W Hotel Costa Rica: Influencer Stay

The W Costa Rica gives female entrepreneurs the perfect escape for a girl’s weekend and showcase the best of what Costa Rica has to offer - adventure, rejuvenation, tranquility, and inspiration. 🌴

I cried about 4 times from happiness and gratitude on this unforgettable retreat to W Costa Rica thanks to @billkaelinmarketing - being able to see hard work become a reality, meeting such extraordinary like-minded women from all over the country and Costa Rica, and how a digital art form can take you to places you never imagined going to.🤳✈️🥹

This influencer trip allowed us to provide travel advice, recommendations, and connecting IRL with locals who taught us all about their country, customs, and traditions. 🛫🧳🗺️📍 Huge thank you to Anne, Kennedy, and Bill Kaelin Marketing for allowing us to create content for such an amazing hotel and for consistently uplifting and empowering women while having a focus on authentic conversations online and offline 🙏💖

Here are some snapshots of our trip:

5️⃣ things I learned in Costa Rica

1️⃣ IT’S A BLUE ZONE: Nicoya is one of five regions in the world where people are speculated to live longer than average due to a combination of healthy life factors.

2️⃣ SPANISH PHRASES: Some words that will always stick with me - “CELESTE” means light blue and is the name of one of my new fav friends on the trip; food is “BRUTALE” if it’s delicious 🦋🤤🌯

3️⃣ SPIRIT ANIMALS: Sydney brought some amazing oracle cards that got me thinking about what our sightings of creatures could mean in our life. I saw a vulture 🦅which symbolizes new beginnings / transformation, a raccoon 🦝 for adpability/flexibility, and an iguana 🦎 for stillness/observation. Look up the symbolism for any animal you see in the wild that captivates your attention! 🐇🦔

4️⃣ USE B-12 EVERY DAY: I squirted a dropper of it every day on my tongue and it kept the mosquitoes 🦟 away!! (thanks Syd) Normally I get eaten alive every time I go to a topical country. Also, I actually like green juice now so I’m just the epitome of health now 😂

5️⃣ YOUR BODY KEEPS THE SCORE: If you love and embrace your body, nourish your mind/spirit, your mental health can soar upwards and in turn, will help your physical health. If you’re carrying any negative emotions towards yourself or others, it really is going to impact how sick you might feel. Read the book 📚 to learn more about yourself and connecting to your body 🩻🧠
