Y’all, let me introduce you to Barb—a true adventurer in the making. On our recent trip to Costa Rica, Barb experienced quite a few “firsts.” Her first massage, some first-time heart-to-heart conversations, and a few other firsts that are best kept between us. But the biggest and most daring first? Taking a leap—literally—off a cliff into a waterfall.

It was a beautiful thing to witness. Our resident thrill-seeker, Amy, set the tone, scaling the rocks and diving off like it was second nature. Suddenly, I spotted Barb up there too, looking out over the edge with determination, even as nerves clearly held her back a little. Amy, ever the fearless guide, patiently coached her from below, demonstrating the jump once more to show her it was possible.

And there Barb stood, taking her time on the rock, summoning the courage for this big leap. Our whole group was in the water, cheering her on. I stood on the sidelines, offering quiet encouragement as Barb readied herself. She whispered a final prayer, took a deep breath—and then, with a sense of resolve, she took the plunge.

This is exactly what makes traveling with a group of like-minded women so powerful. Barb came to Costa Rica solo. So did Amy. In fact, most of us arrived knowing no one. But by the end, we felt like family—cheering each other on, diving into new experiences, and sharing so many laughs, we lost count. Moments like these are what make traveling with the LILLES unforgettable.
