Goodbyes are never easy and I do my best to avoid them, but hence our internship has come to and end and I must prepare to turn another corner in my life. Over the past three months I have lowered all of my walls, stepped on toes and in turn had mine crunched too… I opened my heart and soul to six other people Read the rest of this entry »
The time has come where my day–not weeks–and minutes–not hours are limited in Costa Rica. Soon I will pay my last Costa Rican exit visa and board the jet plane—not sure when I’ll be back again. Therefore, it is time for my reflection Read the rest of this entry »

If this is not the title of everyone else’s blog I will be surprised. This was the theme of my last weekend as a Poker Intern in Costa Rica, which is also what I consider to be one of the top five experiences of my entire life.

It is said to be one of the five best river rafting trips in the entire world Read the rest of this entry »

Hey Shawn, How did you end up in Costa Rica?
I talked to a friendly guy named Jon from Texas Tech today. He’s playing in the Bust The Interns tournament, and he was curious about the AP internship and how I got it. Well kiddies, buckle up, because here’s the story.
