Why Your Next Vacation Should Be In Costa Rica

Last week, I made the decision to cancel my trip to Cape Town in March. The water crisis that the city is facing is so bad that I just didn’t feel right using water for leisure travel. Plus, my trip was fairly easy to cancel…

About Me
Joris
Welcome to ADrayInTheLife! By any normal standard, I am an intensely analytical person. I need to understand and to be able to make sense of the world around me. And that’s the beauty of traveling, it’s a never-ending opportunity to explore the unknown. To me, understanding doesn’t come from the swarms of tourists at the top-rated site in each city but rather from immersing yourself in an experience, to visit a place as if you were living there, to see it through the eyes of a local. I certainly don’t have all the answers but I’m loaded with questions and my own best guesses. So this is my platform… consider it a travel blog for the inquisitive mind.
