When traveling the best sights are not the ones you find in a guide book but the insights you discover about yourself and your travel companion.
Canyoneering Tour in Arenal, Costa Rica
Mu-Hsien may look delicate, but I saw nothing delicate about her while she fearlessly scaled down a 120 foot waterfall. My cautious suggestion the day before that we should perhaps skip this unnecessary endangerment of our lives was met with "I'm booking it for us tomorrow morning."

Baldi Hot Springs in Arenal, Costa Rica

Olga's Cafe in Tamarindo, Costa Rica
Alla is rarely calm! Except strangely enough, when in stressful situations such as finding us a hotel room in a fully booked town during Christmas...or when she's eating. Like a wild animal, she must not be disturbed. Especially during our *wow-this-must-be-what-real-fruit-tastes-like* morning ritual.

Guanacaste coast, Costa Rica
While on a rough ride through the Guanacaste coast Mu-Hsien took artsy snaps of beautiful flora and fauna, while Alla excitedly pointed out large private villas in the distance.

ATV Adventure in Tamarindo, Costa Rica
At least we both agree that there are few sights that eclipse the magnificence of a radiant sunset overlooking golden rolling hills, undiscovered beaches and a friendship beyond borders.
