I always enjoy speaking with Deborah Howell on her wonderful show, "Destination with Deborah Howells," on Nexttrip Travel Radio. This morning we cut two live interviews, on Colombia and Costa Rica.
On the Costa Rica segment (click the link to listen in) I discuss my favorite places, including my love for Manuel Antonio National Park, and Arenal volcano... Plus I tell anecdotes about plunging my 4WD vehicle irretrievably thigh-deep in mud while researching the Moon Costa Rica guidebook... talk about hotels and restaurants... and review the cruise-tours of Costa Rica and Panama for which I act as expert on behalf of National Geographic Expeditions.
I'll be acting as a National Geographic expert aboard two other cruises this October and November. Why not join me on these exhilarating 8-day trips focusing on enriching wildlife experiences?
