Day one of Alan’s Costa Rican Adventure! What a trip

30/10/2026

🇨🇷 DAY ONE OF THE COSTA RICA FAM… AND WHAT A DAY! 🤩🌴

We started bright and early, meeting at 6.30am, ready for the three-hour drive to our put-in point, where we would meet our guides for the day. Our destination? Pacuare Lodge for the next two nights!

Now, this is no ordinary lodge… Pacuare Lodge is tucked away right next to the river, and the ONLY way to get there is by white-water rafting in! 🚣‍♀️

What an experience! We split into three groups and headed down the river, and everyone had to get stuck in. Such an incredible way to arrive somewhere! On reaching the lodge, we were greeted with dry towels and welcome drinks – just perfect after our adventure.

And my room… WOW! 😍 A beautiful detached lodge complete with an outdoor shower. Sam would LOVE it! I had a quick relax in the hammock (which could easily become my new favourite spot!) before heading over to the restaurant for lunch.

When you stay here, activities are included, so there was no time to sit around for long! This afternoon we headed up into the treetops for canopy walking and zip-lining. What a rush! 🌳🪂 Definitely an afternoon to remember.

After all that excitement, it was back to the main lodge for a well-earned b**r, a shower and a delicious dinner. And then… I pretty much passed out! 😂

With a six-hour time difference and another 6am wake-up call ahead, I think we were ALL ready for bed!

What a first day. Costa Rica, you’re already showing off! ❤️

Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings…

🌴✈️ Alan’s Costa Rica adventure has begun! 🇨🇷

Yesterday, Alan set off on his very first FAM trip with our amazing partners — and what a start! 😍

Business Class flights, a fabulous lounge with a wall full of Whispering Angel (Tina is VERY jealous! 😂🍾), lie-flat beds, delicious food and endless drinks. What a way to travel!

After arriving on time, Alan headed to , a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of San José, for some well-earned rest before the adventure began.

An early start today, heading to Pacuare Lodge… but there’s a twist! The only way to get there is by river, so white-water rafting it is! 🚣‍♂️🌊

Follow along for more updates from this incredible Costa Rican adventure! 🌿💚

Although I work with my husband and have him to sound off to, it’s always lovely to catch up with my TC friends, and that’s exactly what I did this weekend! 🥰

Katie May and I both headed up north to visit my business partner and long-time friend, Cathy Chapman. We spent the weekend talking business, catching up, enjoying a lovely few hours in Durham and, of course, eating everything in sight! 😂🍰🍽️

It’s amazing having your own business and the flexibility of working from home, but the friendships I’ve made along the way are what make this job even more special. ❤️

Now, it’s time to get back to reality and catch up on some work! 💻☕️
