Last month I checked off a ten-year bucket list item - I went ziplining over the rainforest in Costa Rica. It was as amazing as I dreamed it would be and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Aside from the adrenaline of the zipline, the trip was filled with hiking, horseback riding, thermal hot springs, an impromptu trip to Nicaragua and scalping tickets to a World Cup qualifying match at the National Stadium.
It's hard to pinpoint what I liked best about the trip because the truth is, I loved every minute of it. I often like to check off countries and move on to other continents, but I would gladly return to Costa Rica and Nicaragua if I have the chance.
Here are some more highlights.
