TRAVEL-WELL
A TRAVEL CONSULTANCY
WE CRAFT MOMENTS OF EUPHORIA
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO TRAVEL-WELL?
FOR US, THE IDEA IS TO CARE AND TO CRAFT SOMETHING OF ART OUT OF TRAVEL. TO BE BOLD, ICONIC, INTREPID AND INVENTIVE AND TO CREATE ARTFUL MOMENTS. TRAVELING-WELL IS ABOUT A COLLABORATION....WITH THE CLIENT, OUR VENDORS, THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND ENVIRONMENTS SO THAT WE CREATE SOMETHING OF BEAUTY WHEREVER WE GO. IT IS ABOUT TRANQUILITY AND UNIQUE AND UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES THAT ARE ICONIC AND EUPHORIC. WE HAVE A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME ON THIS PLANET AND OUR AIM IS TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF EACH MOMENT. WE WOULD LIKE TO HELP YOU DO THE SAME.
“THIS IS FOR THE PERSON WHO THINKS MAYBE IT'S TIME TO LOOK AT THE RAKED ZEN GARDEN WITH ITS THREE STONES AND SEE IF HE OR SHE CAN CONVEY THE SAME POWERFUL, EVOCATIVE IMAGE OF SPACE AND BALANCE WITH ONLY TWO ROCKS OR EVEN ONE.”-YVON CHOUINARD
10, 080 MOMENTS
10,080. YOU HAVE 10,080 MOMENTS IN A WEEK-LONG VACATION. 10,080 MOMENTS TO EITHER SIT ON A LOUNGER AT AN ALL-INCLUSIVE DRINKING WELL LIQUOR OR 10,080 MOMENTS ON A CRUISE SHIP GORGING ON KING CRAB LEGS. THATS NOT BAD RIGHT? YES- IT IS BAD. WE HAVE THIS ONE LIFE AND IT IS TOO SHORT TO LAY ON YOUR DUFF LETTING PRECIOUS MOMENTS WASTE BY- GET OUT THERE! COME ON. LET'S GO!
WE THINK, AND WE BET THAT YOU WANT MORE THAN THAT. WE THINK, AND WE BET THAT YOU WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING AND THAT YOU WANT TO GROW. WE HAVE A BELIEF THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE THOSE BRIEF, BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS AND TURN THEM INTO SOMETHING. MOMENTS OF BELLY LAUGHS AND BATTLES WITH TROUT, TURNS IN DEEP POWDER AND DIVES INTO GIN-CLEAR WATERS. MOSTLY AND MOST-IMPORTANTLY, WE BELIEVE THAT YOU WISH TO HAVE JUST A FEW BRIEF MOMEST WHERE YOU FEEL CHILL BUMPS, WHERE A BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED SENTENCE, A SONG, A SUNSET OR THE HUG FROM A LOVED ONE MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE IT ALL HAS BEEN FOR THIS MOMENT.
WE CRAFT MOMENTS OF EUPHORIA
WHAT DO YOU GET THE PERSON WHO HAS EVERYTHING? TIME. MORE PRECISELY, YOU ENHANCE THEIR TIME AND HELP THEM TO CRAFT AND CURATE BRIEF MOMENTS THAT ARE THE PARAGON OF EVERYTHING THEY CAN BE- EUPHORIC. TIME IS THE GREATEST COMMODITY WE OWN AND WHEN WE ARE AT THE END OF OUR LIVES WE WILL LOOK BACK AND THE ONLY THING WE WILL HAVE IS A BANK OF MOMENTS. AND SO, WE SEEK TO CRAFT, DESIGN AND ENGINEER THE BEST MOMENTS. MOMENTS WITH FAMILY, LAUGHING, LEARNING, BECOMING BETTER, LOVING, EATING WONDERFUL FOODS WITH FEET IN THE SAND AND NOT A WORRY FOR MILES.
BY THE WAY, YOU COULD ALSO GET THAT PERSON A BLANCPAIN 50 FATHOMS. WE LIKE IT BECAUSE IT IS ICONIC AND INVENTIVE. THE FIRST PATENT WAS FOR A BEZEL THAT HAD TO BE PUSHED IN TO ROTATE, SAVING IT FROM BEING INADVERTENTLY ROTATED. WE ADMIRE ICONIC, INTREPID AND INVENTIVE.

INTERVIEWS IN YOLO JOURNAL
Then I happened to be emailing with Dylan Beeson, founder of the boutique travel outfit, Travel-Well, who told me that he “drove around Costa Rica surfing and figuring out life during a life change several years ago—pura vida helped! The way I do Costa Rica,” he added, “is the way I design trips: hit Arenal first for a few days, then choose between Santa Teresa, Nosara or the Dominical/Ojochal area. All have their positives, and this way you get a jungle/beach experience.” A few of his recs:
“In the Santa Teresa area (white sand beaches, great surf, great restaurants, secret beach near Malpais, the waterfalls in Montezuma) I like Nantipa Resort (well appointed suites on one of the best beaches in Costa Rica). Surf right out your door with their lessons or walk down the beach for a day with Del Soul Surf Camp. Hermosa Treehouse is an architecturally interesting luxury treehouse in the jungle but close to a deserted beach. More notes: Eat Sushi at Nami. Sunset Happy hour at Cielo. Swiss Beach (Secret) is just east of the intersection as you head to Malpais. Hike to Cabo Blanco… stunning jungle hike that rewards you with a deserted white sand beach.
In Nosara (a large arching white sand beach, hillside dotted with smart hotels, yoga shalas and restaurants. Not easy to get to) there’s Surf Simply (if you want more than an instructor telling you to pop while he pushes you onto a wave, they take instruction to a much higher level, maintaining high standards for rooms and food). Note: Try La Luna for sunset and dinner. Fantastic mojitos and delicious people watching.
In Dominical/Uvita/Ojochal (Down the coast, over the famous Crocodile bridge, you come to old Costa Rica: dark, deserted beaches; Scarlet McCaws flying overhead. Osa Peninsula is close by, terrific surf.) Try Kalon Surf Camp (or if you don’t want to surf, sit by the pool watching toucans and sloths) or Kura Boutique Hotel (8 suites tucked into the jungle in Uvita—adults only.) Notes: Take a nature tour of Osa peninsula to see Sloths, Scarlet McCaws and tapirs. Go to Bamboo room at Alma de Ojochal hotel for sunset and live music.”
