Two years ago I started writing online travel journals just to keep in touch with friends back home and people liked them so much that told me they couldn’t stop reading them and that I should write a book. Well, my other plans for generating income proved to be unreliable (mural painting – I am an artist, and teaching ESL – English as a Second Language). I ran out of money and had to go back to the States.

Since then I have decided to start a new career – in writing! I’ve been working day and night for three months and finally I have created a book from my travel journals. We’ll see if this writing idea works…. Actually, I know it will. I have so much determination that it absolutely has to work. I’m headed back to Costa Rica in a few weeks and I’m not running home broke again! Wish me luck!
