How I got the travel bug and the ensuing inspiration to be a writer

January 29th, 2008 by Jonathan

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 [...]

How to truly enjoy the breathtaking splendor of a marvelous sunset

January 22nd, 2008 by Jonathan

Only the fool compares the true beauty of a sunset or mountain top view.  They must be admired individually without any attempt to compare or contrast.  Just sit back, take a deep breath and suck it the entire splendor of the moment before you.  For me, gazing upon sunsets is a truly wonderful experience.  The [...]

La Botella de Leche party hostel in Tamarindo beach Costa Rica

January 21st, 2008 by Jonathan

 
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 [...]

Tamarindo Costa Rica is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the world.

January 20th, 2008 by Jonathan

 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 [...]

January 18th, 2008 by Jonathan

Is anyone going to Tamarindo Beach?  Never be afraid to ask for anything; the results will always surprise you.   I learned this lesson during my first backpacking experience in Europe.  I traveled with one of my best friends Brian who was one of the most outspoken people I have ever met; he would ask anyone [...]

Welcome to Costa Rica

January 15th, 2008 by Jonathan

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 [...]

January 15th, 2008 by Jonathan

There is a certain satisfaction in completing a good pack.  When everything is done and everything is ready: the journey begins.   That about sums up my morning today.  I am beginning a new journey towards the unknown, with no plans or schedule, no itinerary, or idea of what the future holds; I am completely free.  [...]
