Hi, all!
Hope you all had a relaxing Thanksgiving! I’m finally feeling like a person again after working through the BF/CM craziness, and I hope you are, too! My mind is officially tuned into December mode, and it seems Cooper's is as well.
That said, December is a very exciting month! My husband and I are going on our honeymoon later in the month! (Since he’s in medical school, we delayed it to when he has time off.) We’re headed to Costa Rica! Eep!
Has anyone been? I’m trying to figure out the best hiking gear to bring and could use recs! As a hiking newbie, I have no idea what people wear to hike in high temps and humidity.
Now for some work-related business…

Hi Marisa! Exciting honeymoon coming up, love CR! Pura Vida! Where will you be staying? I loved the cloud forest, and the hot springs at Arenal are a must. For hiking gear - I love Carhartt's Force Fitted Leggings (https://www.amazon.com/Carhartt-Womens-Stretch-Utility-Legging/dp/B0B319N94W/) and all their jackets / sweatshirts are great as well. For shoes, I liked my Adidas Terrex shoes - comfortable and not bulky. Enjoy!!
New to your substack but am on Qwoted. I can't figure out how to subscribe to your posts there? Help?!
