Cardboard box

He was lying near the bonding company on a cardboard box that he slept on every night in a neighboring parking lot.

My family and I had traveled to Europe in the past and experienced the famous tourist sites and cultures. In all of these tourist places, English was widely spoken and it was easy to get around, order food and find our way round. Costa Rica: safe, peaceful, adventurous, and a tourist haven.
