Kia ora everyone from LA. Im finally out of central america which fells kinda strange not hearing spanish everyday and flushing the toilet paper. My last week in Liberia, Costa Rica was spent hanging out with friends, another trip to Tamarindo for a final surf which was dead flat and saying goodbye to everyone. Te extrano mucho a todo mi amigos y nos vemos otra vez pronto, lo juro! ya yo se que no puedo escriber en espanol. Kat got a new job for a computer supplies company which she really enjoys so that was great. Was sad to leave life [View Full Entry]

Hello, Kia Ora, hola, yo hope everyone is safe and well, its been a little while since my last blog mostly due to a case of cant be bothered. Still loving Costa Rica after almost 8 weeks and am not looking forward to leaving in 11 days. I skipped the Guatamala trip to spend those two weeks here. Since Nicaragua ive mostly been chilling out, hanging with buddies, beaching it up and working with Las Tinajas making the new indoor table sets. Kinda feel like ive settled into life here again. Russ is down from Canada with his lovely wahine Kim, [View Full Entry]

So two days later Im now in Granada which is an awesome city, It seems to be so clean and the buildings here are amazing, If anyone is heading this way I recommed the Oasis backpackers. Free internet,swimming pool and a massive selection of free dvds. Met up with a couple of Kiwi mates from Costa Rica here and spent most of yesterday and today walking around checking it all out. They have some amazing churchs here. One impressive one we ventured into had glass floors and you could see an open coffin of what we guess to be an old [View Full Entry]

I guess this email wont give you a very good idea of how Nicaragua is as the last three days have been spent in Bahia Majagual. The border crossing was fine, just takes a long time for everything to go throu. Caught a taxi with Lee and Lucus, a couple that have been living in Mal Pais for 13 yrs to San Juan del Sur but they decided to cruz on to this Eco Lodge they had heard about so I tagged along. It is so outta the way by boat is pretty much the only way to get here, unless [View Full Entry]

Good day family and friends wherever you are, I am sun burnt and stoaked which I possibly my favourite feeling. As that means beach and waves have been had. Ill keep the writing short cause the pics are way cooler. Sat evening Pablo, Tuti, Kat, Ana, Ge and I made the drive north towards Nigaragua to spend the night at Ges pad on the beach. I cant remember the name of the beach but if you can picture Witchs Rock by boat you would head north around the point to the next big bay. There is no surf here but its [View Full Entry]

´¡Que calor maes! Hey, spent the last 5 days in Playa Tamarindo and cooked, was pushing 40 degrees alot of the time and my fan in my cabin was pretty much set on bake. Had an awesome time, we ended up having quite a crew with Irish, Canadians, Americans and Norwegins. Also met a whole lotta Kiwis who came down from Whistler which was sweet. Who get this, are buddies with Joel an Bugs from Canmore! Check out the ´Russ an Dan´ blogs. Surf was not great but nice to get wet, Tamarindo has changed alot with new buildings, Burger King [View Full Entry]

Hola y como estas a todos? Pura vida y tuanis! So yes I am finally in Costa Rica, after a long three days involving six airports, buses, taxis and a lovely old lady named Doris who picked me up hitch hiking an took me all the way to Calgary airport and probably saved me missing my flight. So I arrived, very tired, smelly and hungry and my AFS exchange sister from here picked me up. Was really great to see Annick again after three years, her house in San Jose is beautiful with many paintings by her father, a professinal French [View Full Entry]
