Once I discovered the tropics, first in Southeast Asia, and the later in Hawaii, I knew where I wanted to be, at leastin terms of climate and geography. My travels eventually brought me to latin america where I have lived now for over 20 yrs.....First in Costa rica, and 10 yrs later in Panama. And both these countries allowed me a platform from which to explore many other central and south american countries........and Im not done yet! So knowing what its like to travel on a budget while exploring and learning about other counties, cultures and languages, I am happy to be able to facilitate others doing the same.........
