Teaching English in Costa Rica
It’s easy to find yourself surrounded by lush green jungle, a kaleidoscope of flowers, and a menagerie of animals. You can even have this in your backyard if you wish. For me, this is a huge part of the magic of Costa Rica and the main reason I chose to live and work here.

RIP Steve Jobs
I am truly mourning the loss of Steve Jobs. His creative genius has made my life and my job more fun and enjoyable on a daily basis.
