Come with me! I am on the brink of another adventure in Latin America. It will take me through Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Belize. Last time many of you kept me company through this blog. I truly appreciated it and I hope you will peek into the trip now and then. I hope to improve Version 2.0 with audio and video. Lucky for me, I have real life travel buddies this time! Hurray! EA Audio Ninja Scott, Venice Beach Dave, MOM and 2 unknown travel buddies I have yet to meet. For you audio geeks out there...I [View Full Entry]

The final leg of the mainland Ecuador trip has just wrapped up tonight. This section was more focused on cultural markets and towns and consequently less adrenaline packed. It was actually nice to relax and take things in at a casual pace. Some of the highlights included going to the Equator at Latitude Longitude measurement of 0 0 0. Strangely enough there are actually 2 monuments for this special location...one created by the French a few hundred years ago based upon geographical measurements and one that was recently created by GPS. The GPS is about 100 yards down the road and [View Full Entry]

Aloha mis amigos, After a rip roaring good time in the jungle, we had to depart back to civilization. A shame really cause I could easily spend weeks or months exploring the Amazon. In fact, I am reading a book about a guy who kayaked the entire 4500 miles of the river. Pretty amazing. After a long bus trip, we landed in a town called banos. It is a hub for adventure activities and fun bars. It is also surrounded by volcanoes. We attempted to drive up close to it so that we could hear and feel it. Sadly it chose [View Full Entry]

hi friends. Please forgive me for this Mega-Post…but it is trying to capture 4 rad days of jungle. My journey has carved deeper into the heart of Ecuador. It has been exciting, awe-inspiring and heart breaking. After a few more bumpy bus rides we arrive in the jungle town of Tena. This is where many of the Amazon families and tours stock up on supplies. Our guide suggested we buy some food and gifts here to give to the families and schools as a token of our appreciation. My gift idea was a ball for the school children. Yeah for games! [View Full Entry]

Buenas! So I spent the beginning of the next day comparing and bargaining for a sweet Galapagos scuba diving trip for when I return to Quito. After quite a bit of walking and hand gesturing, I came across an amazing boat that will hit all of the best dive spots in the galapagos. It will be ridiculous. Later that day, I met up with my tour group. I will be spending massive amounts of time with these folks over the next 2 weeks. It turns out there are only 3 other tourists and a guide. This should be good for getting [View Full Entry]

Hola! So the journey has begun. After months of exhaustive theoretical adventure speculation and a mere handful of hours of specific ecuador planning, I am typing this message in Quito Ecuador. It all started off rather frustating. I was running a tad bit late for my flight in LA when I get to my car and it doesn´t start. Doh! So a slow traffic cab ride later (where the cabbie curiously investigates my travel intentions) I am hanging out in the International wing of LAX. I always love gawking at the diverse people and exotic destinations. It gives great future travel [View Full Entry]
