So we had some good news today. They called the locksmith and since we are in the middle of nowhere I have no idea how much this will cost to bring him down in this remote place to break the hotel safe because they vault key is lost during one of the surf sessions. Passport and all money is in the vault so this potentially can be bad. 4 hours later after a long hike I get back to receive some good news that they where able to get into the safe so a ding of $50. Good times, so it{s off to a nice restaurant tonight to celebrate. The next day was pretty chill. Morning swim and maybe abit of rum and then hiked 3 kms into Santa Elena which is more happening then Mal ... read more

They say it takes about a week before you break out of your comfort zone and really get into your trip and they are right. I have to say I have not stayed at a funkier hostel then the Tranquilo backpackers hostel. This place is probably the best hostel I had ever stayed at. The vibe is just off the charts. I arrived from Caribe bus station and made my way here. The hostel use to be an old mansion but now they are all little dorm rooms. This place is like spring break meets bob marley meets jack johnson. It{s just so chill and the people here are so interesting. I met Keenen and Rob both from Winnipeg and we played Uno downstairs in one of the chill room and the two bottles of rum ... read more

I can never get use to these international keyboard to get the correct symbols. So if you start seeing weird characters when I type it{s not because I am drunk or stoned. It{s been 3 days in Cahuita and this is probably my favorite place in the east side. In the morning I met Tia an Australian girl who works for the UN in New York in the land mine division. It was very interesting chatting to her about her work sitting on the hammock and enjoying the Caribbean coast. Our hostel called Spencer Sea side is practically right on the beach so you can watch the sunset and listen to the wave crashing against the walls while you sleep or read. The town is very easy to navigate and explore. On my way to Cahuita ... read more

Wow it's been 4 years since my last trip. Almost forgot my password to this site. Well this blog will be a few days jammed into one. I left for Costa Rica on Sept 25th and had 2 lay overs. There's not really any direct flight to CR so I would recommend limitting your layovers. When I first purchase my ticket I thought 2 lay overs including 3 hours at each airport wouldn't be bad but until you do the time it sucks. The first layover was into Salt Lake City which I flew Delta. I don't know about the other airlines but Delta was pretty disorganized. I came very close to missing my flight because they were overbooked.I asked the lady what was going on and like a veteran she told me to look at ... read more

You probobably don't want to read this becuase it's writtten in the context of me zenning out.  I will try to capture tot you the last few hours of how I have felt in Thailand.  HOnestly I have probabably lost all credibility b/c i am so shit face but we'll back up the truck before I had 10 mojito's.  So I woke up and sent my  swords back home, it'll be 2 months before I recieve those bad boys.  The day would come to be some major foreshadowing as I have met the first asian girl I am actually  infactuated with.  As I stand in the line up at the thai post office, I notice a rare beauty that spoke with an english accent.  Ent you are right, there is nothing like accents, this girl just ... read more
