An adventure off the beaten path in Costa Rica

It was once upon a time in the beautiful country of cacao and coffee, of sunshine and pristine beaches, palm trees swaying in the wind, Raggae playing out of the narrowest streets, and all Pura Vida vibes.

Not just in Costa Rica, but in the very last corner of it, in the deepest jungle, on a peninsula surrounded by nothing but the wild raging ocean, and next to the wooden giants of the lush green rainforest. Getting there is a whole other story - but not the one to be told today.

Who needs a packing list?

Okay okay, you probably already know what you pack when you travel. If you're reading this, you're probably outgoing globetrotters and already experienced travelers. There is the basic equipment with all the trimmings that everyone has - and then everyone has so his little extras that they bring. But who thinks about the group?  

We do! That's why we've picked out a few things you shouldn't forget on your next group trip. They will not only make your life easier, but also ensure a good mood and fun evenings.

Why go far when the good is so close? 

Germany is not just Germany - it depends on the perspective. The best example of this for me was Hamburg, but more on that later. The country has more to offer than Oktoberfest - yes Oktoberfest is a highlight in itself, no question - but have you ever let the sun shine on your face at the North Sea? Go island hopping at the Baltic Sea? Tasted wine in the city of Weingarten? Or have you ever felt like a princess or prince at Neuschwanstein Castle? Get inspired and plan your next group trip with JoinMyTrip to the best spots in Germany! 

Why plan a CoWorking trip with JoinMyTrip? 

Sitting in your desk at home while the raindrops run down the window pane. It's wet and cold outside and the outlook for the coming days is as bleak as it is uneventful. You work online and would love to just pack your office into your backpack and take it with you to the sunny south. But no one from your friends circle has time and going alone is not the same. Do you know this feeling? We had the same problem and found a solution right away: CoWorking with JoinMyTrip! 

These are strange times we live in, and the travel industry has had to adapt quickly, changing the way we travel. Very few people are flying long haul at the moment, especially to Australia where there are tough border restrictions. But recently I had to make this journey, so I’ll share my story with all you curious travelers.

Hello, fellow travelers or curious procrastinators, I’m Lisa, JoinMyTrip’s Lead Designer. Born and raised in Perth, Australia, and having lived in Melbourne for 7 years, I may just be the JoinMyTrip employee who has ventured the furthest to now reside in Germany. After one and a half years of not seeing my fellow Australians, a sudden incident in my family has caused me to make the very quick decision to travel home to Australia.
