Our lives these days are pretty much made up of work and mindless relaxation to wind down and then prepare for work again. We work a minimum of 8 hours a day and in addition we have two factor into that the preparation for work and transportation to and from work which easily adds another couple [...]
As a trained chef and a food lover, I adore working with restaurants. Like my work with Hostels, I offer my marketing services for free to small business owners (sorry Chains, you have to pay). Here's how it works... Invite me to dine at your restaurant and show me your best. I will randomly pick 3-5 [...]
As a full-time traveler who lives out of hostels, I love to give back. I offer my marketing services for free to all of the hostels that I stay in. Here's how it works... Invite me to stay at your Hostel and show me your best. I will make videos of my experience and push those [...]
Ok, here's the thing... I'm living out of Hostels and moving every couple of days. I'm getting sick of carrying this thing around so I am lightening my load and buying an Ukulele or something! Let's start with the basics... This Handpan is used! It's been all over with me, from the mountains of Corcovado to [...]
First let's start off with "Why Should You Care?" TikTok is the fastest growing app in the world and is moving quickly toward featuring small business owners. Millions of corporate dollars ar flowing in and TikTok, in my humble opinion, is the "Facebook" for business owners. For a more in depth analysis, see my article [...]

I love to have people join me on the road! If you've been following me on my journey around the world and thought, "OMG, this looks like so much fun, I would love to do that!" then do it! Hop on a flight and join me on the adventure of a lifetime! I don't plan much [...]
I love this hostel! I've stayed here two different times while in Costa Rica and my experience has been fabulous both times. Costa Rica Backpackers has been around for over 15 years and is located in the capital city of San Jose and it's a popular stopover for those just entering the country as well as [...]
This town has been one of my favorite stops in Costa Rica and although I only intended on staying for 1 night as a stopover, I just couldn't leave! I ended up staying almost a week and enjoyed every minute of it! Dominical is a beautiful little surf town on the pacific side just north of [...]
When Patrick and I left Corcovado and started making our way north we happened upon a cool little beach town called Dominical. We spent the first night at Piramys Hostel which was like a giant pirate ship (read the review here), and we fell in love with that little town. We were headed down to [...]
I'm still not sure what to think of this Hostel... We booked online at Hostel World because the reviews said that although it was a dump, the vibe was amazing. They weren't wrong on either account... First, the dump. The place was filty, food all over the kitchen, bugs, laundry hanging everywhere, the staff was [...]
There are few places on earth like Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. In fact, the "last frontier" of the Osa Penisula is literally the most biodiverse place in the world!
