As a writer, I feel it’s my duty to live the biggest life possible by experiencing new uncharted waters.

With no idea what to expect walking through that door; I [...]

I heard Jaco was unsafe, dangerous, and a non-stop party; translation: my kind of place. Although, I seek all the beautiful enlightened things in life; it’s when I am scared shit-less that I feel most alive. Some people find character on Mountain tops and Ocean floors, others in the dark recesses of the night; very [...]

The Water-taxi that turned Death into Zen. I love all means of transport, it sounded like a brilliant idea at the time; avoid a 4 hour shuttle bus to Jaco by taking a 1 hour water-taxi from Montezuma. Walking to the beach, I was filled with anticipation and excitement. The first thing our captain said [...]

Traveling by the seat of my pants, with no reservations, plans, or agenda; I always expect a few bumps in the road.

When my heart feels the sad longing for beaches and sunsets of Costa Rica; a good rant will bring a nostalgic smile to my soul. The eternity of stars twinkling wonder from above; I gazed in complete merriment. I miss the ever present smell of mysterious warmth flowing freely from the Ocean; the multitude of [...]

So here I am in Costa Rica with a gang full of new best friends that I made overnight. There was absolutely no question about whether or not we were going to hit the town each and every night to paint the sky red with laughter and mirth. Amongst the gang, there is always a [...]

The following is what I wrote in my moleskin journal right after my second surf lesson. Once you turn in and actually ride the wave before the break, words can’t describe the true feeling of complete awe inspiring Zen; this can only give you an idea of how I felt.

It’s Monday morning, the Giants just pulled off the biggest Super Bowl upset of all time; for obvious reasons I have no clear and decisive thoughts to share with my audience.
