Costa Rica is a natural oasis squeezed between the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea and home to 121 volcanic formations. Don’t worry, only seven are active.

A Special Santa Maria Sunset in Canton de Dota, Costa Rica
One of the main reasons I love the sunset and started Sunset Sunday is that the moment is universally celebrated as the sun sets daily around the world. I’ve witnessed and shared many including many Costa Rica sunsets. I also know as my community in the Florida Keys digs out from a massive Hurricane, they […]
Podcast Episode 1: Costa Rica, the Pura Vida
Costa Rica will always be a special place for me. After cutting the corporate chains (for the first time) in late 2004, I began my 11 month 15 country travel sabbatical with 8 weeks in Costa Rica. It changed my life. So, once I decided to start the Stay Adventurous podcast and allow listeners a new way to […]
Sunset Sunday-Surfing Costa Rica at Sunset in Manuel Antonio

It seemed as if everyone in Costa Rica did (although for the record, I spoke much Spanish). The surprised look was because […]

Sunset Sunday-An Osa Peninsula Sunset in Costa Rica
I headed back to the main pavilion again on my second night to watch another Costa Rican sunset on the Osa Peninsula. With no rain this evening, I was not alone. Most of the guests of El Remanso Lodge were there with either a cup of delicious Costa Rican coffee or celebratory cocktails. We all […]
Postcard-Colorful Costa Rica’s Scarlet Macaw
On the remote Osa Peninsula, a place National Geographic labeled, “the most biologically intense place on earth” travelers find Costa Rica’s real riches – its wildlife. As the last place settled in the country, it can be argued it is the ‘pure” in the country’s mantra and way of life, “Pura Vida.” When I arrived […]
