The devastating combination of tequila, Jager, and Guaro…I’m an insatiable fanatic for life; loving all things good and most things bad. People tell me, time and time again, that I have no limits when it comes to pleasure. My last night in Tamarindo is a true testament to this statement. We decided to start the [...]

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.
“Today was AMAZING! I felt [...]

Sometimes I feel like the luckiest man alive. As if some mystical force has chosen me the lucky one amongst all the others. There is a Swedish proverb that says, “Luck never gives; it only lends”. Well, it has been lending me my whole life and the accumulated balance seems astonishing to some; unbelievable to [...]

So what is Guaro you ask? It’s a common myth that Costa Rica doesn’t have a national drink. In a nation of drinkers as prevalent as this one: of course there had to be a national drink, and what better then local moonshine dressed up in a respectable bottle and sold everywhere.
Costa Ricans love their [...]

50 Cents said it best with “All the things they said you shouldn’t do: I did them.” Well, me to 50. I stood many times in the garden of forbidden fruit tasting each flavor: only then can you decide what fruits are right or wrong for you. I remember Kerouac boldly stating that the appeal [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
