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 [...]

How to change your life and enjoy getting from point A to B. I never liked flying all that much until I heard some words of wisdom from one of my old college buddies. He flew anywhere in the world for free, courtesy of his step dad who worked for Air Canada; needless to say he [...]

What is a vacation or journey without a little fleeting love for the soul? For me, it would be a disappointing and devastating one. Granted, I don’t consider myself a pro or expert on the subject, but I do find what I’m looking for each and every time I hit the road. So I thought perhaps [...]

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.

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.

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 [...]

The most commonly used phrase in Costa Rica is Pura Vida. Everything in Costa Rica is Pura Vida! The simple translation is Pura Life; but the saying has a far more profound meaning to people of Costa Rica, and the travelers who fall in love with this majestic country.
