Introduction of Costa Rica's Pura Vida (#1)
In Costa Rica, there's a saying, "Pura vida." Transliterated, it means "pure life". Is that a philosophy? A euphemism? A relationship? Costa Rica is nowhere near as backward as you might think, so this saying is definitely not a euphemism.

How Our Personal Biases Color the Landscape We Actually See
The Beginning Journey Circumstances and serendipity had transported me to India. Over six years, I took four trips. The first was a soul-searching quest. Like countless seekers before me, I journeyed to the land of realized saints, rishis, monks, wandering sadhus, and enlightened gurus.

Four Stunning Locations I Explored in Tanay Rizal Province, Philippines
On December 10, 2023, my project manager, one operation engineer, and one driver decided to explore Tanay Rizal's beauty and wildlife. Our project manager was picked up first in Eastwood City from the driver's lodging, and we were picked up second in Mirea Residences in Amang Rodriguez Santolan, Pasig City. We went at 7 a.m. for Tanay Rizal. Our first goal was to visit the Masungi Georeserve, but we were unable to do so since they require advance registration or reservations before you can enter, and walk-ins are not permitted. So we decided to continue our journey, but first we stopped for a coffee at Big C Delicafe.

Our Trip to Rome
Every winter, my son and I travel around Christmas to warmer places. We both have long winter breaks as I teach and he is a student in academia, so we reward ourselves with a trip abroad. We've been to Brazil in 2019, Peru in 2021, and France last year. And this year, we decided to go to Rome.

Ambushed By A British Identity
I have always been fascinated by the British citizenship test, mandated by the government for new immigrants to the country; one which requires some answers that not even British born natives can supply! Obviously, top marks meant you acquired your new identity as a Briton, being fully integrated into the society, from the very first day!

Mother Combs, You Asked for It
Okay, then, so here goes, Mother Combs, from your: A Christmas Visit With Mother Combs A Getting to Know me Article 1) I think Christmas is mainly for kids. Don't get me wrong, it's nice when families come together, but when there is no Santa to anticipate or prepare for; the appeal for me, is gone. Honestly, no bah humbug here, though.

Wanderer
Forever my feet will drive me to roam. To wander the world in search of experiences and adventures so rich that my stomach aches. Strange places do not feel foreign to me, they are like long lost friends, welcomed back into my embrace with new, fresh eyes. The sights, the sounds, and scents of a new city flood my senses, igniting the ancestral memories embossed upon my soul. The architectural faces of ancient stones wear a familiar smile, and on the wind the echoes of voices lifted in songs that once vibrated in my bones. I feel connected to every place I touch, the streets a memory washed and faded by the waves of the sea. There is a homesickness nestled deep in my core, for places I have yet to experience; a longing that reaches into my chest and breaks my heart.

The allure of nature captivates me in myriad ways, offering not just a refuge but a profound source of joy, wonder, and rejuvenation.
