I grew up in a one-stoplight town in rural Pennsylvania in the U.S. In 1999, at 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, Belize & beyond.
