Volunterring in Quepos Back tracking to be before I contracted Dengue, volunteering is going okay. Not exactly what I signed for but it’s cool, they obviously needed help with no education put in place at this moment, thanks to you know what. But here’s a glimpse of what I see Monday through Friday in the […]

Road to Recovery, Damn Day Walkers Finally on the road to recovery after taking a turn for the worse two days ago. It started Saturday with feeling achy, then I started feeling better and two days ago, I don’t even know what day it is right now, it literally hit me like a ton of […]

Quepos and Broken Bones   Gosh, it’s been a minute. Probably because I’m recovering from a few days down in poop-y-ville. Not literally, figuratively. What I originally thought was a mosquito bite turns out to actually be a common illness here in the Ric’s de la Costa.   Quibra Huesos which translates into “broken bones” […]

Hola Charlie Met my new bestie on my way out of San Jose, he’s a tattoo artist who goes by Charlie. Hysterical fella who’s got charisma for days, you just want to put him in your pocket and take him home. He’s also been kind enough to show me around old town and fill me […]

Pennies and Dimes in Manuel I was talking with one of my roommates about pennies and dimes and all that good stuff. Talking about how I didn’t  know I would if I would get any in Costa Rica because they don’t use ’em of course. The following morning (yesterday) I was making my bed and […]

Arrive in Manuel Officially arrived this afternoon (03/06/2021) in Manuel Antonio, Quepos actually, but it’s not far from where I need to be. Man is it day and night from the city. Everything, it’s amazing, I feel so blessed now. Finally. But you know I had to go through those situations to truly appreciate what […]

Quake We had an earthquake last night at 1:55am-ish that rattled me a little bit, no pun intended. Forgot how much I don’t miss those! It was small but big enough to get my heart pumpin. There’s an average of like 300 a day in Costa Rica. I guess last night was actually Mexico’s 5.7 […]

Shout Out’s I‘ve gotta back track a wee bit cause I forgot to mention some peeps from the beginning of my journey and that’s no bueno. Thanks to Shelly Litwin (I typed Simmons and had to backspace it, I did. Kind a like Jennifer Peters, old school for life lol) she actually officially started my […]

Thanks Mom   Call it what you want, I call it mom. When I was called to the area via shuttle to validate my insurance I sat there sweating bullets for maybe 15 minutes, felt like 15 hours, but that’s all I could do was sit and watch. She (her name was Melissa too) was […]

Mishaps Okay I haven’t been in Costa Rica not even 24 hours and I’ve had two fuck ups already. They’re silly so they’re not that bad. They’re the kind that you can laugh at after the fact. I’ve had my fair share of the other kind too but I’d like to think I’m too old […]
