We recently had the pleasure of a visit from Shani, who recently turned 16. (My sister Dina’s daughter, my niece.) She has been to Nicaragua once before, but this was her first time visiting solo, travelling alone. We all had an amazing time and the trip was a HUGE success.
Best enjoyed through her camera.
