You\u2019re dreaming of Costa Rica, aren’t you? I don\u2019t blame you one bit. It\u2019s a country that feels like a real-life nature documentary. The air is thick with the sound of the jungle, the colours are almost impossibly vibrant, and the national motto, \u2018Pura Vida\u2019 \u2013 the pure life \u2013 is something you can genuinely feel. It\u2019s an adventure from the moment you step off the plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But adventures, especially in wild and wonderful places, come with their own set of challenges. I remember being on a hike in a remote part of another country a while back. I was following a trail, got a bit distracted by the scenery, and took a wrong turn. It happens. But when I pulled out my phone for a quick check on the map, I saw those dreaded words: No Service. That little moment of panic, that feeling of being properly isolated, is something I\u2019ve never forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
