Last year, on this very day, I wrote my first blog post ever. (Come on, click. I know you want too. Go laugh at me!) And it was awful. Seriously, it didn’t say anything at all, haha! It was just a bunch of pretty pictures of my hometown, with maybe a 50 words description. I’ve grown a lot since then. Before, I used to write for my family and friends. Now, even though I still do, I also write for complete strangers so they can get the courage of being a digital nomad if that’s what they want to do. …
First Year Roundup: What A Year Of Travel Taught Me
Rafting in the Pacuare River
After three months in Costa Rica, leaving is not easy. Puerto Viejo has been our home for the past months and we got used to it. We developed a routine that allowed us to have fun and work at the same time. But now, it’s time to get back on the road and start a new adventure!

Chris was desperately trying to get a coconut in one of those very tall coconut trees in front of our house. He was …
Cost of living in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
With its lush jungle and its warm inhabitant, Puerto Viejo is a small town on the Caribbean coast that actually looks like paradise. How did we find the town? By browsing on Airbnb (get some credits by clicking on the link), looking for a cheap place to stay for three months. We ended up falling in love with a cabina and rented it from November 2014 to January 2015. (Sadly, yes, we almost have to go.) For those who would like to do like us, here is how much it ended up costing us. Prices in Costa Rican Colones and US …
The Guacamole you Need in your Life
We just can’t get enough of the fresh food here! An other thing that we simply just love is guacamole! There’s nothing better to eat as a snack than this mix of avocados and tomatoes. I’ve never been a fan of it until we came here. We first tried it in a restaurant and fell in love with it. Since them, we’ve been making our own every week. Our ingredients: 2 ripe avocados 1 big tomato Half of a small onions A little bit of garlic (you have to do it grandma style, where you just put as much as …
