Description
Hi everyone! My name's harry, I will be traveling Costa Rica for the next few months and then probably head up to Nicaragua.
Originally I'm from a small coastal town in the south-east of England. Traveling has been my passion in life now for about 5 years. I love to do new things and anything different that I have never done before. I am a friendly enthusiastic guy who loves meeting new people and getting stuck into new challenges, foods and cultures.
