What You Should and Shouldn’t Do While Visiting Sydney
Travel has been my life mentor for well over the past seven or eight years. Through exploring unknown lands, meeting new people, experiencing new things and facing an avalanche of challenges. I’m fortunate to see the world through a new set of eyes every now and then. Sydney is one of my favourite destinations on the planet, an incredibly friendly and laid-back city, with residents who admire their harbour and are happy to share it with people from all parts of the world. But this wasn’t the case every time I visited. There are a couple of things you should still avoid to ensure you have a safe staycation, be on the good side of the locals and most importantly, don’t get ripped off.

The Best Vantage Points to view SYDNEY fireworks
New Year’s Eve is an exciting event, which is celebrated globally. But as you all know, in Sydney, it is an experience that is more than just exciting. Being in Sydney for the past one year, I am well-acquainted with this city, its festivities and its people. If you followed my previous article, I let you in on a few tips for a hassle-free New Year’s Eve experience in Sydney. I also remember mentioning several vantage points around Sydney Harbour, where you can view the NYE fireworks and harbour events. This New Year’s Eve I have decided to go aboard one of the New Year’s Cruises in Sydney to view the fireworks yet again. That’s when the idea of sharing similar few vantage points crossed my mind. On that note, here are the best venues for a splendid view of the fireworks:

What You Need To Know About Costa Rica That Nobody Tells You
I have lived in Playa del Coco for four weeks and Playa Flamingo for five weeks now. I also stayed in Tamarindo and San Jose. I have met a ton of people from Potrero as I live near the border of Coco and Potrero and have frequented businesses in Potrero. This is my overall observations of Playa del Coco. I have decided to include this post because I seem to meet a lot of people who are debating between Coco, Potrero, Flamingo, and Tamarindo. I thought I would keep this simple and make a list.

Next Mission - The Ouachita Trail
This fall I’m going home to Arkansas. I’m going to drive there. Then my dad is going to drive me to Oklahoma and drop me off in the woods, and I’m going to walk back. But I’m going to do it as fast as I possibly can.

What You Need To Know About Costa Rica That Nobody Tells You
We are off to Tamarindo! Jorge, the nice driver, picked me up from the hotel as promised. However, he had no idea where the bus terminal was. I tried to Google it but not much turned up. I gave him the name of the bus company, Transportes Alfaro, and he asked if it was in San Jose. Thirty minutes later, he pulled over in front of a closed garage door and was puzzled. He said Transportes Alfaro used to be located there but was no longer. I asked if we should be looking for the bus terminal instead of the company and he said probably but he didn’t know where it was. I remembered that the concierge, Edgar, had given me his phone number so I gave it to Jorge to call him. When he called, Edgar said that he didn’t know either. This was puzzling to me. How can two people in the tourism industry for over two decades not know where the main bus terminal was? Eventually Google led us there.

What You Need To Know About Costa Rica That Nobody Tells You
I took a “taxi” (i.e. not a red taxi but one that had Turismo sticker on it as many tour companies use their fleet as “taxis”) that the hotel approved of and met an elderly driver who spoke some English and relied on Google Translate for the rest. I paid him $25 US to drive the 10 km distance to the European School which is comparable to the taxi fare from the airport (10 km also). Although it was located only 10 km away from my hotel, it took about 30 minutes to get there due to traffic at 11 am on a Friday. He was so friendly and enthusiastic that I ended up hiring him for the day. He quoted me $20 per hour and I thought it was reasonable.

Looking Back...Final Thoughts.
I have really enjoyed my different experiences on the AT, or the Appalachian Trail, which is an east coast mountain range that runs the length of Georgia to Maine. My first adventures started in a previous blog, which you can read here. I try to be a stickler on my mileage as I’m hiking, but enjoyed the daily-occurring spurts of spontanety. That could be stopping to chat with someone in a shelter, listening to the wildlife around me (NOT rattlesnakes!), listening to other's conversations, hearing the background of why people are on the trail, and even smelling nature.
