Dolphins

I’ve wanted to swim with wild dol­phins ever since I can remem­ber. I went through a petu­lant teen­age denial of this when swim­ming with dol­phins sud­denly became a fash­ion­able life dream to pos­sess. This period didn’t last long – my dream was too big to be con­tained through con­trar­i­ness and it per­sisted like an itch that needed scratch­ing all through my twen­ties.

Saves me a nights accom­mod­a­tion as well! Really look­ing for­ward to the beach now!

Sunset Surf in Playa Guiones, Costa Rica

We often wander dir­ec­tion­less on our travels but other times, like now, we are on a mis­sion. The des­tin­a­tion is a little place called Playa Guiones on the west­ern, Pacific side of Costa Rica. We have focused spe­cific­ally on this goal based purely on a rumour of world class surf. Con­tinue read­ing →
