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 […]
Sunset Sunday – Jaco, Costa Rica
Looking back, the sunset seems to have always been a special part of my travels. From my childhood to my first solo trips, I can recall many sunsets. But it was after Costa Rica, the first destination on my travel sabbatical, when my simple love for the sunset grew to a passion. With most of […]
Sunset Sunday – Santa Teresa-Mal Pais, Costa Rica
Often I review some of my old photos and journals when reminded of an adventure.

Green, the new color of Travel?
Green; the color of money (in the US), the color of envy? the color of energy? Maybe all three? Maybe you have none? But actually ‘green’ also seems to be becoming the color of travel. Words like “sustainability,” “organic” and “eco-tourism” are more and more prevalent each and every day. We all read them on travel websites […]
Becoming ‘Pura Vida’ en Costa Rica
Click. I hung up the phone with Delta. Thirty-five thousand sky miles, all earned as a management consultant exchanged for a round trip ticket to San Jose, Costa Rica. This time – no assignment; my travel was personal and with purpose. Turning back was no longer an option. The travel sabbatical I talked about for […]
