Visiting Nature in Costa Rica (#4)
A staple when soaking up nature in Costa Rican is a hike part way up an active volcano to see gorgeous waterfalls. Paraiso Volcano Lodge, the lodge we stayed at I described in the previous article, was nestled in between two volcanos with a third a reasonable drive away. There is Miravelles, which we skipped but would have loved if we had a whole day to dedicate; then there is Rincon de la Vieja, which I had originally aimed for since it has natural hot springs nearby; and then there is Tenorio, which we did.

Zen Driving in Costa Rica (#2)
In my first article about our honeymoon in Costa Rica, I introduced the concept of la pura vida. Here, I provide an example of it by imparting some key details on driving along the streets of Costa Rica, in particular Guanacaste province. And yes, at the time of writing, Canadian driver's licenses were accepted - no special paperwork required.

Stilts Calatagan Beach Resort in Calatagan Batangas, Philippines
We traveled from Manila to Calatagan, Batangas, on December 23, 2023, to visit their lovely beach. Our major goal is to visit a public beach; unfortunately, I believe that practically all of the beaches in Calatagan are privately owned. We decided to visit the Stilt Calatagan Beach Resort when we got to Calatagan because we didn't know where else to go. Our driving experience has been poor; when we get to Santo Tomas, Waze directs us to a road that is both narrow and winding around the mountainside.

Four Stunning Locations I Explored in Tanay Rizal Province, Philippines
On December 10, 2023, my project manager, one operation engineer, and one driver decided to explore Tanay Rizal's beauty and wildlife. Our project manager was picked up first in Eastwood City from the driver's lodging, and we were picked up second in Mirea Residences in Amang Rodriguez Santolan, Pasig City. We went at 7 a.m. for Tanay Rizal. Our first goal was to visit the Masungi Georeserve, but we were unable to do so since they require advance registration or reservations before you can enter, and walk-ins are not permitted. So we decided to continue our journey, but first we stopped for a coffee at Big C Delicafe.

EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival feat. The Fray
I’ll be honest: I am not a fan of living in Orlando. And I don’t even technically live in Orlando, I live in the suburbs. I moved here two years ago to do the Disney College Program, and never left after my program ended. With life looking like I’ll be Orlando-adjacent for a while, I figured it was time to start looking at O-Town from a different lens.
