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!

  • Flying Doctors and the Migration of the Wildebeest

    This week in East Africa, I discover two sides to a coin. The luxury, beauty and exotic wildlife of the ultimate safari, complete with butlers, five-star tents, and the migration of the wildebeest. In Nairobi, a different story, as I take to the air with the Flying Doctors, participating in a medical evacuation, and seeing the human cost of violence. This is Africa, and there is nowhere else like it.
