    I’m ‘Bout Adventured Out

         It’s safe to say I had no idea to what extent I’d be getting myself into today. I woke up and was ready to go in time to make it back to Xaman ATV Tours today for my ATV adventure tour. Seeing as though I had no idea we…

    Lake Atitlán: Let’s Paint The Town

    After a long morning of traveling yesterday I fell asleep to Inside Out 2 last night. I woke up refreshed and ready to do a Village Tour with Xaman ATV Tours. Getting there from where I was was going to be a 36 minute walk and given that I may…

    I’m Going Going Back Back To Guate Guate Guatemala

      Last year during the week of Thanksgiving right before Black Friday Avianca had some amazing flight deals (where I bought 3 tickets) and this trip was one of the deals I booked. If you didn’t already know I’ve been to Guatemala before back in February 2022 and I stayed…

    San Jose, Costa Rica: Irazu Volcano and Cartago City Tour

    This morning was an early morning as we had an Irazu Volcano and Cartago City by Train tour via Airbnb Experiences with Alejandro. Now I didn’t check the weather before packing like I usually do I just assumed it would be hot here. I do remember however that he advised…

    San Jose, Costa Rica: Historical and Culture Walking Tour with Jules

         It was a cloudy Sunday morning and I found myself awake at 6:45am (why I don’t know). No one was outside in the park and the roads seemed to be fairly clear. The only activity we had planned for the day was cancelled by the host due to…

    San Jose, Costa Rica: The Central Market

         After going to bed so early in the morning I surprisingly got up around 10:30am thanks to the sound of dogs barking in a busy park outside. The park was full of adults, kids and dogs walking, playing and eating out. The skies looked clearer outside though they’re calling…
