I grew up in a 1 stop light town in rural Pennsylvania. In 1999, fresh out of University (age 23), I moved to Costa Rica. Via a fateful "roommate wanted" ad, I met a fellow U.S. expat. With little money and less experience, we started an online travel agency. Today we're the largest in Central America, designing high-end, custom trips to Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua & beyond.
