20th March 2023. This is kind of click bait because it all turned out alright in the end (it always does) but it was a pretty mad first night in La Fortuna! To save money on accomodation Hollie signed up to a website called Couch Surfing and we arranged to stay with a guy called …
13th -14th March. Hollie and I were reunited at the Wet Nose Project and worked a few days together and then got our 2 days off. It only worked out as 1 night away because we still had to rotate the dogs until 8pm the night before our day off, so couldn’t travel anywhere. So …
So Hollie and I knew that we NEEDED to do a work away in Costa Rica because of how expensive it is. We had originally planned another eco farm work away, where we would be camping. However they didn’t provide food and the supermarket was a 40 minute walk away. If you hadn’t noticed by …
15-17th February 2023 (Semuc Champey is part of the Cahabon River, however, the river flows under a 300-meter sheet of limestone rock. In fact, Semuc Champey actually means “where the river hides under the earth”).

I don’t even know if I can say ‘volunteering’ at this stage, because this week has been an absolute breeze. Every day has felt like a Friday! I should rewind to Saturday evening. After we returned from Santiago we prepared for a pizza night with the French couple, Hugo and his girlfriend Babi. Babi is …
21st January 2023 On Saturday Hollie and I got a boat into Santiago with plans to stock up on essentials, get some cash out, and charge a few items. It was a blissfully calm day, and the lake was so crystal clear and peaceful. The boat effortlessly glided over the water and we took in …
So if you read the first instalment of this 3 week volunteering mission, then you would know I said I hoped the wind wasn’t too strong to stop us from heading into Santiago at the weekend. Well, you’ll be pleased to know (or not care in the slightest) that it was windy, but we were …
We were promised techno, which would have been preferable to house, but hey, we’re travelling and all about new experience right! So the lovely Sara and Mara told us about this rave, and when we first looked there weren’t any tickets left, only 100 for sale on the day. So we booked Hostal Azul and …
