About Me

My photo
I am a bohemian nomad, someone who acts and lives free of regard for conventional rules and practices, but also one who moves according to the seasons. After traveling to over 100 countries and all 7 continents over the past 12 years I feel that I truly subscribe to the words of Mary Poxon, who said. "I sought to see the amazing as normal and the daily as unique, and in that swirling paradox I found the joy of travel." I will be forever in pursuit of new sights and adventures and hope that maybe I can convince a few more to give budget travel a chance. Budget travel gives those with little money an opportunity to travel and those with money an opportunity to travel longer.

COSTA RICA, Manuel Antonio

June 8-10th, 2008

I caught a shuttle from La Fortuna to Quepos because it was the only direct way to get there. At $35 for the four hr trip it was painful to part with the money. The minivan had 4 other people in it from Dallas, Tx. A couple and 2 young children for 4 HOURS. The plane in the pictures at the top of the page was converted to a restaurant and is on the road from Quepos to Manuel Antonio. It is that great part of trip where you not only have to ask what day of the month it is but what day of the week it is. Manuel Antonio is great. In 2 days I will go to Panama. I met a lot of people at the hostel from Texas who are spending the summer learning Spanish for college credit. One of them told me that Costa Rica was backpacking with "training wheels". It is so true. This is the easiest country to learn to backpack. I spent most of the day on the beach and then everyone from the hostel went out to a new bar for Ladies Night. Too much fun.
