"When in Rome!"⠀
⠀
Really enjoyed learning about the production, picking, and processing of coffee beans in Costa Rica. With a climate ideal for growth, they have been a powerhouse in the industry for over a century. Most gourmet coffee here is exported, but companies like Café Britt are working to keep some of the best roasts domestic for locals and visitors to enjoy. I'm hooked!⠀

I hate to sound like a broken record, but this is

I hate to sound like a broken record, but this is a final warning that applications for our guided trips in California, Washington, and West Virginia close TODAY (@andrewskurka). If you wanted to apply for a trip to Utah, Colorado, or Alaska the ship has sailed (but you can still get on the waitlist). ⠀
⠀
Why do I feel the need to post about this? Partially because I want everyone who is interested in these trips to get the opportunity, and partially because I know they will fill up. As of last week, the total number of applications are up 70-80% over the 2020 season and 10-15 percent over the 2021 season (which was inflated because of 2020 cancellations). This means that very few spots, if any, will remain once the dust settles. ⠀
⠀
Start on your 2022 goals and prepare for some adventure! 🔥 ⠀

Oh, hello! These guys had a lot to say during our visit to the Toucan Rescue Ranch outside of San Jose.

Beginning as a sloth sanctuary in 2004, they now provide care, rehabilitation, and release of toucans, macaws, ocelots, spider monkeys, and more, in addition to sloths. They do great work! ⠀

CLOSING TODAY!⠀
⠀
Applications for our @andrewskurka guided trips in Utah, Colorado, and Alaska close at the end of the day today, December 27. If you are interested in California, Washington, or West Virginia, you have until Monday, January 3.⠀
⠀
Everyone who applies during the open enrollment period is given equal consideration and is very likely to get a spot on their First Choice location. If you apply after today, there is a much smaller chance because a) most trips are full, and b) clients have already been matched with other like-abled hikers, meaning you would have fit into one of those pre-established groups, which may not be possible.⠀
⠀
We're also offering Wilderness First Aid certification on select trips in partnership with the UNM International Mountain Medical Center. What better way to learn the basics of wilderness medicine than during a backpacking trip?⠀
⠀
Get those applications in at AndrewSkurka.com, and hit me up with any questions! ⠀

We met Laury and Bruce from Juneau, AK while hiking around the Arenal Volcano in La Fortuna. We had stopped to listen to the distinctive call of a Montezuma Oropendula and realized we were all wearing @pathprojects shorts! ⠀
⠀
Though the volcano was obscured by rain clouds, it was great hiking and chatting with our new adventurous friends. I hope to be like them when I grow up!⠀
