A Comic (but not really funny!)

Started this comic at Tambor regional airport yesterday en route to San Juan, it get’s pretty exciting and and one point I was nervous for my life. It’s done using the ‘Comics’ app on iPad.

I’ll get to the REALLY exciting part today as I’ll be in airports from about 9am till midnight when I return to Canada. I’m hoping for a smooth day of travel and no delays.Wish me luck!

I’ve had the most wonderful time the last week and am looking forward to more travel soon. The last few days I’ve really thought through a couple things about life (omg I’m so deep) and I feel good.

With love from Costa Rica,

we found love… and by we, I mean me and the sea

    Went on a gorgeous sailing trip this week with the owners of Anamaya Resort and friends.

    We drove to the ferry spot and sailed to Tortuga Island one of the most popular & beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. My stay here has been incredibly magical. I have photos and stories but the experience is the most treasured part of it all. Huge thank you to Joseph, Kelsey and Jeff for having me. Anamaya Resort is a slice of heaven.

    If you are looking for a beautiful vacation, come here. You will feel the magic of Montezuma, taste warm breezes of the ocean and see views that will stay forever in your memory.

    With love from Costa Rica,

    Welcome to the Jungle

    Woke up to this beauty beach view and went for brekky yesterday.

    It rained sheets the night before and it was late so instead of heading back up the hill in the rain I got a room at Hotel Les in Montezuma.

    Walked the beach during an insane lightening storm and there was something romantic about the incredible dark sprinkled with flashes of light.

    The squirrels here are pretty cute and this guy had a caramel stripe down his back.

    Went for this crazy drive with a friend through the jungle. I can’t wait to come back here. I want to travel around and see more of the country.

    Flying from Tambor to San José this afternoon before my flight home tomorrow.. I totally feel relaxed, calm, connected to my thoughts and things. I’m thinking about my next destination and know I’ll be flying again soon.

    It’s amazing what a week in a jungle forrest will do to you 🙂

    Sailed Away & Left My Heart in the Ocean ♥

    Life Was Made for Living So Try Your Best

    Couple days behind on documenting my trip, it’s just so lovely outside, who wants to be on the computer?! Yesterday I went sailing to Tortuga Island and have HEAPS of photos. The day before I went to visit Tracy’s hostel and hung out with her & Barratt. This is her view! Breathtaking.

    Barratt and I had lunch at this little café and they gave us cutlery in plastic. Never seen that before.

    I had a sandwich but it was nothing special. While I was sitting there the owner of the place I stayed the night before walked by and asked to talk to me. My first thought,”sh!t, I’m in trouble for being loud, drinking and smoking” but that was not the case at all! He gave me back 5000$ colones ($10) because he felt bad that it was under construction and I had paid a full $20. Score!

    After lunch I waited at the bar (Choco’s) for the other Anamaya people to finish up surfing. I’m a bit silly though and forgot our driver parked somewhere else and I totally missed the ride back up the hill of death (mega steep). Liquid dinner again.

    Good thing though cause I met this lovely blonde girl from England named Jules. Her and I hit it off right away, she’s crazy like me! HI JULES! <3

    One of a kind, & hand painted designer cigarettes. Ok, hand painted by me with Sharpie but cool. Borderline Artistic!

    Jules and I played pool with some local boys and we all brought our own drinks to the bar. Crazy!

    Meet the Israeli boys babes  Evyatar & Amir. Quite lovely!

    Since there’s only one bar in town you get to know everyone pretty quick, especially when you’re tres friendly and Casie Stewart. No seriously though, I’ve met heaps of wonderful people on this trip. Travelling is when I really appreciate Facebook, you can add everyone then when you travel to their country you’re old friends again.

    If you need anything bad in town ask these boys, they will help you. Obviously.

    Giant babes from New York, there was four of them all over 6’2″. I was certain they were Australian but my Ozzie radar was way off.

    Say hello to team Sweden Jennifer & Li Von. HI GIRLS!

    So much fun. I love this place.

    I might get a tattoo before I leave. Pura Vida 🙂
