“Como te llamas? (What do they call you?)” I asked the fidgety, energetic 7 year old in front of us. “Me llamo Fernaaaaaaaando!” as he flashed a not-so-toothy smile. I wondered for a moment if the tooth fairy visited this part of the world. I am always impressed by how energetic kids can be hopping… Continue reading My Friend Fernando – Memories at the Ollantaytambo Ruins in Peru
It has been officially banned in the streets of Manhattan so thousands of Santa-clad boozehounds filled the streets of Brooklyn this year in protest (and in merriment and boozing). But in Austin? SantaCon is alive and well, my friends. In fact, this is one of the only weekends of the year where I go full… Continue reading SantaCon 2013: Rampaging Through Austin’s Streets
There is nothing quite like Ms. P’s Electric Cock (I HAD to). I mean, how can you not giggle when you say that name? But look a little deeper and you will find some of the best freaking fried chicken in Austin - and that is quite the feat. It starts with a small grumble… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Ms. P’s Electric Cock
...I didn’t even ask her name. She was a bright, bubbly Aussie (some of my favorite people to party with) with a face that lit up with more freckles than I could count. Her boisterous laugh is what caught me. She was going to be fun. We shared an evening and beers together and when… Continue reading Why Travel Friends are Like One Night Stands

For those of you who have been on the crazy train with us during this past year I would like to give you a wholehearted THANK… Continue reading 2013 Wrap Up: We Were Busy as Hell
I’m a moaner. Not like that, you perv. I find myself moaning awkwardly when eating a meal that knows exactly what my taste buds need. It doesn’t even have to be mind-blowing but for some reason the moment that I have deliciousness touch my flavor receptors, a mind explosion happens and it just comes out.… Continue reading My Coffee Connoisseur Meal Made Me Moan at Finca Rosa Blanca, Costa Rica
I could feel my heart beating and adrenaline coursing through my veins. My ears were filled with the sound of waves crashing as we made our way down the narrow winding path to Playa Espadilla. A sense of urgency overcame me and I suddenly needed the sea like I needed air to breathe. I started… Continue reading Wanderlust Wednesday: The Sea is Calling Me – Playa Espadilla in Costa Rica
People somehow think there is rhyme or reason when it comes to our weekly food truck pickin’s - but I’m here to rock your world and tell you that is not the case. When the hour comes that my stomach becomes vocal, I listen to it. This week, ZsaZsa wanted BURGERS. The rest of my… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Stonehouse Wood Fire Grill
Something that is not mentioned in the guidebooks or many websites about Costa Rica is exactly how rare it is to catch the top of the Arenal Volcano. You would think with all the marketing with the chance to see lava flows (it really hasn't been active since 2011) you would think you would see… Continue reading Wanderlust Wednesday – A Rare View of the Arenal Volcano
The plane door opened and a gust of hot air rushed across my face at the Liberia Airport. I took in a deep breath. I had been here a few times previously and I couldn’t help but feel like I was at home in Costa Rica. The humidity hugged my skin tightly and I was… Continue reading Eat, Drink, Sleep, Do: Costa Rica Style
Something funny has happened to us since we started this Food Truck Friday series. Shaun and I used to be content, just minding our own business, driving down the road. Now my eyes dart around the side roads and alleys, scouring for our next food truck experience. This is how we happened upon Sambets Cajun… Continue reading Food Truck Friday: Sambets Cajun Roadside Cafe

Costa Rica never ceases to amaze me. From lush rainforests to some of the most stunning coast lines I've ever laid my eyes on, this country is both rich in wildlife and beauty.
