Volcano Boarding
In 2014 I went on an “adventure” group trip to Central America with an acquaintance. She had been looking for someone she knows that would be willing to come along, and I said “Why not”. I happened to have a few thousand in my bank account, the leftovers from a small inheritance I had received about 10 years prior. It felt like a rare opportunity to see a new slice of the world, covering a variety of countries from Costa Rico to Guatemala, doing something I normally wouldn’t do. A private bus and local tour guide would ferry the group from location to location every 1-2 days. In each new spot there was usually a menu of activities catering to “adventure” tourists like us: Rappelling, wild water rafting, ziplining, or volcano boarding.
