After getting my first passport in 2006 and traveling to climb Kilimanjaro in Tanzania my life changed. I began the process of getting rid of all my possessions and traveling the world. Traveling to over 125 countries and all 7 continents, hostels have been my home. This "new life" has taught me what is important and it was NOT accumulating money or possessions. Traveling is the best education. I hope my blog will encourage others to travel. My World Tattoo was a way for me to express my PASSION FOR TRAVEL.

COSTA RICA, Monteverde, Canopy Zip Line













































Sunday June 13, 2010

After being canceled due to the lightning, we were finally able to enjoy the Canopy Zip Line at Selvatura Park in Monteverde. The Zip Line consists of 16 tree to tree stations over a total of 3 miles with some at heights of over 100 feet ABOVE the tree canopy. Crazy high. Scott has always had a fear of heights but managed well. Kade, on the other hand, had some serious knee knocking going on. Madison rode with a guide most of the time because she was too light. She did get to ride alone on a couple. Amber did well but like Scott kept commenting on how high they were. The Tarzan Swing was waiting for us at the end. Jumping off a very high platform and swinging out over the jungle canopy.

COSTA RICA, Canopy Zipline Tour, Monteverde





Thursday June 5, 2008

The zipline tour lasted about 2 hrs and that is the most fun that I have had since I entered Costa Rica. That alone is reason enough to come here. I am not sure how high we were sometimes but a couple of times it had to be 200 ft. above the ground . It is hard to calculate because you are going tree to tree but when you go over the valley below who knows. Hopefully the pictures will give some idea. It wasn´t scary, just exciting. You control the brakes by your hand but if you slow down too much it is a long way to pull yourself to the other end.                

After the canopy and suspension bridge tour I went to the Butterfly Garden which is billed as the 3rd largest in the world.
