Did we ever tell you that we are planning to bus all the way down to the southern most tip of Argentina? I have seen some of the most amazing sights just starting out the window. The bus to Bogota changed how we viewed transportation. Plastered to the window I couldn't stop snapping. As we… Continue reading Photo Friday: The Road to Bogota
I felt like I was going to puke. My travel nerves were at full force that day - something I hadn’t really experienced since Mexico. I was a pro at this. Why was I feeling so shitty? “You’re already missing them.” Shaun’s replied. And you know what? He was right. Our travels have taken a… Continue reading Medellin, You Changed EVERYTHING
Perfect weather. Perfect water. Perfect white sand. Perfect little islands with palm trees and coconuts on the ground. Sailing through the San Blas islands in Panama was perfection. I couldn't believe what was in front of my eyes. This was only supposed to exist in storybooks filled with tales of the Swiss Family Robinson and… Continue reading Photo Friday: HDR – San Blas Islands, Panama
Even though we went through some craziness with Cartagena, the city will hold a special place in my heart. We spent most of our days with our friends from the Santana crew exploring the Old City and taking in the warm energy that takes over. There is something about the air, the energy, and the… Continue reading Photo Essay: Cartagena, Colombia
***Please pardon the pictures as all were taken on an iPhone 3G. No good camera should be taken out during festivities like these.*** I had no clue that we were sailing into one of the biggest celebrations that Cartagena has seen in a long long time. Cartagena independence. We somehow accidentally scheduled our catamaran trip… Continue reading Crazy Cartagena Independence: Colombia
I always have had a sneaky suspicion that I was a pirate in a past life. Sure, my obsession may have started with One Eyed Willy from The Goonies, but that is besides the point. Sailing to Colombia was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and I learned that I’m truly a… Continue reading Sailing to Colombia on the High Seas
Yes, we’re one of those annoying people that will go out of their way to experience World Wonders. You know, remember the Grand Canyon and Volcan Paricutin? Yeah, we were stoked about the Panama Canal. The first thing someone should know about when trying to see it is that unless you’re with a tour group,… Continue reading World Wonder Collecting: Panama Canal
When we stepped foot onto Utila-like Bocas del Toro, Panama, I think I must have lost 8 years or so of my life on the water taxi. I was 21 again and for some reason wanting to re-live those years. Or maybe it was because we had spent a month and a half in the… Continue reading Non-Stop Partying in Bocas del Toro, Panama
We found ourselves in the awesome dusty town of Puerto Viejo during our last rendezvous with Costa Rica. This entire town was founded on tourism and I’m happy to say that it isn’t quite oversaturated... yet. See it while you can. A bit of a Caribbean vibe mixed with the Costa Rican “pura vida” will… Continue reading Photo Essay: Hangin’ in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
The perfect Zapatilla Cay. It is like heaven on earth in Panama. Can it get any better than this?
This is the second part of a two part series. We were offered the opportunity to participate in Gecko Trail Adventures popular 3 in 1 tour in Puerto Viejo. Due to the sheer awesomeness of this tour, I couldn’t justify putting all of it in just one post. What I didn’t know going into our… Continue reading More Chocolate and Waterfalls in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

Due to the sheer awesomeness of this tour, I couldn’t justify putting all of it in just one post. Contrary to popular belief, there are no… Continue reading Jaguar Rescue Center – Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
All the way at the end of the road on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica you can find Manzanillo. Known for it's kick ass nature reserve, this place really is quite the haven. A bit of a hike out but completely worth every footstep.
Yes, there seems to be a pattern here. I seem to post multiple posts on either tacos al pastor or chocolate. Can you blame me? We found ourselves on a chocolate tour in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Seeing the process from start to finish was nothing like I expected. Hell, I didn’t even know chocolate… Continue reading Chocolate – Breakfast of Champions
We hiked through small roads and dirt patches in Bataan, Costa Rica to find a small creek to spend our afternoon in (beer in tow). I felt like Indiana Jones, alone in the wilderness, only a few stray dogs following us. But before the washed out bridge, we found this decayed beauty on the side… Continue reading Photo Friday: HDR – Bataan, Costa Rica
