Personal Narrative: A Trip To Costa Rica

Waving goodbye from the backseat of the car, as we pull out of my parent’s driveway. Looking out the window at the oddly, white shaped clouds. Thinking, I had never been away from my parents and my younger sister for so long, even though it was only for two weeks. I was excited and scared all at once, but I wasn’t too thrilled about the whole 29-hour drive there. Hoping that the trip would go well and nothing bad will happen to us.

This summer I went on a trip to pigeon forge tennessee and did a bunch of activities while I was there.Even though we did a lot of activities my favorite one was white water rafting which we did towards the end of the trip.It was the highlight of my trip and i'm going to tell you all about it.

We had been waiting for this trip for years. Every 5 years we go on a trip to someplace fun. When five years passed after our trip to disneyland we were all waiting to go on some other adventure. I had done this twice, but 2 things about our trip this year were special.

room and James got his own. We decided to relax for about an hour before we headed out to

Rollercoasters. We got to space Mountain and we must have rode it 10 times because I was having so much fun that we kept going back again and again. Then we went to splash mountain which is a water version of space mountain, i got soaked along with my dad, he had to sit up front where he got soaked the most. My dad and I decided we needed to get some food so we went to this one

The day has finally come to go on vacation. My family and I departed promptly from our house at 4:30 in the morning. Our flight was scheduled for 7 in the morning at Pittsburgh International Airport. We had to arrive their early because all people flying international had to be their two hours before the flight would leave. We boarded the flight out to Punta Cana, which is located in the Dominican Republic. I can remember that I was so excited to go, that I was the first on the flight. I am pretty sure that it took about three hours to get to the Dominican Republic from Pittsburgh. It was a really long flight to me because I could not wait to get there and I just wanted to land. Finally, the moment has come and we landed. When we departed

We tried to remain imperturbable, but we were overwhelmed with all the glorious architectures, festivities, and traditions of San Jose, Costa Rica. Later, we arrived to the periphery part of the city, where are new, utilitarian abode for the week awaited.

Costa Rica is a very beautiful and unique place. It was my first time going there and I loved it! It was much different than the United States in ways I didn’t mind or even enjoyed. We saw many things and went many places while we were down there. I am ready to go back again already and do new, exciting things. However, we did a lot while we were down there.

I was no longer considered a child on March 29, 2014 when I had celebrated my Quinceañera among family and friends.

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

The volcano is part of Los Nevados National Natural Park in Columbia, South America. It is actually a very popular park, being the third most visited place in Columbia. Nevado del Ruiz has been an active stratovolcano for about two million years. Nevado del Ruiz was formed by subduction of the Nazca oceanic plate underneath the South

I will be going into depth about a family vacation in Punta Cana that my lovely girlfriend had the chance to come along with. This was my second trip to this destination once while I was younger with only my parents and sister. But for the next time much more of my family got the opportunity to come along. The main reason being because my cousin was getting married here but everyone was also looking for a relaxing vacation. Punta Cana is a warm tropical destination and was the perfect place to do so. The views in this country are breathtaking. This place is also a very poor third world country outside of the resorts which we were staying at.

I decided to interview our Costa Rican tour guide Victor. Some of the undergraduate students and I got an opportunity to talk to Victor about some of his travels and his life. The following interview questions focus on Victor’s life, his family, and his beliefs.

It was the last day of my trip, and while I was washing plates in my grandmother’s house, the sunlight was reflected on the plates to my eyes. The fear going through my veins, my mind confused with everything that have happened two weeks ago. Uncertainty of what event would destroy or rebuild my heart. What would happen next ?. The future is unpredictable, so far that is a concept that now I understand. Considering the time spent in my country Colombia , vacations, friends, and parties were the words that stay on my mind for the first two weeks, otherwise the next two weeks were not what I planned. Firstable I was not supposed to be there for these last two weeks, but I am grateful. “No puedes viajar hoy” were the words asserted by the airline

Costa Rica 2013- My first real out of the country experience. It’s spring break and my family and I are going to Costa Rica. I have been to the Bahamas for a week when I was really young, and I’ve gone to Canada, our neighbor to the north, many times. This is cooler, I am eleven now, basically a teenager. I deplane the aircraft, somewhat unwillingly since I was in the middle of the movie. My eyes were glued to the animation on the screen plastered to the seat in front of me. Outside, it is dark, but when i get out, I expect a dense rainforest. I expect a toucan sitting in a tree to the left. I expect trees that tower to the heavens.
