What is Mai up to this time?!
Hello beautiful souls,
You won't believe the hilarious start to our Costa Rican adventure!
Check out this photo of me getting a massage by the beach, snapped from under the massage table—talk about a unique angle! (Thanks, husband!)
😆 Sometimes, you just have to laugh at yourself and enjoy the moment.
This week, I wanted to take you on the vacation with me!
Costa Rica truly lives up to its “Pura Vida” (Pure Life) mantra. It’s a phrase that embodies the laid-back, positive attitude of the locals.
From the moment we landed, we were greeted with warm smiles. Our adventure started with a wild ride we affectionately called the “Costa Rican massage”—the local nickname for driving on the country’s famously bumpy roads!!! 🚗💨
This is our actual footage! I mean, it was REALLY bumpy!!
While the ride might have been a bit rough, it was all part of the fun and worth it for the breathtaking views we encountered along the way.
🍹 Sipping Coconut Juice & Soaking in Views 🍹
You know I'm a vegan, so of course, one of the first things I did was indulge in fresh coconut juice straight from this giant coconut!
There’s something so refreshing about sipping nature’s nectar while gazing out at the endless ocean.
Whether we were riding dirt bikes , kayaking in crystal-clear waters, or simply relaxing on the beach, the scenery was always stunning.
🏝️ New Adventures & Relaxation 🏝️
vroom vroom!!
Jay and I couldn’t resist the thrill of exploring Costa Rica’s landscapes. We rode dirt bikes through rugged terrain, feeling the wind in our hair!
But again, the highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the breathtaking views — from the top of a hill or the middle of a serene lake while kayaking.
The colors of the water and sky were more vibrant than we could have ever imagined!
When you travel, are you the type that goes on new adventures or prefers to stay in?
After all the adventures, we treated ourselves to a soothing beachside massage.
The sound of the waves, the scent of the ocean, and the expert hands of the masseuse made it an experience to remember.
AND we made some fun content!
BOO!!!
And of course, we had to take a dip in the inviting waters—there’s nothing like a good swim to wash away the stress of everyday life!
Are you a mountain or beach person?
Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.
Whether you’re planning your own adventure or simply joining us from home, we hope our stories bring a smile to your face and inspire you to embrace the beauty of life.
Remember, no matter where you are, live with the spirit of “Pura Vida!”
