Travel Writing

It rains a lot here. Every afternoon from about 1pm-5pm to be exact. Up here in the mountains the moist air from the Caribbean and the warm moist air from the Pacific stop right above us and pour out of the heavens everyday. While the lush biodiversity of a cloud rainforest could not be possible without these rains, it leaves me with lots of time on my hands in the late afternoon. I've decided to pick up some travel writing for small travel blogs...my favorite being the Lost Girls travel blog. Right now I am writing about my travels abroad starting at the age of 17 with my two very best friends. 
China
Colorado


Zambia

London

We've been all over together, and we're barely even 20. We have so many more adventures planned in our future and can't wait to share adventures again. We've been harassed and held at the airport in Beijing, been abandoned in a broken down bus in the middle of Zambia, and shared some amazing times with amazing people together. 

I'm also working on some Costa Rican things...obviously. So far we have been to three (free) swimming holes on the sides of the road.

 Near Volcan Arenal at the bottom of the La Fortunada waterfalls. Beautiful and awesome rope swing!
Hot Springs

Rio Celeste colored beautifully by volcanic minerals 
(also the place I got soaked)

 They are beautiful and part of the Costa Rica that I wanted to get to know. I've seen most of the famous volcanoes and been to both coasts, so there is a lot of information to write about. I'll post some of the articles here before they go off to the editors. If they don't make online, they'll be posted here for your reading enjoyment and I won't regret reflecting on those experiences at all.
