It’s hard to believe Christmas has come and gone and so has 2011!! I feel like time is flashing before my eyes.I had such an amazing time at home seeing old faces and some new ones. Canada truly is an amazing place, but I seemed to have forgotten how cold it was during the winter months, so the only solution was to take a small trip to some where hot. Costa Rica.
The sand, sun and surf in Jaco, this small surf town located on the pacific coast of Costa Rica was a vacation that I desperately needed. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed just like Kenya, no one is in a hurry. People from all over the world come to stay at School of the World. A wicked hostel like place that offers a “learning vacation” to those interested. I choose to do double surf class, but other options include yoga, photography, and Spanish classes. Any combination works. School of the World is a very short walk from the beach and really has attracted the most talented of people. From amazing graffiti artists to wicked surfers you can’t go wrong. Needless to say I think I’m addicted to surfing.

I was lucky enough to have two great friends in Costa Rica at the same time as me. None other than Jared and Saira. It was super nice to have some familiar faces around, since I’m more used to travelling alone. We all ate some amazing food together and spent some quality beach time, where I mostly ended up passing out from a late night or an action packed morning. Nonetheless they were amazing and it was nice to finally catch up after years of not seeing each other.
I'm itching to get back in the ocen, can't wait to find another place to enjoy the sand and surf. As much as I got beat up by the waves, it proved to be the beating that I needed. The question on my mind is where to next!?
