*8 weeks vs 6 months
Enjoying the day at the tent at Colina Secreta |
I also explain that even that you
don’t need much money to travel the way I do; you always have to have some
money put aside for incidentals.
You never know if you might get
sick and need money for the Dr and meds, or you might not feel safe in the
place you are and need money for a hostel, or any situation that might arise,
like a pandemic.
I came to Costa Rica to volunteer
at Colina Secreta Glamcamp for 6 weeks, then I was planning on traveling
through the country for a couple more weeks, and then Panama, Colombia,
Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, and In April I wanted to be in Santos,
Brazil, to take a cruise back to Europe.
When I was speaking about
incidentals, it never done on me that we will have a pandemic.
So, what started as a two month
in Costa Rica, it turned into six months, and who knows when I will be leaving
this country.
Four and a half months at Colina
Secreta in Cockles in the Atlantic coast, and one and a half month in Guess
House Pura Vida in Quepos in the Pacific coast.
The first door is my room at Pura Vida Guest House |
Even when I leave, I won’t be
able to go to the countries I was planning on visiting, because they are not
doing too well.
Besides, there are not Workaways,
or housesitting right now, so it is good that I follow my own advice and had a
little money put aside. Because, as I mentioned before, you never know.
In the meantime, I keep smiling
and enjoying this beautiful country until we are allowed to travel again.
