My travel experience in Costa Rica has topped all of my other travels. It was inspiring and exhilarating and filled with new experiences. We woke up no later than 6:00am every day to see all that we could see in this beautiful country and went to bed no later than 9:00pm to be well rested for the next day&#8217;s adventures.

We woke up no later than 6:00am every day to see all that we could see in this beautiful country and went to bed no later than 9:00pm to be well rested for the next day&#8217;s adventures. This is the <b>only<\/b> way to travel because it&#8217;s the only way to experience every ounce of goodness that a new place in the world has to show and offer you. I took over 1,600 photos in one week &#8211; I think this trip is the beginning of the National Geographic edition of my photography &#8211; I can&#8217;t wait to share all of them with you.  I&#8217;ll blog more about individual adventures as I post photos relevant to those adventures.<\/p>\n<p>The photo below is of me and my love at the Tocori Falls. We rode beautiful Costa Rican horses to get to a trail in the jungle (and I mean a serious jungle), then hiked up the trail to arrive at the falls, where we bathed, swam, and took photos. There are only so many words you can use to describe experiences like this and it&#8217;s really quite hard to express the magnificence of it all. It is the very reason that I take as many photos as I do because I believe that photos and words together bring you as close to the experience as you can get.<\/p>\n<p>More photos to come. :)<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/charleneprecious.com\/blog\/this-is-how-you-travel-july-30-2012\/07-30-12\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10790\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/64.91.231.52\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/07.30.12.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"07.30.12\" width=\"550\" height=\"810\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10790\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/07.30.12.jpg 550w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/07.30.12-204x300.jpg 204w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>This is how you travel. - Charlene Precious Co.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/this-is-how-you-travel-july-30-2012\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"This is how you travel. - Charlene Precious Co.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"My travel experience in Costa Rica has topped all of my other travels.
