Ready for lift off

Hola amigos y familia!

Unfortunately that is the extent of my knowledge of the Spanish language. Do you think many Costa Ricans speak Italian? That's the same...right? I probably should have paid more attention to my grandma when I was a kid. Anyways, tomorrow morning I embark on a journey to the land of Costa Rica. This will be my first time in Central America and I am SO excited.

The trip starts off in San Jose where we will meet up with the rest of the group and get settled only to leave the next morning for La Fortuna/Arenal. After La Fortuna we will head to Montezuma and then back to San Jose. In total the trip will be about 8 days... Unless I decide to jump ship and stay there for the rest of my life. Just kidding! Or am I?

This trip could not come at a better time and I am really looking forward to exploring this exotic country while simultaneously learning more about myself. I see this trip as the perfect transition to the next stage in my life and I hope to embrace this adventure fearlessly.

I'll try to update this as much as I can, but I'll hopefully be busy white water rafting or ziplining through the rainforest.

Besos!
