DREAM VACATION: COSTA RICA: Flight & Hostel Accommodations

The flight price tends to vary throughout the tourist season. Being a student in college; I want prefer to make this trip as feasible as possible while at the same time being able to fit my motives and desires. Thus my four month summer vacation is the perfect time to get away. The price of the flight is cheap, as well choosing a hostel like Solo Bueno Hostel in Costa Rica is an optimal financial solution. This cozy surf hostel, hidden within the jungle at Playa Guiones on the Nicoya Peninsula is a ten-minute stroll to the beach where I could surf during the day. It is also a short distance to a number of area restaurants and bars to experience the nightlife. Daily rates for Hostel Solo Bueno average up to $ 25 (US) during high season. There are two dorm rooms at the hostel, both rooms have fans and there are single beds and a few bunk beds. A company like Flightnetwork tracks cheap flights during off season. A flight in May would be the perfect 10 day get away to make this dream a reality.

My Favourite Surfboard By Al Merrick

My Favourite Surfer: Kelly Slater

Kelly Slater clinched an historic and unprecedented 11th ASP World Title. Slater, 39, is the first surfer to achieve 11 ASP World Titles, an accomplishment spanning two decades of an astounding career during which he has dominated competitive surfing as both the youngest and oldest ASP World Champion. Slater has redefined the surfing world, and inspires me to always improve and move forward. Regardless of his age, he overcomes any criticism and simply defeats all his competitors. He is the biggest icon of the surf world, and motivates me to become a better surfer. Here is a video clip of his recent world title championship (number 11 for him). Surfing requires amazing fitness and dedication, and in my dream vacation to Costa Rica; I need all of these factors and inspirations.
