a beautiful place to retire

May 23, 2010 By

Over the years, Costa Rica is a paradise for tourist. But, it is also a beautiful place to retire because of its warm tropical climate all year round, beautiful Pacific and Atlantic coast beaches, unspoiled rainforests and national parks, and more temperate mountainous regions bathed by virgin streams and rivers offers an ideal setting for the person who wants to live their dream.

Other than that it’s a country where it is safe to own land, even if you are not a citizen. Their law guaranties that every person, citizen or not, has the right to own land. So, if you are one of those people who want to own a property especially in Tamarindo, then it is best to visit Tamarindo Real Estate website where information you need is available. Basically, Tamarindo is a small, peaceful beach town on the Pacific side of Costa Rica. And it’s one of the hottest real estate markets in the world right now. So, it’s better to grab it now while it’s hot.

perfect time to daydream

September 27, 2009 By

Since its gloomy day, I feel I have all the right to daydream. Hahaha! It’s the perfect time to lie down and just think of anything worth thinking like destination weddings perhaps. I would love to go to one of Karisma’s collection hotel in the secluded white-sand beaches of the Mexican Riviera Maya. All I want is their Gourmet-Inclusive concept, designed especially for foodies. Add the elite level of service, luxurious accommodations, invigorating entertainment and the classy snap-to service that responds to discerning travelers’ requests.

I think it would be a very pleasant experience to rest in beach beds with retractable curtains for impromptu moments of ocean-view intimacy; beach side bar swings; dedicated Beach Butlers and design-conscious details all bespeak a private haven of privilege. That would be a great experience for me and for my hubby.

Save the planet

July 6, 2008 By

Unplugging appliances and switching off lights when they’re not in use are simple but tangible solutions to saving our planet. A climate and energy campaigner of Greenpeace, points out climate change as a serious environmental problem. The burning of coal in coal-fired power plants (where we get most of our electricity) emits greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, causing climate change.

Don’t wait for anyone to turn off the electric fan if it’s not being used. Each kilowatt wasted is an added problem for the planet – and an additional cost to our electric bill. If done regularly, these simple acts can become a habit, and eventually become part of a lifestyle change. Monitor your bills and you’ll see the rewards of your simple act.

Antarctic tourism?

December 9, 2007 By

Did you know that the last frontier on earth is being invaded by, shall we say Tourist?… Yes from the title of my post itself, I am talking about Antarctica….
I recently saw documentaries regarding these lucrative business, where in anyone as long as you have the money can go and witness the beauty of the Antarctic continent…
I am never against the tourist, but I am against to the thought that Antarctica is being exploited… So what happened to the treaties that hoped to protect this magnificient continent? There is a treaty that somehow carry out solution so that this area will be protected from any territorial claim of a country. Yes no one claim this area but there are people who wants to exploit it and used it to gain money and leave the area vulnerable to pollution and environmental degradation.
Who falls victims of these exploitation? Well if we would generally think of Antarctica, its barren, a wasteland, and lifeless but you might be surprised when you suddenly learn that there is life in this land…. Indeed there are penguins, sea lions, and the humpbacks whale, they are few the species who lives comfortably in these region…
What if oils from the ships who carries passengers spills out, gosh that would be a disaster… It would definitely kill a great proportion of animals not to mention the distraction it could bring to nature…. Garbages and other trash used by the passengers may bring pollution….
There are too many possibilities of what Antarctic tourism could bring in this vulnerable environment…
The reason why I wrote this blog is to bring awareness that some of the earths region must be preserved particularly the Antarctic region… This is the place where wildlife are the only inhabitants, they are vulnerable and could be phased out when time that this land is totally exploited.
When shall the governments acts on this serious matter? Tourism is benefecial to some aspects, that it brings about joy to the people and it could foster economic success to many businessman, but it could also jeoperdize the environment of Antarctica… So when do we react?
