Costa Ric My First Real Out Of The Country Experience

Costa Rica is certainly more than a vacation location, It a place that makes you want to come back for many long lifetime memories. It a place that gives you interactive experience each day. The country provides a collection of biodiversity and environmental charm in which you want to crave more each day. With royal volcanoes, foggy cloud forests, stunning river valleys, and tons of beaches along both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts. Costa Rica can grant you an amazing story that you can explore with its lovely geographic location. It shows the history of how peaceful and family driven culture is. So came explore what we call Costa Rica.

In my travels of the world I have found myself immersed in many cultures and varieties of ethnicity; I have been very fortunate to live in a day and age where such communication and experience is possible in one lifetime. I have seen La Cathedral de Notre Dame, the Statue of Liberty, the home of Da Vinci, and so many more wonderfully spiritual and historic monuments. Yet still I can say with the utmost certainty that no location has left such a lasting impact on my soul as the quaint, simple country of Costa Rica. Although many places have penetrated me with a sense of what the majestic earth and her inhabitants are capable of and have forced me to question whether or not anything is beyond the grasp of human ingenuity, none have brought

Taking trips out of the United States have allowed me to experience places as well as people that I have never thought existed in the modern world. The technology, education and medicine available here at home in the United States compared to third world countries is quite a wonder itself. I like to credit my trip sophomore year of high school to Tamarindo, Costa Rica to a self-growth that has transformed the way that I take advantage of the great resources and opportunities that I have available. In the summer of my second year at Page High School, I went on a trip with my mother to simply visit Costa Rica and enjoy the vacation but it turned out to be the most inspiring event of my life.

Costa Rica, meaning "Rich Coast," owes its versatility and natural treasures to its varied geography, ecological zones, and microclimates.

The first thing I do is wander around to truly take in the beauty of where we have arrived. I look to my left and observe a pair of quaint little brown cabins. Perched perfectly on the hill as if God himself had placed them there. Directly in front of me is the vast and gorgeous Rainy Lake. A brown dock extends into the lake just as a key would into a lock. I then walk straight onto the dock that allows you

Bizarre sounds gradually got louder and peculiar smells overwhelmed my nose as the world behind the door was revealed, one sense at a time. Progressively adjusting as I took each step, my eyes were still becoming used to the effulgent light. Mesmerised by the beautiful sight of what appeared to be a large square, surrounded by townhouses varying from dark beige to a dirty brown seemingly no more than five metres in height. The square’s ground comprised of roughly arranged cobblestones, as if whoever lay them were in a hurry. At the opposite side of the square to where I stood, I could see a monumental tower that loomed over the square. It had a single window, overlooking the

My legs are growing weak and my body feels like a weight. I have been walking for hours now and have not taken any time to stop and rest. The thought of me getting back to the highway, back to civilization, is the only thing that keeps me going on this long journey. Every step I took through that river against that huge current took a huge tole on me. I can’t wait to see the faces that I have left behind on my journey. Just the thought of seeing them again gives me the strength to keep moving and to get out of these woods. I’m so overwhelmed with excitement but at the same time I have a part of me that is nervous. I keep thinking about the same questions over and over. What am I going to say to everyone that I have left behind? What are their reactions going to be like? A few hours later I made it onto the highway and within ten minutes I hitched a long ride with a trucker who was going to Montana. He said he could drop me off in South Dakota at a bus stop and so I hopped in and we went on a long drive together. I didn’t really talk a lot and neither did he. We both seemed to be in our own little world with no distractions. I was to mesmerized by the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness which I had stayed in for months. While on the road I saw a lot of new construction sites for roads and buildings. I had no idea what I had missed out on while I was out there on that abandoned bus without any communication. I wonder what I have missed… there were sites where parts of the Alaskan

My dad pushed the heavy metal door open for me, and I walked into the large space. Around me, I could hear the scuttling of squirrels in their enclosures and the chirping of small birds. Incubators with eggs, bathed in warm orange light, were laid out. I could see the cracks forming as new life pushed its way out into the open. My little fledgling would be safe here.

When I got near the side doors, I could see that there was a official employee function going on, and other park gore like myself where making their way up past the barriers to get a look. As I got closer, I could hear the conversations, of awe and wonder, mixed in with

I love when I go to Colombia because I always go to my favorite beach “El Cabo de la Vela”. “El Cabo de la Vela” is in a desert. To get there the street is awful, damaged, is like passing throw a street full of rock. Ones you get to the beach everything change, these place is a paradise. The sound of the water is relaxing like being in a spa. You can only hear the sound of the water and the birds. These place look like heaven, the water is blue like the sky, and the sand is white like the snow. When you touch the sand it is really soft like cotton, and the water it’s at a great temperature like being in a Jacuzzi. When you are there the smell s it’s amazing, smells like nature, refreshing. “El Cabo de la

I easily realised that we have so much that people in Costa Rica don’t have. However, it took me a while to realize that they have so much that we don’t have. Not in terms of money or material things, but in terms of the most important things. The things found inside your heart. The things like love, friendship, and God.

“Maybe we could go sightseeing or ziplining through the woods!” I exclaimed. Just from that alone, my face lit up even more and a big smile was on my face. Soon after that though, I felt like a kid that was grounded. I think my excitement had overridden my boredom because my eyes would close, then a bolt of energy, or excitement, surged through my body, keeping me awake. The honks of the cars kept me awake as well. I love California for the waves and the beaches, but the traffic and the busy streets are what get me. After the long hour, we finally found a spot where we can park our rental. Then, we checked in through security and boarded the plane. The service people were one of the nicest people in the world. Since I

A bright and vibrant light shines through the dense and murky fog ahead of me as I stumble down the path from the forest. After my long journey, I am longing for a hot meal and a soft bed. The last town did not have what was needed. Let us hope this one does. Suddenly an outline of a building appears to the left of me. It is a wooden building with stone foundations. There is a lantern hanging above the double doors in the front. Loud, joyful sounds come from within such as metal objects hitting pottery. All of these elements fulfill the description of a tavern. This is great! I walk to the door and remember how I chose to give the rest of my coins to the needy. While I am contemplating whether or not I should enter, the door flies open,

Customers who like to go for holidays as a family will find this membership very attractive in terms of choice of hotels, tour packages, discounts and various other holiday services. The international affiliation with Resort Condominium International (RCI) and also International Cruise & Excursions (ICE) give members huge choice when going for a holidays. But because of the unethical behavior of the sales and call centre staffs who were only interested in their commission payments, the customers did not receive the proper information which would have made this membership a top notch vacation club. Sales staffs were trained to close the deals regardless of whether information given to customers was right or wrong. Senior management also chooses to ignore the misrepresentation because they were also enjoying the commission generated from this sale. What was supposed to be a a good vacation club ended up with many problems which ultimately now brings it closer to being wound

For some reason unknown, my brain wasn't begging me to leave the forest. In fact, I was drawn to what looked like a neglected cabin. I felt captivated by the building, despite the archaic style. I took slow but steady steps towards the old cabin.."Come in," The building whispered to me in an enthralling way. My steps quickened and I ended up at a full-on sprint to get inside the building.
