#1 International Best Seller:
Trapped in paradise, it sounds like a dream come true, or is it? It only took a minute as Costa Rica closed its land, sea, and air borders. 24 days, that was all it was going to be!
It had been over 19 months since I had set foot on home soil because of lockdown in Costa Rica. I held fewer possessions than I did when we moved outside of the U.S., and that was only a couple of suitcases. However, in my backpack was a broken computer holding my diary.
Aware that lockdown in Central America was way different than what my friends and family had experienced in the United States, it was interesting to see people’s responses as I told parts of our journey.
Now here is the twist. Maybe it was just because the sales lady at Victoria’s Secret was so intrigued, she offered to buy me a cup of coffee if I would tell her the rest of the story. Or maybe it was because lockdown in Costa Rica was just so different. This had even become more apparent after my return stateside.
I don’t know exactly what it was, but at that very moment, I decided 110% I was going to publish my writings. Walking out of the store, I went down the street and bought a new computer so I could finish this book.
One thing is for sure, I stepped way out of my comfort zone when I unlocked this one. With the pandemic and travel being hot topics, a side of government control, and social media censorship, these words were never meant to see the light of day. But what can I say, this travel author will never look at international travel the same after experiencing, ‘228 Days Trapped in Paradise’.

About the author
Nikki Page is a loving wife, a mother of four children, and a loyal daughter. Born and raised in Fort Collins Co. It was always her dream to travel and live internationally. In 2015 Nikki and her husband Steve quit their jobs and sold everything they owned so they could move to Costa Rica. Sounds like the craziest thing in the world to most. To her, it was about living life to the fullest. The rewards for this choice are priceless. She became a #1 International Bestselling author by self-publishing her first book, ‘Cut The Crap & Move To Costa Rica, A How-to Guide Based On These Gringos Experience.’ This initial work provided the tools and information for readers to move to ‘The Happiest Place in the World.’ Her next book, ‘The Ultimate Costa Rica Cookbook: Healthy, Quick, & Easy Meals’ not only hit the Best Sellers list, it went on hitting #1 New Release on Amazon overnight. It teaches readers about local produce, provides cost-effective recipes, and includes health benefits of eating whole foods. Nikki’s third offering, ‘228 Days Trapped in Paradise: The Diary of an Expat Chica in Costa Rica’ provides readers a glimpse into life as an expat during a worldwide pandemic.
