Nicaragua & Costa Rica: Top 10 Most Ridiculous Things That Really Happened
We miss being abroad. We’d re-live all of these moments in a hot sec: 1. The bus driving away with our backpacks and passports on it. And us engaging in a bus chase with a taxi. 2.

9 cities, 14 days
We’re not sure if our brains have the capacity to talk about the last two weeks right now. It’s been one adventure after another. In a nutshell, this is what the last 14 days entailed: 1.

When Andrés first told us that the hostel was “animal friendly” and that they had a cat and a dog, we didn’t think anything of it. And then when we first saw you as we walked through the gate, standing at the top of the steps waiting to meet us, we just knew. We lovedContinue reading “A Love Letter to Sofia”
So. Many. Feelings.
Goooooooood morning Nicaragua. What a pleasure it is to wake up within your borders. We woke up on top bunks today, to the sun shining in our faces and the sounds of español as the locals greet each other a good morning outside our window. We’ve been in Managua, Nicaragua, for 12 hours now, andContinue reading “So. Many. Feelings.”
