With funds and desire to stay in San Jose for the rest of my time in Costa Rica dwindling, I decided a multiple-day beach trip was necessary. Everyone had their opinion about where I should go and what I should do, and eventually I settled on...Puerto Viejo. Decision motivated mostly by cost of accommodations, however; not going to lie.
Or not entirely cost. Character factored in, too.
"You have to stay at Rocking J's," Eva insisted multiple times. "It's amazing."
And so, before I even get to what I did on my winter vacation (not much), an introduction to where I stayed.
Rocking J's wins two awards: Cheapest Hostel I've Stayed At, and Most Unique Hostel I've Stayed At.
In short: it's an entirely open-air, tin-roofed joint with razy mosaic art and hammocks, as well as a tasty in-house restaurant.
As for the rest of the trip, I think I'll shut up for once and just let the pictures do the talking.
Happy New Year, readers. :)

You are brilliant. I think most people would have just found a place to get the certification at home. Going to Costa Rica simply because you could is so smart.
ReplyDeleteActually, my buddy Noah deserves the credit for my idea to jet-set to Costa Rica. I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, even with the airfare, it was actually cheaper to get it in Costa Rica than in NYC (the closest one to me).
