Central America: Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

If there's one thing that can be said about hitching rides from the locals - it's quick, easy, and you'll cop about 10000 bugs in your mouth while you're flying down the free way to the boarder. 

While travelling Canada last year I picked up a few extra big brothers and after not seeing each other for the last few months the boys decided on a spontaneous trip to Costa Rica to pay a visit while they had some time off from their mountains jobs.

After the boys arrived we had some catch up beers and games of pool then called it a night to travel to The surfing town of Puerto Viejo bright and early! 

Puerto Viejo looks like how I would imagine Hawaii looked like 30 years ago, it's a quaint little oasis with good waves, decent food and little boutique stores selling anything from 
Hair wraps to expensive jewellery. 

For the first full day with the whole gang we checked into our tents at The Rocking Jays and took out some bikes to explore the town and bar hop through the village! 

To finish off the night we cooked up a big stir fry and sat around a bonfire on the beach while drinking too many frozen cocktails! 

The following day to celebrate Ash's 24th birthday we travelled to the sloth sanctuary to have a private tour and hang out with some baby sloths - if you're ever in Costa Rica this tour is 100% worth your time and money! 

Our stop at Costa Rica was short and sweet but we are all itching to get into Panama and travel to Bocas Del Torro to indulge in some much needed relaxation time, exploring and good times!
