I had every intention of returning back to Costa Rica after hiking The Camino with my mom this past fall. So how did I end up in Peru?

I tried almost every pharmaceutical birth control - from the pill to the ring to the IUD. I always experienced negative side effects.

When we landed in Costa Rica, we went through immigration, and then customs. Upon going through customs, an official saw Irie in her crate.
