College graduation was approaching and when I realized that I had nothing planned for my last spring break, I knew I had to plan something. At such last-minute planning, Costa Rica was the most affordable international destination that also had lots to offer - exotic animals, tropical weather, and sandy beaches. It was the perfect getaway destination. My favorite memory is spontaneously encountering a local festival with food, dancing, and a live bull run.
