I traveled to many places around the globe, always looking for new landscapes and experiences. But something happened the day I set a foot on Santa Teresa, suddenly I just felt at home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> Here I never expected to see too many people from my country, my beloved France, but gladly and to my surprise, I was wrong.<br \/>\nIt is funny when you think that maybe I would have never met these fellow countrymen if I would stay in France, but here they are in Costa Rica and I am really happy when I receive visits.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> One special case is the visits I received a month ago, the lovely Leroux Lefranc family,  they came all the way from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine, looking for surf lessons here in Santa Teresa. They instantly booked lessons for all the family members.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> As a lonely soul, I really appreciate what they make me feel that day, being part of a big family. All that love flowing between the family was really warming my heart. As a surf instructor, I always try to connect with my pupils, but this time It was different, the experience of teaching a whole family was something wonderful for me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_589\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-589\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.costaricasurfandsup.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/familyfrench-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.costaricasurfandsup.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/familyfrench-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"554\" class=\"size-full wp-image-589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.costaricasurfandsup.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/familyfrench-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.costaricasurfandsup.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/familyfrench-1-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.costaricasurfandsup.com\/sitio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/familyfrench-1-768x473.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-589\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thanks to Francois, Catherine, Louise, Alexandre, and Adelle, I&#8217;ll see you next year, can not wait!!<br \/><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From France with love I was born to be a traveler and I was never quite comfortable being at the same place.
