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.

Send any and all donations to the Castaways at>

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

And the living is easy!

Flying airplanes reading books and surfing. Damn life has it's ups that is for sure.

I am HOME. Living on the beach and flying airplanes! DAMN LIFE IS GOOD!

So I am at the flying crocodile hotel on the Pacific Coast in Costa Rica. I have been tentatively offered a job as a pilot. I start re-training today. I will be flying trikes and auto-gyros for tourists. Pay is 25 dollars a ride. Tax free. average is 8 to 10 rides a day. Weather is good here almost everyday. So you do the math! I'll make more here than at the software company as a manager. Plus he has several other opportunities for me for me to help with his real estate developement projects. Oh and did I mention he is German and has beautiful young German female interns here that rotate every six months to work the desk. Life is good. I will be shopping for a motorcycle this afternoon. He has cut me a deal to stay in my own bungalow for 2 weeks while I practice my flying.

Life is good. This was the right choice for me. Can't wait for visitors to fly around with me. PEACE. Follow your dreams!

I am in Nicoya on my way to the the beach.

I am in route to the trike school. Should be there within hours. The farther away from San Jose I get the nicer the people. I´m finally getting some peace from the vibe around me. I´ll write more later.
