our horse ride was brilliant. we went and met kevin our cowboy (not the most likely name for a cowboy but anyway) and off the four of us rode up over the hills and fields and streams and galloped along the footpaths.stopped to have a beer which we assume was the complementary snack that was included in our tour.. after four hours we were very so...

Hey everyone!!!! My Xmas started out like any other day. I did some tours and had some fun and made bank with tips!!! Trotter and I were planning on just spending the night at the gardens eating hotdogs and playing cards, but our boss invited us to the hot springs in Las Juntas! It was awesome because it was an hour drive to get there and we sat...

Its been about a month since we have arrived and things are still going great! I still give an average of three tours a day and some times i get some weird people on them. We close at four and sometimes people will come in right at 3:59 and we have to give them a tour. So this one time i was super pumped to close down and these two couples come ...

Finally tore myself away from the sun and surf in San Juan del Sur yesterday morning to travel to Costa Rica with 2 guys from my dorm, Filip and Amit. Filip is a cheerful Pole who has been working as a website manager in London for the last few years and is now travelling around the entire world. He likes random T-shirts and often wears a Britne...

Very pretty place but a tourist trap. One thing that I have learned about traveling for long amounts of time like this is that you begin to compare places that you have visited on your trip and don't look at them separately. I'm sure that Monteverde to some people would be a picturesque little Costa Rican town but I have already visited places j...

Asaf The trip up to Monteverde was a long and uncomfortable bus ride from San Jose. The bus was old, it was hot and the italians in front of us would not open up the window >:( But on this five and a half hour ride we did catch beautiful glimpses of the surrounding mountains including our destination with it's cloud covered peaks. We arrived ...

We got out of town Tuesday morning about 10 a.m., which is a record for us! We only had to wait for 15 minutes at the bridge in Parrita where we got stuck for 50 mins coming down, and we felt very lucky for it! The trip was pretty uneventful and smooth driving through some very rural parts of Costa Rica, until we reached the road going up the m...

The Interbus shuttle to Monteverde picked us up near the airport on October 4th. We shared the bus with two girls from Texas and a couple from England. The four hour journey was easy until we came to the unpaved road about 30 kms from Monteverde and Santa Elena. We bounced and bumped up the hill for about an hour, but the rocky road was well wor...

Hey everyone!! Its been a crazy week. We've been snorkeling. The water was cloudy, but it was still fun, except that I kept freaking out a fish might decide to eat me. The day after that we went white water rafting down el Río Pacuare. The rapids were class 3 and 4. It took us through some pretty amazing canyons. Jeff and I sat in the front and ...

Had a fun night last night with the people from my zipline trip. We went to a little bar in Santa Elena called The Treehouse because there is a giant tree growing in the center of it. To get around you have to maneuver around roots and limbo under branches. I imagine many a person has clocked his/her head on that tree. Anyway, we had dinner, cer...
