#1 International Best Seller: Trapped in paradise, it sounds like a dream come true, or is it? It only took a minute as Costa Rica closed its land, sea, and air borders. 24 days, that was all it was going to be! It had been over 19 months since I had set foot on home soil because of lockdown in Costa Rica. I held fewer possessions than I did when we moved outside of the U.S., and that was only a couple of suitcases. However, in my backpack was a broken computer holding my diary. Aware that lockdown in Central America was way different than what my friends and family had experienced in the United States, it was interesting to see people's responses as I told parts of our journey. Now here is the twist. Maybe it was just because the sales lady at Victoria's Secret was so intrigued, she offered to buy me a cup of coffee if I would tell her the rest of the story. Or maybe it was because lockdown in Costa Rica was just so different. This had even become more apparent after my return stateside. I don't know exactly what it was, but at that very moment, I decided 110% I was going to publish my writings. Walking out of the store, I went down the street and bought a new computer so I could finish this book. One thing is for sure, I stepped way out of my comfort zone when I unlocked this one. With the pandemic and travel being hot topics, a side of government control, and social media censorship, these words were never meant to see the light of day. But what can I say, this travel author will never look at international travel the same after experiencing, "228 Days Trapped in Paradise". Go click Read Now or Buy Now to begin your journey.
