Grateful in Costa Rica: We Said Go Travel

Published: Tue, 11/19/13

PURA VIDA COSTA RICA

Our ten days in Costa Rica were filled with adventure. In Puerto Viejo, we biked to several lovely and undeveloped beaches. We loved the Red Lava tour of Arenal Volcano near La Fortuna and especially enjoyed the thermal river after dark! Traveling across Lake Arenal by boat was beautiful. The night hike with Ficus Trails in Santa Elena was incredible; we saw bioluminescent wood, three sloths, a kinkajou, stick insects, leaf insects and sleeping birds. We celebrated George's birthday day at El Jardin at Monteverde Lodge . It was definitely the tastiest and most memorable meal of our Central American stay! Samara Beach is a lovely undeveloped beach setting and we enjoyed live music at Rancho De La Playa.

George has been growing our Instagram account. Please connect with us at: http://instagram.com/wesaidgotravel or on Instagram. You can see all the photos he has taken at that site or on our Facebook Fan page.

Enjoy our latest interview as an Adventure Couple on Mountain Travel Sobek. George and I have both been writing up a storm: two recent Articles on the Huffington Post: Life by Keith Richards, and Why Are America's Teachers Leaving the Profession , as well as all about our trip to the Philippines: Exploring Manila on Johnny Jet, Bountiful Bohol on Dave's Travel Corner, and Exploring Palawan with a video of Lisa hula hooping with the Iwahig Dancing Inmates. More adventures from the Philippines coming soon!

George's Birthday Dinner at El Jardin!

From Dave's Travel Corner:

The book is a travel memoir, a collection of stories, very useful travel information and quite a bit of romance. It is written in two voices: those of Lisa and George... the two voices actually complement each other, making everything easier to understand. "Traveling in Sin " tells the story of this couple, the journey that they follow as their relationship evolves during long term travel. The book is a must read for anyone who dreams of traveling the world.

Hiking near Arenal Volcano in Costa Rica

Our Memoir is available: Traveling in Sin

We left last July for Indonesia for this one year journey and five years ago in July for our first one year sabbatical! Read our memoir, Traveling in Sin, to learn how we met online, and chose to meander from Indonesia to Mongolia. Along the way, I lost over fifty pounds and we got engaged underwater. This book is NOT a collection of blog posts. We have never published this story before! Enjoy all the colorful characters we met and the tears and triumphs of a Peace Corps Worker and a Princess (cruises employee) finding their way together in Asia.
