One of the scariest things I've ever done was crossing a bridge over a deep river gorge in the jungles of Thailand. There was a single cable to stand and walk on and 2 cables to use as hand rails. Firstly I am scared of heights and this was from 1 side of a jungle mountain to the other high above trees and a white water river below which I white water rafted on, it was awesome. The bridge was about 200 meters long and the further in you got the harder it was to get across. to do so you had to pull each cable towards your body to tighten and make it "easier" to cross. With the fear of heights, concentration and the sheer physical fatigue you suffer from doing so,it is so hard and draining. I ended up pushing the cables out which made the bridge very unstable and I was on the verge of falling off. I was strapped to a line but still VERY scary. I had never experienced sheer fear like that before. I was so tired. I made it across without falling off the bridge. If I knew that's what I was in for, I would NEVER have done it. I thought it was a straight forward bridge to cross but it was physical torture. Never again!
I have literally been on the same chocolate tour, same bridge (did you hear about the bullet ants??), and the same hotel/tent/lodge thing, it's so weird to see everything again after two years! When we were there we went rafting as well, which was amazing!
When Jamie sang Leaving on a Jet Plane, I had goose bumps all over. Was so not expecting her to sing that. My husband sent it to me when he was on his way to Afghanistan for his deployment. Seems like forever to go.
Hey Awesome job. You are seriously the biggest inspiration ever. I want to go outside and travel the world and its amazing. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Costa Rica looks gorgeous! So jealous of your adventures Ben. Also, Jamie is so so sick at singing. Can't believe she sang those two songs - they are my absolute favourites!
You went to La Tirimbina?! I spent my spring break there 2 years ago helping out with butterfly research! It's gorgeous there, especially once you get into the rainforest. The bridge was one of my favorite parts!
Your trip looks like it's been a blast, and Costa Rica looks beautiful. Are you guys going to Earth University? I'm definitely going to plan to go to Costa Rica now.
Great job Ben ! Costa Rica is such a beautiful place ! I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your daily vlogs and whatever Costa Rica Vibes that come out of your experiences there. Those of us on Twitter and Instagram are really enjoying all of the posts being uploaded by your fellow Storytellers as well. Different people with different point of view, but one common theme: its a beautiful adventure to a beautiful place. Look for ya tomorrow !!
Hey Ben!!!! I Iove your videos!! Can I please ask you for a favor! Name five places of Costa Rica that you loved the must!? Please? It's for a Spanish assignment and you've inspired me!! 😁👍👍
I was in the cacao place for my 6th grade field trip! (I'm costarican) I cannot believe I've been in the same place as you, not to mention I am breathing the same air right now haha. Love you Ben!
I saw that you added some chilli to the hot chocolate, and I wanted to ask if maybe you have tryed chilli brownie? :) It's delichious, you have to try this!!
