Arriving Into Manuel Antonio National Park
I barely got an hour of sleep before we had to wake up at 5:15am to catch taxis to the Bus Station for Manuel Antonio. BEWARE: LONELY PLANET AND EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG about where to catch the buses to Manuel Antonio and Quepos; right now common...
Crossing From Granada (NI) To San Jose (CR)
Today we shrugged off the comforts of a direct international coach bus (that would've taken care of everything for us at a hefty price) and opted for independently navigating our way from Granada, Nicaragua to San Jose, Costa Rica by way of the cheap and local...

The ‘Most Dangerous Place On Earth’ & ‘Murder Capital Of The World’
To be honest, I didn't know this until after booking my tickets...but we're about to fly into the "one of the world's most violent places" a.k.a. The Murder Capital of the World: San Pedro Sula, Honduras. You might be thinking, Oh, Calvin, you CHOSE this place...
