Hello and Welcome! My name is Jeff and I am a collector of cultural experiences through travel. As a geographer, I truly understand that our planet and the people are interconnected. Through travel, I continue to learn about this amazing planet and the people that inhabit this wonderful world. My hope is that this page will help you connect to the places that I have had the privilege to see and write about.

Cheers!

    Procrastination. Anyone heard of it? Anyone guilty of it? Well, when it comes to sharing the stories and pictures of our travels and adventures I am the worst. One day I found myself rummaging through old notes and story ideas and came across my notes for a story about Chicago. In this story we are doing our best to try and experience all the wonderful food, culture, architecture, and amazing people that Chicago offers up to visitors.
  • Costa Rica ~ 200 years and Still Not an Island
    To speak about Costa Rica, one first has to understand that it is more than just a country or a place on a map. To truly understand Costa Rica, one needs to know the people, the culture, the food, and the climate. Because to be in Costa Rica is a truly immersive experience, or at least it should be. From San Jose, the capital city to the small pueblos that dot the inter-mountainous regions to the ocean communities on either side, this country has a vast repository of places and experiences for those travelling here, as well as those who live here.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”
