ADVENTURE TIME : Costa Rica

I have been told before, that Costa Rica is the most pristine place on Earth. I spent an entire month in Costa Rica to unwind from several years without a vacation and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself, EVER.

Can you imagine being this immersed in nature? It was an immediate relief from the busy streets of NYC and the spinning workloads that never end. I felt human again. We spent many days watching the surfers practice in the waves of Playa Hermosa and watched in awe as some of the most talented surfers I have ever seen ride some pretty intense surf.

It was my very first time going white water rafting in Manuel Antonio and we did it in a very famous river in Costa Rica, the cleanest river in Central America.

How Can I Even Begin to Describe this Place?

In May I received a call almost right after getting off the plane from my trip to Costa Rica. I was hoping to ease back into my life in New York City slowly but surely, but the universe had other plans for me. The Baccarat Hotel was opening in NYC and they wanted to work with me to scout the best talent for this upscale wonder of a hotel. I was a bit hesitant at first, as I knew this would be quite the task, and I was still trying to manage balancing my already hectic life, but something inside me knew that this was an opportunity not to be missed. I scheduled a tour of the hotel for the very next day.

Upon entrance, it becomes perfectly clear that the Baccarat Hotel just might be the finest luxury hotel in all of New York City and perhaps the world.

It is with great pride that we can now call Baccarat a steady and loyal client.
