The hot permeating red sky soaks the sea with a sailor’s beauty of never-ending horizons and soft present dreams; illuminating a lust for more, for more, for more…
The crimson darkening purple sky inviting onlookers to sit peacefully and marvel as the scent of the free Ocean fills the soul; soothing the [...]

I’m by no means a bible thumper; I could’ve made a career out of sinning. Yet, in all the bad things I have ever done, I never lost faith in something more pure and beautiful that guides the world to make it a better place. I have hit rock bottom more then any aging rock [...]

Sometimes I forget to look at the mountains. It happens while walking through the high-rise buildings in the concrete jungle of Vancouver with my mind running with the everyday thoughts and chatter. I will peer down the street and see them gracefully sitting there; high above the city standing snowcapped and exquisite. It hits me [...]

I remember sitting in my grade six classroom staring out the window dreaming of basketball, star wars, and my grade six crush. I looked around the classroom and wondered if any of the other kids were actually paying attention to what the teacher was saying. My wandering imagination has always been more fascinating to me [...]

The Alchemist is my all time favorite book; by my favorite writer Paulo Coelho. One of the best presents I have ever received, is a first edition signed copy of The Alchemist. This book is my heart and soul, and I try to share it with as many people as possible. If you haven’t read [...]

La Botella de Leche is an amazing 5 star hostel located in beautiful Tamarindo beach Costa Rica. From the funky cow décor to the bean bag common room; my initial impression was that this isn’t your average hostel filled with rules and regulations. This was a paradise for the free spirit; a special place where [...]

The beauty of Tamarindo beach is remarkable. Never have I been to a beach as soft, soothing and desolate as the one I found in Tamarindo: perfect for beach lovers, surfers, sun-worshipers, and practitioners of the art of doing nothing. A short walk left or right and you can stake a claim to your own [...]

The first sign you see when arriving in Costa Rica reads as follows. “Welcome to Costa Rica: Any sexual activity with a minor is punishable by imprisonment.” It was not the welcoming sign I was expecting to see; I had clearly entered a third world country that was very far from home.
The airport in Liberia [...]

This is my favorite poem Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson. A truly inspiring piece of literature that I love to share. This poem is Ulysses last speech to his Mariners inviting them to keep traveling towards the unknown horizon and continue living a life of adventure to the very end. The finishing line “To Strive, To [...]

Seven Days and counting to Costa Rica…I can feel the fear setting in a little more each day: a little hint of the unknown before me. With every journey to a new unknown place; you must realise one thing. Something that is scary to most people. When you leave, everything around you is going to [...]

Nothing beats a great used book store that is filled with the owner’s love and passion for books. My favorite book store in all the world is Dark Horse Books in Victory BC. The owner Robert is straight out of a Kerouac novel. An old time hippie who can tell you real stories about Haight-Ashbury, travelling, and much more. [...]
