... money on the stock market, or in housing devaluation, but then again they never had that money to lose. So maybe you are thinking that you wish you had that extra money you used to have to buy the things you need.

... zebra taranchula, giant cockroaches, millapeds, kissing beatles, whip scorpians, and especially the largest flying insect in the world the elephant beatle. My boss is super awesome, and I have my own room (with scorpians included at no additional cost), get to make my own grocery list that gets purchased for me, work an average of 4 hrs a day, and read about rain forest ecology on the off hours. Its two volunteers last day so we will have a traditional costa rican tico ...

It was also time to say goodbye to mi amigo Carlos, an absolute diamond of a man and a genius at using scraps and cast-offs to fashion ...

Monteverde is famous for its cloud forest, and jungle hikes. But Vicky and I wanted none of it. We were here for some adreneline-action. Monteverde has the country´s highest, longest, fastest zip-lining .. and from the different tour companies here, we ...

Boat trip from Jinetes went without hitch and we were back in Sierpe just after the 8:30 bus. Doh! Sat and waited for the next bus at 10 and lo and behold some guy turns up who is heading to Palmar Norte and wants petrol money - what luck! Only 2000 Colones ($4) this time, so even better.
