More about my Early Days in San Jose

DSCF1191

My main hangout in my early days was the old NY Bar. It was a mix of gringos, mostly men, and locals, both men and women. The women there were not all hookers but there were always a few hoping to snag a customer. One of the more unusual experiences I had there was one [...]

Why I Moved to Costa Rica

DSCF0039

I am fast approaching my nine year anniversary of moving to Costa Rica. And yes, time DOES fly when you’re having a good time! Unlike many others, I had not visited the country numerous times before deciding to do a trial move. I had visited several other countries with the idea of settling down in [...]

Annoucing New eBook: Clueless Clyde in Costa Rica

Clueless Clyde in Costa Rica

I’d like to thank everyone who has enjoyed the Clueless Clyde series, and encouraged me to put it into eBook form. I went back and revised the material and have added mostly new photos. For those who haven’t been following the Clyde saga, It’s about a guy not too much unlike how I was when [...]

Hermosa

There is a website called Costaricantimes, who posted an article (4 articles, actually) called “CR Sex Tourism; Loving Gringos for a Living.” I got suckered in and clicked on the link.

Ticanomics

Having spent more the eight years down here and gotten to know more Ticas (and others) than I can remember, I have at least a shaky grasp of what many of the local girls are dealing with. I have also talked to countless gringos, travelers and expats, ABOUT the local girls. I have come to [...]

We’ve all heard the expression, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander,” right? I had that brought home to me recently in a couple of different ways. I’ve probably mentioned before that I generally have girls come over to my place when I’m in need of company. After living in San Jose [...]

“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” – Mark Twain I have an unappealing habit of disagreeing often with common wisdom. I am a skeptic by nature and experience has only added to my doubtfulness. I tend to get into a [...]
