Ten things to do in Guanacaste

Ten Awesome Things to Do in Guanacaste

In the northwest corner of Costa Rica, tucked just under the southern border of Nicaragua, is the province of Guanacaste — a place of volcanoes and rainforests, rivers and beaches, classic colonial architecture and extreme water sports.  Covering almost 4,000 square miles, the province has much to offer visitors; here’s a guide of ten awesome …

Reasons to Visit Anacortes

Reasons to Visit Anacortes

Traveling from Seattle north along Interstate 5 will take you to Bellingham and eventually Vancouver in beautiful British Columbia.  It’s a tempting bit of highway to breeze along, skipping all the drive-through towns in Snohomish and Skagit Counties for more intriguing destinations further north.  You certainly could, but it would be a mistake. You’d miss …

Tolma Festival in Dvin

Eating All the Things at the Tolma Festival in Dvin

There are few things which can make me so excited I get teary-eyed.  Coming upon an epic view while hiking is one.  Crushing a huge sale back in the day was another.  But food?  Food can get me just about every time.  So when I saw a meetup on Couchsurfing to go to the Tolma …

Ulsan Whale Festival

Earlier this month, I made my first-ever trip to Ulsan.  It was notable because Ulsan is right next to Pohang and, for some reason, I’ve never been.  The decision was spur of the moment, but I had a day free and decided to check out a festival I’d heard about.  A blogger friend of mine, …

Masskara Festival: the Experience

Pretty much the entire point of my journey to Bacolod was to enjoy the Masskara Festival that the island/city is known for.  According to the website/reviews/other write-ups I’d seen, I was expecting something similar to Mardi Gras.  Eh…. not quite.  It’s fun, to be sure, but I don’t think it’s quite the same.  The biggest …

Friendship and Living Abroad

Single serving friends.  If you’ve ever seen Fight Club, you’ll get the reference.  The Narrator is an office drone in an insurance company who travels relentlessly to assess whether automobile defects are ‘serious’ enough to issue a recall.  On the plane, he’ll meet people and enjoy their company and conversation for the duration of the …

Let There Be Mud!!

Once upon a time there was a town.  This town was a small town, and the council of elders debated how they could increase their standing within the realm.  Whilst walking along the nearby mud flats, an elder stumbled and plopped into the sludge face first.  Disgusted and invaded by the oozing substance, he strove …

Exploring and Rock Climbing in Busan

This weekend I decided to explore the second largest city in Korea… Busan.  Weighing in at over 3,600,000 people in the city alone, it’s much bigger than Pohang but a mere shadow of the sprawling behemoth that is Seoul.  There was a big sand festival going on, which was fun to check out.  Some of …
