Day 1- Doing volcano things

Didn't sleep as well as I would have liked on the overnight flight but I did make it here safely and slid through customs so let's go..

I mainly came to Costa Rica to surf and live the "Pura Vida" but it's an extremely beautiful place, covered by green, lush "selvas" and mountains, filled with plenty of outdoor activity, such as zip lining, hiking, etc. so I decided my 1st stop would be at the (still active) Arenal Volcano.. I'm staying at the Arenal Backpacker Resort in La Fortuna for $15/night so I could get a taste. Definitely a touristy vibe in this place but might as well partake in the hike a volcano, chill in hot springs, all-you-can-eat dinner package the hostel offers Before heading to the beach..


On a different note, some were curious as to what my itinerary is looking like these next ~100 days so here it is..
