Personal Travel Companion

"Wow! This was the most fun I've ever had. I was so worried about traveling to another country, especially one where I did not know the language or culture. I was only days away from booking an expensive week at some beach resort where I probably would have done nothing but eat and drink in a lawn chair. Then I found your travel companion website by accident when I clicked a wrong link.  After reading some I said "that's the kind of adventure I want to live". Let me tell you, that you did not disappoint.

You took me places I NEVER would have tried to go on my own.   Like taking us over the border into Panama just so we could find some good scuba diving at Boccas del Torra (too bad the water had been turned up by that storm - oh well it was still so much fun).   And spending time on Bastemenous island.  I didn't know that places like that existed.  No roads, no cars, no tvs, just a single walking path and lots of jungle.  I didn't even know people lived like that, and yet you still found us such a wondrous place to stay with that great German couple.   I could see fish through the floor of my hammock room.  Amazing!  I really broke free from my comfort zone there.

I still can't believe how much I did in only 10 days.  I will never forget the experience and it was worth every penny.   Honestly our backpacking saved so much money compared to the resort I was going to go to, that your expenses were nearly covered by the difference.   How cool is that?"

Tess and I just want to thank you for the great job you did showing us the less traveled areas of Costa Rica.  We are very happy of discovering your travel companion service.  Your experience in the area  allowed us to see so much more than we expected.  Our expedition up to the waterfalls in the jungle of Montezuma was extraordinary.  I don't know how you found those.   Swimming in the waterhole at the bottom of the falls, not a person in sight for hours and the sound of monkeys howling overhead.  It was my favorite part (though climbing down those tree roots to the pool was scary, but made for a great story).   I think Tess like the snorkel trip to the island reef and the big pig roast BBQ on the beach.

We felt very safe and knew we made the right decision when you got our bags back even after the bus left without us on the ferry trip.   I just knew our stuff was gone and we were stuck, but you waived down another bus and got the driver to call ahead to stop the first bus.    That was great.  We think you are a good travel guide.

We will tell our friends about you, maybe you will get more work from them.
