Pura vida. When you're travelling in Costa Rica you hear these two words all the time. Pura vida. And these two pictures describe that feeling perfectly. This stunner of a swimming pool belongs to the Lagarta Lodge, a great boutique hotel in Nosara, Guanacaste. The owners don't only own the hotel, but also the jungle as far as the eye can see, protecting it and keeping it a safe and natural place for wildlife and flora.

Little piece of paradise in Costa Rica. Actually, this whole country is made up of little pieces of paradise.

Black and white early morning light.
This picture was taken in Nghia Lo, in the countryside of northern Vietnam. I spent the night in a homestay and got up very early (because of other people in the homestay snoring quite loudly). I was enjoying the sunrise over the mountains when I spotted this lady on her bike, catching the first rays of sun that lit up her face.

So, my trip to northern Vietnam has come to an end. Need to let it sink in now. I was hoping to be blown away, but maybe my expectations were too high. I got lucky with the weather in the rice paddy area, I didn't get that lucky in Hà Long Bay unfortunately (despite this heavily Photoshopped picture). Hanoi was interesting, but crazy and loud. Foodwise I got a tad disappointed (again, very high expectations). I saw very pretty landscapes, but definitely not everywhere. Not so sure if I would go back there again. But glad to have been there.
