Flying Ultralights in Costa Rica

Here is some nice amateur footage of the hotel and ultralight flying over Samara. Notice 2 things... first off that guy is in my fucking hammock... second check out the runway I have to land on... believe me those trees are a fucking bitch.

My commute... stock footage

So in absence of a video camera... I want to show you all what it is like to commute on a motorcycle in Costa Rica. This is pretty accurate. I ride similar trails and roads to this everyday. It´s a fucking blast. Oh funny thing... always wear a helmet. Today on my ride to the internet Cafe. A coconut fell out of a tree and smacked the crap out of my helmet. I am sure that with no helmet I probably would have been knocked unconscious or possibly killed. I had to stop for 15 minutes to let the ringing in my head dissipate. So enjoy this video of what my commute is like. I´ll post real footage once I update my stolen electronics.

Video update

Freedom feels good... life is a grand adventure.

This song sums me up... feeling good.

The Castaways need Care Packages. See my wish list below.

So things are hard to come by down here. Not to mention all of my electronics save one iPod was ripped right out of my hands as I loaded my backpack onto a bus in San Jose. It's hard traveling solo. So I am flying and probably will be running a bar for the dry season. I'm still pondering buying a hotel but have lots of financial stuff to work out first. In the mean time here are things me and my friends need. If any of you can find it in your hearts or wallets to donate any of the items below to the cast aways down here it would be greatly appreciated. Oh and anyone donating art supplies will defintely get a piece of art from me of something Costa Rican in exchange.

Guanacasta Costa Rica update.

So let me update you on what I'm up to. I bought a motorcycle, got a Costa Rican driver's license, soloed again on a trike, surf some days... but mostly I go exploring on my motorcycle. I've been up and down the Nicoya peninsula. The roads are shit. 2 nights ago I camped on the beach in a tent during the worst thunderstorm I've ever experienced. It was quite fantastic. Although I was a little nervous about the little metal poles all around me.

I have met many wonderful people. All travels like myself. Each one of them turning their life into a magnificent adventure. And adventure with little or no money... but alwasy a smile. There is something special about a traveler. I know not everyone is but if you are get out there and see the world. There is time. But it will run out quicker than you know it.

Follow yours dreams. Oh and when in Costa Rica PUT YOUR PASSPORT IN A ZIP LOCK BAG! My is pretty fucked up from a river crossing chest high. I forgot it was in my pockets.

Gesine Ehrt... I might be in love with this woman.

She is such a doll. And she never saw me as angry Chris so I think she sees me as charming. Amazing what a lifestyle change can do for one's mood.

So this is her at the bar and one of her riding my new motorcycle.

Flying Crocodile Hotel and Flying Center

This is where I will be working come visit.
