Idea that living in the Jungle is going to be like "Dora the Explorer" and you'll be lounging on the beach drinking mojitos. Unfortunately the wildlife all want to bite you and the shoreline is mangrove swap or sand fly infested gravel and the rivers have piranhas. Remember, this is an adventure, not a vacation in any sense of the word other than being cut off from everyone back home. I saw lots of people show up convinced they would be miserable and they were. Lots of people were optimistic about enjoying it and still struggled to find things to enjoy. It's a totally different place in a lot of ways that are difficult and it can be hard to find things you're familiar with to enjoy there, but it's definitely doable if you try and are creative. - Dec 2014
