Liebster Blog Award

Beth — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:33:53 +0000

Our friends Ben and Charli over at Wanderlusters nominated us for the Liebster Blog Award, which isn’t really an award, but more of a chain letter, a way of reaching out to other bloggers you feel deserve a bit of recognition for all their time spent. Plus you get to ask all those burning questions, [...]

Scuba Diving – Our best locations so far…

Gaz — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:58:46 +0000

“Diving is the closest thing you can experience to being in space. It’s also a lot cheaper and you’ll find a lot more life under the sea; maybe even a mermaid or two” With 28 dives in five different countries under our belt we have developed a new obsession with being under water. We wanted to put together a [...]

Take the time to learn a new language…

Beth — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 18:34:34 +0000

We’ve been invited to write a blog post for the ‘Inspire Language Learning: Blogger Challenge‘ about what we think is the most important benefit of learning another language, is it traveling experiences, career, love life or brain power? You can easily argue that learning another language benefits all of these aspects of your life. For [...]

Capture The Colour Contest

After Stephen Cook nominated us for this contest, I thought it would be rude not to enter. So thank you for thinking of Enjoy The Journey Stephen! Traveling with just a 55l backpack means there’s not a lot of room for fancy equipment so my passion for photography is very much a personal thing, a [...]

Title says it all, perfect picture op but not our usual style. This one’s for you mum, and Sonia! :)

Chocolate Factory Lesson No.1 – Don’t eat a raw cacoa bean!

Beth — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 07:19:31 +0000

As another excursion effort, we went to see how chocolate was made. Gaz being the good boyfriend he is, was happy to whisk me up a mountain to see my favourite thing in life, I’m sure there was an ulterior motive there somewhere. So we cracked opened a cacao pod fresh off the tree (with a [...]

Jaguar Centre, Puerto Viejo

Beth — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 22:38:05 +0000

Feeling like we should get stuck in and act like tourists again we signed up for a few activities in and around Puerto Viejo. This is not our usual style of traveling, we like to go at our own pace, stay away from the crowds and find the hidden gems rather than the obvious. However [...]

Surfing on Cocles Beach, Puerto Viejo

Beth — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 22:18:04 +0000

Whether surfing or sunbathing Cocles Beach is the places to go. Not too crowded but there’s a few people if you like to have a nose and people watch from behind your book, or slyly check out the hot surfers without your boyfriend knowing ;) Just 5 minutes walk from Rockin J’s hostel and about [...]

Rockin J’s and the crazy ark

Beth — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 22:00:42 +0000

All I can say is… I hope these pictures display the utter craziness enough. Here’s the background info you need to know… Rockin J’s is a hostel in Puerto Viejo, and is very well known as THE party hostel. So after a few days in the lovely clean and comfortable Pagalu we headed to the [...]

King of the road

Beth — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 21:14:46 +0000

On the way back from our bike ride from Puerto Viejo to Manzanillo we found a sloth trying to cross the road, with her baby on her back. As cars whizz down this road, we did the ‘noble’ thing (geddit?!) and held up the traffic so they could cross. They were so cute, and her [...]
