As I´ve shared on my stories on IG and FB, I move As I´ve shared on my stories on IG and FB, I moved to Monteverde temporarily 🌿🧳 and it has been a blessing and a challenge at the same time. Anyone who lives here can describe this place as a 💗magical forest, mystic mountain, full of healing and peace. 🙏💫But there´s something even more interesting about this place...most of the people I´ve met came from the city looking for something else and have found even more than they expected. 

Monteverde, magical as it is, puts you on test everyday. 🤷‍♀️I have no idea how but once you come here, you stop being the same person you were...it makes things happen around and inside you, things you couldn´t even imagine you were able to feel: 🥀 from deep pain, hard loneliness, grief, profound thankfulness  to an incredible strength, peace and so much love for life and for people you care the most. 🌹

Monteverde has changed my life forever. 🤩I don´t even have words to explain how mystic it is. I have felt the deepest pain in my life but also the most beautiful joy and spiritual connection with nature and myself. 🤝 It hasn´t been easy, on the contrary...every week I have had different challenges but when you walk inside the forest, sometimes foggy, sometimes sunny, sometimes warm, sometimes cold, windy...you start getting the answers you need to overcome whatever it is you´re feeling. It takes time but once you understand it, you let it flow despite confussion and grieving. 🙏💗

You just have to be open to feel every bit of whatever Monteverde gives you: sadness, joy, nostalgia, happiness, pain, excitement, thankfulness, love, peace and most of all trust that whatever happens, everything will be okay.

🍃💐🌞🌚✨If you come to visit, make sure your heart and soul are open to feel nothing and all at the same time...to appreciate life and the ones who are still around you or in your heart, no matter how hard the path may be.

💖💗PAIN IS INEVITABLE BUT SUFFERING IS OPTIONAL💗💖
💗Trogons! I didn´t think I would be that inter 💗Trogons! I didn´t think I would be that interested in birds but I´ve been living in Monteverde for the past 8 months 🤩 My house is in the middle of the forest... 🍃and I´ve been having this two visitors regularly on the window of my room. 🥰Funny thing is that after I took the picture of the male trogon, he flew away and a couple of seconds later, the female stayed in the same branch and position as the male. 🤩 What are the chances for that?! 🤯I was lucky enough to have my camera in the bedroom and took these pictures to share how incredible animals can be. 

Not only they´re gorgeous species, family of the famous quetzales 😍 but they haven´t really cared when I open the window slowly every time they visit me just to stare at them.....🤓they watch me back and after a couple of minutes with what I love to imagine is telepathy (jaaaaa) they fly away to the wilderness. 💖

Snowy Iceland!! I remember this day with so much j Snowy Iceland!! I remember this day with so much joy....I was in a roadtrip around Iceland for almost a month..it was almost my birthday, started to snow as a gift from heaven, stopped the car and went outside. Since I'm crazy about snow, i danced under the storm, i laughed and jumped until it was too cold to stay there. At night, we tried to light some candles with crayons, ate pizza and spent the afternoon wondering of the future. Time flies and things change, I love to think more in a good way than a bad way.

Nature is refugee but a home is too. I´ve been thinking lately about how traveling was a way of running away from a reality I didn´t want to face. It then turned into passion and a tool that has allowed me to rediscover a Criss who wants to experience things like having a home, a family and a sanctuary I can come to. Sometimes, when I see all this pictures, I can see how much I´ve grown, learned and it makes sense that at this point in life, I don´t romanticize travelling like I used to. It´s a passion and a way that has helped me be more aware of my insecurities but somehow, it also feels overwhelming.I guess we all change and feel tired of not having much stability, community and adapting faster to cultures, environments, new people, new job, new routine can also be a struggle.Has any other traveler encountered in the same situation? If so, what would be your advice to regain some balance and build a support network around? I still have to stay in this beautiful place for a while! #traveloverwhelm #traveleradvice #travellearning #tirednomad #expatchallenge #expatadvice ... Ver masVer menos

❤Peru❤ There are some places I will never forget, specially how they made me feel. 🤯Peru was the first country I visited in South America. It was my first time in a desert and in a glacier. It was also the first trip where I photographed people and felt connected with them. Feeling the sand beneath my feet, getting to the top of a dune, learning of their ancestors, hearing peruvians speaking quechua. It was dreamy for a girl in her 20's, desperate to discover the world. Every time I take myself back in time, I can still smile from the joy. ✨Those magical images and sensations are some of my happy places. I take my mind there whenever feel scared of something. Traveling has become more than visiting or roaming around....it has been the way I discover what it feels to be alive. Do you ever feel this way with a memory? Criss Rojas ... Ver masVer menos

🍁Hello Canada! First of all I want to thank all the people who have been supporting me throughout this journey...🥰and I want to share this story because it´s been a massive learning process for me and it could be useful for any traveler out there: fear of the unknown and definitely getting out of a comfort zone. 💟I applied for a canadian working visa before Covid....then the pandemic hit and until 2021, I was able to continue the process. Finally, last year I got approved but wasn´t counting on so many things happening around: moving from the mountains to the city, unexpected deaths, legal paperwork, juggling with 2 jobs, another change of house, so much stress, traveling back and forth and not really for pleasure (although I did have fun), etc.....And after so many years of waiting, I was finally able to come! 😎 My plans changed, just like life changes all the time because I found harmony and felt really connected with my life partner, Pilsen (the black silly dog) and Luna (the cozy and moody white cat). 💟 I had to leave them in the US for a while cause all of us moving here wasn´t really a choice, and US is definitely a temporary situation since we really don´t like it for a permanent home. Home will always be Costa Rica 💟 (love traveling but in love with the tico paradise).At the end, Canada felt just like the right opportunity to be able to reunite with them in the upcoming months, get on the road again as a solo traveler to rediscover myself and start building community in a new town! 😍💙I can´t really complain! I´ve been here for almost a week and found a cozy place to call home, my roomates are awesome and I found a nice job to entertain myself! But the first 3 days I was freaking scared...I guess I was just so happy with my family that this seemed not like the right plan anymore. 😟❤️So I´ve been learning (or relearning) a few things that think can be useful for any traveler who feels anxiety, fear to take a leap of faith on an adventure:✅Don´t take any decisions during an emotional crisis, you´re probably going to be impulsive and not give the chance to experience what could be a really interesting journey (with ups and downs).✅If you don´t feel like a plan fits you anymore, have thought about changing it and the answer is the same when you feel calmer after a couple of days: then change your plans. It doesnt matter what people says, your life is a unique adventure and it´s too beautiful to spend it somewhere you don´t feel right.✅Mental health should always be a priority in life: Find a professional who can give you tools to manage your emotions in a healthier way and provide support.✅Find a community: Whenever you move to a new place, loneliness can be awful but it really helps when you make new connections and share with other fellow travelers or locals.✅Treat yourself with compassion and respect: You are a unique human being who deserves inner peace and remember that everything comes from the inside. If you´re not giving yourself a nice and compassionate treat, you can´t expect others to do the same or for you to give others that.✅Find hobbies, explore around and look for any interesting activity that you enjoy: Doing exercise, walking, hiking, biking, going to the gym, anything that makes your body moves, will help it to produce natural endorphins which contribute to your well being and will also keep your mind busy and excited.✅Eat healthy and right: I found myself too tired this past days and its probably because I´m adjusting to a new diet and not really eating that much. So I still have to improve this point but I´m getting there soon!✅The way you treat your body and mind matters: Have a negative thought? Change it for something positive. Connect with life through abundance and not lack. For example: I miss my family so much, my job is shitty or this person was horrible to me. Well yes, everyone misses people when travelling but this is temporary and it can change any minute so enjoy the journey with ups and downs and learn from it....you´re not dependant on anyone in life, you decide to share your life with people but you´re also allow to spend time on your own. Your job is shitty? Change it! As impossible as it seems, you´ll never know whats available until you start looking for it! A person was horrible to you?? You won´t be able to control what other people do to you but you can control your words and actions......make sure not to be on the same level as them and learn to be more assertive. What goes around, comes around.I can keep writing more and more cause this first week was an emotional challenge for me, even with the amazing opportunity I have, even with my tica friend around who is INCREDIBLE and even with a lot of support from el macho at a distance.❤️Your mind is powerful baby.....let´s thrive through the waves of storm together until the peace comes and you can find the best for you: either staying or moving somewhere else. At the end, that´s the beauty of life: you can always CHANGE AND GROW. ❤️PS 1: If you feel someone needs to remember this, or can be useful to anybody, feel free to share. ❤️PS 2: One of the pictures has a mouse welcoming me at the aiport jejejeje, you cannot believe how people screamed around me. The airline agent didn´t know what to do....I just felt bad for the poor mouse...being in the wrong place 😅 He didn´t have any good hiding skills jajajaPS 3: Canada is just BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven´t seen a bear yet jajajaj, but I will..... Criss Rojas #canada #alberta #canmore #traveltips #travelmentalhealth #travellearning ... Ver masVer menos

(Spanish version below)💗TRAVELER'S THOUGHTS AND CHANGE! This trip I am on has turned out contrary to what I expected. The fears I had, vanished and the ones I didn't, suddenly surprised me. My abandoned travel blog reminds me how much I love to write and ironically, it has made me remember the last 5 years of my life as a whirlwind of reckless decisions. Some very happy and others with learnings. Anyway, being someone who loves to travel and share my photographs to inspire, I also want to recount the greatest discovery I've made to date during an impromptu train ride. It will sound strange and contradictory but it gives a transformation (for the better) to this project and to my life. Maybe some other adventurous soul like me can relate and know that it's okay:I don't want to be a traveler anymore. At least not in the same way as before. I perceive travel differently. I want a sanctuary where I can arrive and do nothing, where I can laugh, cry and enjoy myself with Pilsen and those who want to be in my life.I love to travel and the desire to see the world will not go away but there are many ways to do it. I no longer want to be a nomad with no north and no direction, wandering. I want to be free and not a slave on the journey, surviving. I want to photograph for pleasure, to see the contrasts and keep learning without that meaning abandoning everything and everyone, as it has been in the last few years; lost without knowing I was.I thought that traveling for long periods of time, adrift, without a plan, goals, without taking into account important people around me and the future, was the freedom I dreamed of. But in this life, everything has a base and I have discovered that mine is called home. One that for many reasons and personal mistakes, I have not been able to keep well, and traveling on this train, I see it clearer than ever.I want to be a crazy, happy traveler, who can enjoy the beauty of lying on a couch hugging the blankets watching a movie, without doing anything else, in a home; just as I have enjoyed the adventure and uncertainty at the time.I want to be a traveler who, when she travels to see the world, laughs and ruffles her hair in the wind for the pleasure of knowing that she is doing it to enjoy life and not because of fear or to hide and run away. I want to know that at the end of the chosen route, alone or accompanied, I will feel the joy of returning home to rest, remember what I have lived and smile for sharing. I want to be a traveler who flies to the rhythm of harmony where the freedom of others begins.I feel different and I didn't know how much. The things I once thought I wanted, I no longer want, the things I thought were non-negotiable, today they are.I discover that with every decision I make today, I build tomorrow's future. And how scared I am of being wrong. Then I can only think that I want to be another kind of traveler, always passionate but not like that anymore.I want a sanctuary of stories, music, photos, joy, where I can sit and watch and share memories, not think about anything or choose the next adventure without rushing or pressure for the right amount of time.And with this I say to myself: Fly, honey, fly, but fly with a north. You don't have to run away or hide anymore. It's all right.It is not wrong to want something else. We all change and transform ourselves with time, we never stop, we only evolve. Those who were, are and will be, are an important part of what we discover and in my case, today I want to be and be present.Fly, my dear, fly. Return to what you call home. You don't have to run or hide anymore. You are ready. All will be well. All is well.And with these thoughts, I begin to close a stage of insecurities, fears and abandonment in my life and open the door to being and being. This is something I had not been able to internalize but I guess when we break down a wall and heal a major life wound, we get to value and visualize what we have not been able to support over time. So, you can always travel and there are no wrongs. We just have to find the one that best suits us and what we want. My travels will continue, but no longer to flee but to build and that, for me, makes the difference. 💗SPANISH💗¡PENSAMIENTO Y CAMBIO VIAJERO! Este viaje en el que ando ha salido contrario a lo que esperaba. Los miedos que tenía se esfumaron y los que no tenía, me sorprendieron de repente. Mi blog de viajes abandonado me recuerda cuánto me gusta escribir e irónicamente, me ha hecho recordar los últimos 5 años de mi vida como un torbellino atropellado de decisiones imprudentes. Unas muy felices y otras con aprendizajes. En fin, siendo alguien que le encanta viajar y compartir mis fotografías para inspirar, quiero también contar el mayor descubrimiento que he hecho hasta la fecha durante un recorrido en tren improvisado. Sonará extraño y contradictorio pero le da una transformación (para bien) a este proyecto y a mi vida. Tal vez alguna otra alma aventurera como yo, se sienta identificado y pueda saber que está bien:Ya no quiero ser viajera. Al menos no de la misma forma que antes. Percibo el viajar de manera distinta. Quiero un santuario donde llegar y no hacer nada, donde reír, llorar y disfrutar con Pilsen y con quienes quieran estar en mi vida.Amo viajar y las ganas de ver el mundo no se me quitarán pero hay muchas maneras de hacerlo. Ya no quiero ser nómada sin norte y sin rumbo, deambulando. Quiero ser libre y no esclava en el viaje, sobreviviendo. Quiero fotografiar por placer, ver los contrastes y seguir aprendiendo sin que eso signifique abandonarlo todo y a todos, como ha sido en los últimos años; perdida sin saber que lo estaba.Creía que viajar largos plazos, a la deriva, sin plan, metas, sin tomar en cuenta personas importantes a mi alrededor y el futuro, era la libertad que soñaba. Pero en esta vida todo tiene una base y he descubierto que la mía se llama hogar. Una que por muchas razones y errores personales, no he podido mantener bien, y viajando en este tren, lo vislumbro más claro que nunca.Quiero ser viajera loca, feliz, que puede disfrutar la belleza de tirarse en un sillón abrazando las cobijas viendo una peli, sin hacer nada más, en un hogar; así como he gozado la aventura y la incertidumbre en su momento.Quiero ser viajera que cuando se desplace a ver el mundo, se ríe, se despeina con el viento por el gusto de saber que lo hace por disfrutar la vida y no por miedos ó esconderse huyendo. Quiero saber que al terminar el recorrido elegido, sola ó acompañada, sentiré la dicha de regresar a casa a descansar, recordar lo vivido y sonreír por compartir. Quiero ser viajera que vuela al ritmo de la armonía donde empieza la libertad del otro.Me siento distinta y no sabía cuánto. Las cosas que una vez creí querer, ya no las quiero, las que creí que no eran negociables, hoy lo son.Descubro que con cada decisión que tome hoy, construyo el futuro de mañana. Y cuánto me asusta equivocarme. Entonces solo puedo pensar en que quiero ser otro tipo de viajera, siempre apasionada pero ya no más así.Quiero un santuario de historias, música, fotos, alegría, donde pueda sentarme a ver y compartir recuerdos, no pensar en nada ó elegir la siguiente aventura sin prisas ni presiones por el tiempo que sea adecuado.Y con esto me digo: Vuela, cariño, vuela, pero vuela con un norte. Ya no tienes que huir ó esconderte. Todo está bien.No está mal querer otra cosa. Todos cambiamos y nos vamos transformando con el tiempo, nunca paramos, solo evolucionamos. Quienes estuvieron, están y estarán, son parte importante de lo que descubrimos y en mi caso, hoy quiero ser y estar presente.Vuela, cariño, vuela. Regresa a lo que llames hogar. Ya no tienes que huir ni esconderte. Estás lista. Todo estará bien. Todo está bien.Y con estos pensamientos, comienzo a cerrar una etapa de inseguridades, miedos y abandono en mi vida y abro la puerta para ser y estar. Esto es algo que no había podido interiorizar pero supongo que cuando derrumbamos un muro y sanamos una herida de vida importante, logramos valorar y visualizar lo que no hemos podido respaldar a lo largo del tiempo. Así que, siempre se puede viajar y ninguna forma está mal. Solo hay que encontrar la que se adapte mejor a nosotros y lo que deseamos. Mis viajes seguirán pero ya no para huir sino para construir y eso, para mí, hace la diferencia. 💗 ... Ver masVer menos
