My first time in Costa Rica was largely spent in Limón, one of the country’s seven provinces located on the country's Caribbean coast. Limón is a paradisiacal, natural region characterized by rainforests, mountains, and a wide variety of flora and fauna. Fun fact: Costa Rica is actually home to more than 95,000 registered species, which is more than 6% of the known species or biodiversity in the world.

I was on a press trip organized by the Costa Rica tourism board, so we experienced a broad range of activities and accommodations across our one-week trip through Limón. We learned to make cocoa with the Indigenous BriBri community, rode a gyroplane, and watched wildlife just after sunrise — among other things.

Near the end of our travels, I asked Briona — the writer on the trip with me — if she wanted to collaborate on creating a video together. She wrote and recorded the voiceover, and I combined it with the footage I had shot to create the short travel video you see here.

If you’ve read this far, thank you! Feel free to leave a comment with the timestamp of your favourite part of the video, and I’ll randomly select one person by March 31st to win a 12x18” print! (Edit: Congrats to Eileen on winning!)
