One enthusiastic tourist from Germany decided recently to capture his trip to Costa Rica in a very unique (and modern) fashion: though hundreds of self portraits.

According to a recent article in the Tico Times, this traveller took the usual tourist photography to a new level. Dubbed “selfies” on social media, these photos portray artist and photographer Tim Panse in various forms during his 23-day journey from New York City to Costa Rica and back again. Whether he was in transit, snorkeling in Costa Rica’s blue waters, exploring beaches, zip lining through the country’s rainforest or taking a moment to relax with a cold cerveza, Panse didn’t fail to capture a single experience.

The trip resulted in 1,000 selfies, which he strung together into a video about his epic vacation. Viewers get glimpses of his idyllic Costa Rica vacation and all his various activities throughout the country.
