Eco-Spa, on the cheap
When I first entered business school, I intended to concentrate in eco-tourism. See, I had this business plan for an Eco-Ranch, and I concocted the whole notion while in Ireland running an equestrian center, feeling so good to be using my body again and getting my hands dirty, after 4 years in NYC startups / 70-hour-office-job-weeks.
Therefore, once in grad school in DC, I networked in with all the eco-tourism players that be, and before I knew it, I was off to an eco-lodge in Costa Rica to consult.
Now, did this place offer massage, water with cucumbers, or pedicures? Absolutely not. But did my body-mind-spirit feel amazing after returning? Absolutely.
My butt was massaged with the amazing horse back ride, my arms were massaged with white water rapids, my legs by climbing trees on a pulley, my spirit soured through the trees on a zip line, my soul melted with the squirrel that had breakfast on my shoulder each morning, and my mind was calmed with the crazy hospitality of our host.
If you want to visit Selva Bananito, let me know, and I will ask the owner to get you all set up. (Here are the full set of photos.)
Off to dream of foreign lands and warm weather.. Jen
