Bermuda — Day 4

This morning I draw two more words from my box of angel cards. The words of the day, “open-mindedness” and  “completion.” Open-mindedness makes a lot of sense to me because opportunities are missed on travels if you’re closed off to what the country or place has to offer. Plus, if you’re investing time and spending money on traveling,...

Bermuda — Day 3

I pick an Angel Card from my small box this morning. Today’s word is “curiosity.” It’s the perfect word because, in my experience, curiosity is what creates and drives a good travel experience. The more I’m willing to learn about a country, the more I’ll discover. I’ll take home lessons and ideas to share with others, and that’s...

Bermuda — Day 2

The sunlight slowly seeps into my room the next morning and I can tell it’s going to be a beautiful day in Bermuda. I bounce out of bed, slather on some sunscreen, ready for the warm day ahead. My first bit of travel advice is this: Whether you’re traveling with someone or traveling solo, it’s helpful to pace yourself....

Aside from analyzing the symbolism behind both semi-violent dreams, the truth is, my body felt twinges of pain...

Costa Rica — Day 9

I have about six hours left in the country. But there’s one unfulfilled Costa Rica bucket list item: sloths. The Toucan Rescue Ranch is the last spot on my list, just 20 minutes from downtown San Jose. It’s one-stop shopping. I can meet animals I haven’t yet seen in the wild. The rehabilitation and rescue animal sanctuary cares...

Costa Rica — Day 8

I start my morning early. Little details like this makes me pretty proud of myself, because there’s usually a 2 a.m. bedtime for me. I’m a natural night owl and used to reporting on the Night Team. But it feels so good getting up early, watching the fresh, bright light hit the windows. It’s when Costa Rica comes...

Costa Rica — Day 7

I feel optimistic. The time away is helping, healing. I’m so much more comfortable with being alone and this is a good thing. I hit the road again with a four hour drive ahead of me; the route slowing taking me back to San Jose — Costa Rica’s capital city. Of course, navigating through dirt roads, it’ll take longer than...
