I still am holding within me this bit of relaxation and desire to simply slow down since my trip to Costa Rica. I really got in touch with myself and am getting to really listen to my instincts and honouring them.
Did you know it has 15 microclimates!? In Monteverde, it has 6! That is definitely a packing conundrum. 🤷♀️
