Is Costa Rica A Safe Place To Travel?

I'm thinking about going to Costa Rica.

I keep hearing two things.

First I hear that the southern Pacific coast is lush with good beaches while the northern Pacific coast is drier with beaches that aren't as great.

Second, I hear that the airport in San Jose was one of the least safe places people have experienced. From what I understand, theft is the main issue with pick pockets and theives roaming the area. I also have heard that it is a long and hectic drive to get from the airport to the… Continue

Royal Caribbean Wins Responsible Tourism Award

I love to travel, but I always worry about the effect traveling has on the environment. The good thing is that companies are recognizing the need to protect the environment so things are getting better.

Along these lines, I was happy to see that Royal Caribbean cruise lines was honored with a responsible tourism award. The primary reason they won is because they are buying ships that produce far less pollution compared to ships built just ten years ago.

As I said, things are getting better, bu… Continue

Have You Ever Gone On A Yacht Charter Vacation?

I'm thinking about going on a yacht charter vacation.

From what I understand, there are many different types of yacht charters. You can rent a yacht and cruise around by yourself or you can charter a yacht vacation with a captain and crew. Sometimes you are alone and sometimes it is a larger yacht with other people.

I like the idea fo finding a husband and wife team who own a boat and cruise around the Caribbean on there own each year and then host a few vacations to help pay for their own tra… Continue

Let's Go Travel Guides Written By Harvard Students

I have used the Let's Go travel guides for many years, but never realized that they are all written by students at Harvard.

The guides are aimed at student travelers, but I didn't realize they were written by student travelers.

From what I understand, students apply for travel writer positions in the spring. If they are chosen, they go through some training and then head out to various destinations during their summer vacation from college. Their reports are sent back to student editors at Har… Continue

Looking For A Vacation Home Rental

I'm still doing research into options for a three to four week vacation with my family.

Since we wil be in one location for so long, we are starting to look into renting a vacation home. We have never rented a vacation home before so we don't exactly know what we are doing.

If anyone has suggestions for the best way to find, compare, and see reviews of specific vacation homes, I would appreciate it very much.

Looking For A Vacation Destination

I'm in the process of looking for a destination for a trip my family will take in the next two years.

We plan to take a three to four week vacation since we haven't gone on a vacation in quite awhile.

The reason we haven't done much traveling is we are having our second child in July only a year and a half after our first child was born.

Because we will have small children with us, we need to find somewhere that allows a child friendly setting. This means we don't plan on going to multiple de… Continue

The problem is that the best way to get paid to travel is as a travel writer, but professional travel writers are disappearing because everyone can now be a travel writer. Also, people voting on review sites is a much better way to figure out what r…

I looked into them a few years ago and remember liking the prices and options. I think the main reason why I still chose to stay at a land resort is because I was afraid of being on the water. I'm not sure if it is sharks or the thought of being cap…
