Inspired by an old co-worker to start bullet journaling, I decided to bullet journal my trip to Costa Rica.
Some background information for those who may not know why I decided to go to Costa Rica: After deciding to leave my first job post-college I knew I wanted to travel. The opportunity arose when an old friend asked me to go with him and his two other friends. Thrilled yet nervous, I decided to buy my plane ticket.. meaning I was the only girl of 3 guys that was on this trip. It all worked out though.
The trip was much needed, liberating, and reminded me of how small we are in this BIG world.
Thats enough typical blogging for now. Enjoy the bullet journal and vlogs :)
