Danger Dave is a certifiable renaissance man. He usually dresses in bright colors from his own “Cool Shit” fashion line and he complements those with interstellar glasses that allow him to see the world in a different perspective.

His art is like his vision—BIG. Really big. Giant inflatable balloons of big celebrities ranging from The Rock to Lionel Richie. Some say he blow

The last time I had a proper house with walls, roof, a bathroom and a kitchen was in the year 2015. I was in New York City working the business executive life. From that point on, I took a dive into a the vastness of the unknown and settled in a variety of minimalist nomadic houses that have included an off grid yurt, several tiny houses, and my camper. I have lived in farms, campsites, eco-villages, people's gardens and nature parks from the west coast to the east.

Roads don’t get the credit they deserve. The grid they form maps our towns and cities and show the shape of human civilization and expansion. Roads connect all of us, and they changed humanity from nomadic outposts to a massive interconnected grid where we all flow like electrical impulses on a circuit board.

It’s Tuesday morning. The candles are lit, downtempo is on and hair and make up is ready. My client walks through the door wearing no makeup and right away I’m in awe of her and her natural beauty. My makeup artist and I gush over her with excitement. She appears shy and nervous and we quickly put her at ease with our regular routine. With a glass of champagne in her hand we unpack the lingerie and feast our eyes as we get giddy with all our options.

Òköm originates from the dialect of the local indigenous Bribri tribe and it means 'to travel'. Our guests will enjoy a beautiful one-hour journey from the capital of San Jose deep into the green lush mountains of Piedras Negras, a remote village near Ciudad Colon a popular biking and eco-tourist destination. When they arrive at Òköm they will find the bar in the middle of an exquisite natural setting surrounded by local wildlife including monkeys, deer, mountain tigers, coyotes and birds of all kind. Nature and peace will surround you! We know that our guests will feel an energy that is so strong and clean it will while out mental baggage so that their minds are able to let go and clear, enabling grounded dreams to fly freely into higher ground.

David Houghton can claim something not a lot of people can match, and that is that he really did do every single fucking (of Africa that is). His love of biking has taken him to places most people would not have dared to visit, and to participate in races so intense, long and extreme that many bikers wouldn’t even consider to consider.

The answer to that is in the question itself because asking why some coffees are more expensive than others implies that they shouldn't be and that is that line of thought that no longer is anchored to reality anymore. This question assumes that coffee beans are a commodity that should have even prices. That could have been true the past but the ship of great coffee has sailed and we are now in a world that is ready to invest a bit more in order to get a lot more. Would you rather have Kraft dinner or go the best Italian restaurant in town for Mama’s secret recipe hand-made pasta?

The purpose of coffee is to seduce you, to drink a beverage that is so natural, so connected to the earth, such a product of the sun, wind and rain that it volts you with the energy of nature.

I want to make speciality coffee brewing easy, accessible and enjoyable to everyone that comes in my world. Do not get intimidated by the equipment, the lingo, or the process. Life is about learning new skills. Learning to make specialty coffee will give you the power to bring joy to yourself and the people whom you decide to share your coffee with. I commit to helping you discover this world.

Our farm is small, and Daguito does a lot of the work there right now, aided by more seasonal workers when harvest season comes. But when I'm there I always see him and make a point to spend time with him. Here are some questions that even though have very simple answers, show the wisdom of simplicity that many of us are striving for.

Finding your authenticity is less than easy because we have dreams about who we want to be that might pan out to not be true and that can be scary and any we know that new information that could challenge old notions and establishments could easily crumble if any major change of direction is needed.

The moment has come. Troubardour Coffee is now available and shipping. We have several hundred freshly roasted bags. Where will they go, who will drink them? What interesting stories will the coffee hear as people drink it all over the world? Some people will wake up to it, others read great books alongside it, some will bring a fresh cup to their lovers in bed, and others build new companies with it at its side. I know it's just coffee, but for me it is more than that. It is the physical realization of what happens when you let go.

I was on a boat in the middle of a pristine lake in New Hampshire with a good friend. The day was perfect, the wind was caressing my skin, the leaves were turning red, I had a glass of Nicaraguan rum on my right hand, a nice fat joint on my left. The sun was warm and it was essentially the most perfect day anyone could be in. We put this song on loop and it must made everything more ‘perfecter’. We both knew we were in a special moment, 20 minutes prior to this I had been riding my bike until I bumped into him and I got invited on his boat which was of course parked right there. Perfect serendipity. I was grateful.

To understand Costa Rica you must understand “Pura Vida" the motto and national expression of the country. People say it every day, all day in basically every type of situation and conversation. The term translates to "pure life", and in essence, it signifies that things are not just good, or great, or amazing, but a higher level up, which is Pura Vida.

These are my dedications.

Cocktail, Cocktail, if you could talk...

'Stories you could tell.

Love affairs at the motel,

only you really know.

In a land far far away lived the Troubadours. These fabled nomads traveled from castle to castle and from kingdom to kingdom in the Middle Ages singing songs of life and bringing joy wherever they went.

A cocktail is a marriage of liquids and flavors that are perfectly balanced and suspended at a specific temperature in thin air by a simple cocktail glass so that you my friend, can drink and enjoy.
