Week 13: Trying to Do Everything Before We Leave...
Week 13 – Full Speed Before Leaving Costa Rica 🇨🇷🔥
This week feels like full throttle.
We’ve been waking up earlier, going to bed later and trying to squeeze more into each day than seems possible. With our time in Costa Rica coming to an end, it feels like everything is happening at once.
We’re pushing hard on content creation, checking off an ever-growing to-do list. Like flying our drone on the Caribbean coast for the first time.
At the same time, we’re making space for the experiences we’ve been looking forward to — dinners with friends, everyday moments and even our first tropical half marathon in 35°C heat.
Without really noticing, the countdown has started. In just a few weeks, we’ll be arriving in Phoenix, Arizona — beginning our next chapter with a road trip through Arizona and Utah, before starting our Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike.
This is Week 13 of building our life abroad.
