Costa Rica has always been in my girlfriend’s bucket list of travel destinations. As for me, I felt neutral about it but I was more than happy to take my girlfriend there. My impression of Costa Rica since going there is that it’s pretty much like the United States. There’s Americans everywhere (which is…

During my most recent holiday, I got a chance to visit Panama on my way back home to Canada. After travelling in South America, I noticed that the best way back to Vancouver is to fly out of Costa Rica. And on the way to Costa Rica, I can spend a few days in…
Travelling in Panama and Costa Rica is some of the most expensive trips I have ever taken in my life. Both Central American nations are not cheap to visit. US dollars are widely accepted in Costa Rica and Panama stopped using its own currency (with the exception of coins). This is the result of…
Kalalau Trail is considered to be one of the world’s most dangerous hikes. The weather in Kauai is very unpredictable and it would often rain out of nowhere after an intense sunny day.

Hiking the Kalalau Trail is something I have always wanted to do. I’ve seen the awesome pictures on google of people hiking the beautiful ocean cliff side of Napali Coast and immediately felt eager to do the hike. I started recruiting people right away to see who would be interested in joining me in…
Antelope Canyon is one of those places that you would imagine to be in an Indiana Jones type of movie. It’s an amazing sight to behold as soon as you get a glimpse of what it looks like inside the cave like structure. You cannot just enter Antelope Canyon, unfortunately… You must take part…
