In an effort to better understand women’s movements for peace,  I interned this semester with Un Mundo Sin Ejercito, the Costa Rican sector of Berkeley, California’s A World Without Armies (AWWA).  I initially planned to join their team to plan and participate in the “1er Congreso d…

I thought Amanda was exaggerating when she would tell me of the horrors of the city, and would lightly chuckle at her stories. Now, I have viscerally felt what I once heard. San Jose is a caricature of itself. Equal parts dirty, dangerous, and distracting. San Jose, clearly, was not a city calmly …

Esta fue nuestra luna de miel. Cuba y costa rica

TUEPower flickered off and on then off, then recovered. Read there are problems with ICE the government run electric utility, stupid unions are trying to prevent competition, and causing problems, might be related? Read later the effort failed. Was easy to find dentist office, and for $40 my teeth …

El plantemiento del viaje es básicamente el contacto con la naturaleza en su estado puro.

Summer 2009 trip to Costa Rica. I stayed in Liberia at a friend's house.

We had our last morning back at the Barcelo San Jose Placido.  Caravan was offering transfers back to the airport all day, but I booked our airfare wrong.  We started on June 16, so 10 days would be June 26th ... right?   Wrong - day 1 was really the arrival day, not the next da…

nach 10h busfahrt (statt 8h wie vorgesehen) erreichen wir muede san jose. die hauptstadt von costa rica ist definitiv kein highlight auf unserer reise. abgesehen vom grossen theater im zentrum gibt es keine nennenswerten sehenswuerdigkeiten. wir leben von fastfood und pizza, geniessen den wohl best…

December 2007/January2008 travel blog - My new friend Olli, Trip to Chicago for the Holidays, Allentown visit tayler, and New York city.

It's pretty cold and wet from Halloween till Christmas in Vancouver, so: I'm outta here! Yes, I'm a 23 year old snowbird ;) Post-trip: Filling in this blog seems far too overwhelming... maybe Tom and I will sit down one day, and just go for it... one of these days... haha

This is my trip to Mexico and Central America with my buddy Beau. Our plans are to see some ruins, lay on a few beaches, and hike in a few jungles. This blog should tell you all about it.

An early rise at 05:50. We have a long journey ahead of us and it starts by driving for 5 hours to San José airport. We reach the renting company at the airport without much trouble. In about 5 hours we’re there. First we had to drive the very bad road from Tamarindo to Liberia, then the ‘high…

The trip was part of an architectural summer course studio i took during the summer. The topic was labeled "wet studio". The course gave us an oppurtunity to sustainably design a structure in a tropical climate. Although we were there to study, we had a facinating time as we visited the cities of Manzanillo, La Fortuna, and San Jose.

Our hotel room was all we could hope for.  Clean and cheap, with reasonably comfortable beds :-)  Upon checking in, we promptly headed to the restaurant for some much needed grub.  Costa Rican food is not too bad.  It's a bit plain but it's good.  Our first meal consisted o…
