The Beautiful Beaches of Costa Rica
Costa Rica is a cozy little country. . tucked between the shorelines of the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. With such an expansive shoreline, the beaches of Costa Rica are diverse, with varied personalities. Every beachgoer will find something amazing. . a beautiful white-sand paradise lined with palm trees, volcanic black sand or naturally-rugged beach coves surrounded by tropical rainforest. My favorite beaches are on the Southern Pacific Coast. There are actually rock formations, cutouts and open caves to explore! From huge, all-inclusive beach resorts to untouched shorelines, there’s an ideal beach setting for everyone. It is indeed one of our best assets here in one of the happiest countries on the planet!

Dune Buggies in Brazil
A buggy ride through sand dunes sounds like fun , right? Even when "wall of death" and "vertical descent" is used to describe part of the journey, it can't be that bad, can it? After all, it´s only sand! That's what I thought as I climbed into the topless dune buggy and took off for the hills! Ah, freedom! Perched on the back of the seat, wind in my hair, flying down the beach to the tune of the waves. Even the downpour of rain couldn't quench our spirits! It did however put a damper (no pun intended) on the planned camel ride! Instead we made friends with the local lizards as they made themselves at home on my head !

Venturing into Terra-Incognita
As I sit in my room while we are in the midst of a global pandemic that has devoured thousands of people across the globe, my mind wanders off to the days when we were free enough to travel across the globe and have adventures. I am not sure what the future holds for me in the post-covid era so I want to utilize this time to write about my travel experience to Europe. This was my first time traveling alone and it was an exciting experience. The solo-travel inspiration came from a friend who traveled alone before and booking a tour group to do it came from another concerned friend who feared for my safety. I felt safer booking a tour that made all the arrangements as a first-time solo traveler. I grew up in many cities as my parents were always moving across the country. A predominant part of my childhood memories consists of packing, unpacking, moving, adjusting to a different climate-culture-people and then bidding them adieu as if my entire life was teaching me to let go. To some, it was a broken childhood and to some, it was a life full of new experiences but to me, it was all I had. What I really wanted in life was to escape, to dream, to do more, to be more and travel all the distant and friendly lands. This felt like my chance to live my dream, so off I went to London.

The "Must Laminate" Packing List For Backpacking
Everyone has their own packing lists. My friend, Bella, even laminated each of hers for different seasons and trips. Go Bella! My packing lists have changed many times. There’s packing for basic backpacking, which is essentially overnight hiking. Then there are things I’ll bring bike-packing, overnight canoeing, and even to a cabin that I won’t need all the time. Below are my must-haves, no matter what trip it is. Keep in mind that winter camping is much more nuanced than summer, because everything takes more effort and mindfulness in the cold weather. Plan ahead by going with someone experienced no matter what for your first few times. Then go solo when you feel safe and have your systems dialed.
