San Jose zip lining

The next day Ryan had to work so it was just Steve, Brandon and I. And at the guys request we went on a canopy zip line tour. Since we didn’t want to drive the 4 hour round trip to [[Costa-Rica/Monteverde]], where the good zip lining is, we were limited to the local San Jose zip-line companies....

Puff, Puff Costa Rican Cigar Factory Tour

What to do in San Jose? Hum?? Yeah we could do a walking tour around town and visit all the museums or go to the nearby volcanoes, Paos or Irazu, which usually have very little visibility because of the heavy clouds by mid morning. But what else, what would be interesting, unique and fun for...

After our little bit of site seeing San Jose last Monday we didn’t do much of anything else until Thursday. Ryan had to work and I just hung around the house. On Thursday morning we left for a mini-vacation back to Santa Teresa on the Nicoya Peninsula and stayed at Backpackers Tranquilo (the...

Getting back to sight seeing

So I finished my CELTA course last Friday. It was a relief to finally be done but now I need to look for a job. I HATE applying for jobs. Its so uncertain. Sending out tons of resumes, doing interviews and never knowing where is the best fit for me. The worst part of it all this time is that...

Costa Rica Part 2 - Quepos, Montezuma & Tamarindo!

After the fabulous 5 day break in Panama, we were ready to return to Costa Rica to continue our jungle journey. Our first stop, after striding through the border bridge with a tad more confidence than before, was San Jose. Following a one night nondescript stopover in the city, we hopped on a...

Costa Rica Part 1 - San Jose, Puerto Viejo & Cahuita!!!

After some seriously long greyhound journeys in the States our 2 1/2 hour plane flight to San Jose seemed very short indeed. The first port of call was San Jose downtown which acts as a main hub for public travel throughout the country. The cheeky bus driver thought he could get away with short...

An attempt at snorkeling

So we spent a couple more days in the surf town, paradise beach spot of Santa Teresa. Within the first few days here we met some pretty cool guys that we befriended over the last week which made it even harder to leave. But in the end we knew we had to go. Our last day on the Nicoya...

Southern Nicoya Pennisula: a Paradise

I think we found paradise.... Well not exactly but pretty close to it. We are still in Santa Teresa/Playa Carmen/Mal Pais. I say slash, slash, slash cause they are three beach towns on the Pacific tip of the Nicoya Peninsula right next to each other with not exactly clear divisions. Either way...
