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.

  • Heat, Dust and Dirt Bikes in Egypt

    The traffic, chaos and 3000 years of bureaucracy take their toll, but I manage to Belly Dance over the Nile anyway. After clocking in at the pyramids, it’s off to the Sinai to rock the desert by ATV, dirt bike and dune buggy. Egypt has stayed much the same since my last visit 16 years ago. I haven’t.

  • A Revolution in Cuba

    Plenty of thoughts about this controversial island in the Caribbean, where tourists are herded into all-inclusive resorts while the songs of Revolution still stir. When you add a large group of journalists, expect something in the middle in this gonzo-fuelled rant about the beating heart of change.
