Finish the Sentence: Costa Rica

« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Costa Rica

There are always many places to go in a country, but in Costa Rica, there are so many things to do! Here’s everyone I met skivving around San Jose, La Fortuna, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio National Park, and the beaches of Mal Pais. By skivving, I mean canyoneering, ziplining, snorkling, horseriding, river rafting, wildlife spotting, and drinking Pilsen beer and strong Cuba Libres, of course!

  • Shamans and Guinea Pigs in Ecuador

    It’s folly to spend just one week in a country as diverse as Ecuador, but what the hell! Shamans and guinea pigs, iguanas, bus parties, 300-year old haciendas, volcanic craters - I don’t get to the Galapagos, but between Otavalo, Quito and Gauyaquil, there’s plenty to keep me busy.

  • Science Fiction in Star City

    Returning to Russia, I get an exclusive glimpse into the reality of modern space travel, visiting the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, poking my head into real life rocket shipx. From the Moscow Metro to the streets of St Petersburg, the Great Bear presents it challenges, but there is truly nowhere else on earth quite like it.

  • Sweet As the South Island

    Sweet As. It’s Kiwi slang, and I return to the South Island to find out what it means. Is it the wine, food, and dolphins in Marlborough? Or the extreme gonzo action of canyon swinging, bungy jumping and skydiving in Queenstown? From mansions to car eating parrots, join me on a road trip on the South Island, where we always aim for possums.
