Why Costa Rica?

Now that I had my Plan B taken care of, the next step would be deciding where in the World I would go. I thought about going to Africa, and had actually decided to go to Morocco, however destiny would interfere and I would end up going to visit my friend in Costa Rica prior to my departure for Africa. The love affair that ensued with Costa Rica was instant and I immediately changed my mind about going to Africa. Costa Rica's nature truly blew me away. Coming from an isolated town in Canada, what I liked even more than the weather was the proximity of everything in Costa Rica. I could drive from the Pacific to the Atlantic in five hours! I could not believe this! Also, with 11 different micro climates, I was able to see what I considered to be 10 countries worth of things, in a week trip. The decision at this point was an easy one, Costa Rica would be my destination, now the hard part was to follow; what the heck am I going to do to make that oh so important $$$.
