    The Osa Peninsula, Corcovado National Park

    January 19, 2013 / No Comments

    The Osa Peninsula was one of the most astounding places that I’ve ever visited.  With its misty beaches, its abundant wildlife,  and remote location, I truly felt like I had come to the ends of the Earth. I stayed at the La Leona Ecolodge and being right on the beach, it was wonderful to hear the ocean waves every night. The rooms here are tent cabins.  They have enclosed tropical garden bathrooms.  It was lovely to shower beneath a palm tree.  There is no electricity in the rooms, nor internet connection which made it feel like a true escape.

About Me

I am always looking for the perfect escape, the perfect paradise, the kind of place that tosses your cares into the sea. Fortunately, I have discovered many! I created this site to show you where to go and how to get there. My goal is to show you that Paradise is only a plane ticket (or boat ride) away. I have inspired many others to travel and to create a better life. I am available for inspirational speaking, coaching, writing, travel planning, and photography.
