My top four favorite things to buy in Costa Rica. What about you? What are your favorite souvenirs?
Get up close and personal with the lively Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica!
This one goes out to the guy in the Costa Rica airport, who yelled at the janitor about how ignorant he is for not being able to speak English. What a douche.
Close your eyes and GO! Seriously, I do that sometimes, but don't try that at home! Instead, follow these 11 useful tips to get you on the roads and back home safely.
As soon as I landed and stepped in to the Houston International Airport, I could tell I didn’t feel comfortable in my home country anymore.
There can be anywhere from a handful to hundreds of people in the ring at one time and the object of the game is to get the bull to chase you while you cleverly avoid his stalk and eventually his stomp.
I am truly mourning the loss of Steve Jobs. His creative genius has made my life and my job more fun and enjoyable on a daily basis.
A glimpse into the haunted halls of Costa Rica's world famous Sanatorio Carlos Duran.
Mother Nature says Happy Mother's Day with four earthquakes and a torrential downpour. Plus the skinny on Costa Rica's secret break from the rainy season.
Brilliant jaw-dropping sunset in Costa Rica. Colors too saturated to catch on film but I tried!
Inexpensive, quality, used car for sale in Costa Rica. 1989 Ford Festiva: automatic, new suspension, new tires, lots of extras including an alarm, AC, cushy racing seats, and fancy luxury rims.
Life in Costa Rica has had its fair share of negatives over the past few months, but I’ve had a recent upturn. And I’m going to relish it. So don’t hate!
Meet my precious 2 week old nephew!
Blast from the past! 7 significant posts from Costa Rica - the controversial, the popular, the surprising, and what makes me proud.
The new Costa Rica bills were put into circulation today, as well as the message that the old bills now have a expiration date!
Tiny Costa Rica waterfall mushrooms, little fairy umbrellas!
Hilarious video of my dog swimming in the air!
Mocha has a photoshoot on the beach, with babies.
The view from my window in Costa Rica, i.e. what they don't show you on your average tour.
This earthquake started abruptly and shook sharply with no sign of slowing or stopping.
Fantastic restaurants in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica.
Noni fruit is reported to have miraculous life prolonging properties, but you need a gas mask to cover the odor and 10 tons of sugar to disguise the putrid taste.
Reflections on a year in Costa Rica plus the gift of a blog design makeover!
Shakira came to Costa Rica to rock the New National Stadium, only to be greeted with controversy and a joke of a production company that left her singing and swaying without sound or video.

Every good Tico eats tamales for Christmas (Navidad) and this year I not only ate them, I learned how to make them.
On a clear day, I can walk outside and be surrounded by dozens of butterflies fluttering around. This is another reason why I love living in Costa Rica!
