Costa Rica

Costa Rica feels like an oasis. When I visited, it was just the escape I needed from the bustle of everyday life: I felt safe, but also completely removed, and as a nature-lover, I felt totally grounded in my surroundings. I went off the grid for a full seven days, going hiking in the rainforests, and ending each day soaking in the hot springs created by volcanic thermal activity. I found a home away from home there, and have been plotting a permanent move since I returned. —Meg Reinhardt, Contributing Photo Editor, City Guides
