Panama ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    During my three hour layover I met Leó at the airport 🤩 We both got to know each other two month ago at Punta Mona and he took the same flight to Panama - what a “coincidence” 😀

    The flight was very good and it felt surreal to fligh through the clouds ☁️

    The next three nights I’m staying in a nice hotel 😇 and then I’ll welcome my first visitor from Germany 🥳 to go on a little Panama roadtrip with.
