About me: 
I have bad spelling. But if I've been there, I'll tell you about it!



I have been surfing my whole life. I love the ocean and often refer to it as my church. However, for the last few years I have put my surfing on hold to be a full blown snowboarding powder hound and moto-doggin'dirtbiker. As of May 2006 I have been back in the ocean riding waves in Fiji, Australia, Indonesia and Hong Kong.



I was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii. I grew up at the beach surfing with the boys who later came to be known as the Backsiders. In 2000 I embarked on the "Tour O' B.Downes!" My first stop was Boulder, Colorado and not long after I was cruising with the biggest Rock Stars in the Rockies. Since then I drove the Mainland United States, tended bar in Wisconsin and snowboarded my face off in Tahoe for a season. After a short stop home in Kona, I took off on a boat trip throughout Fiji, embarked on a New Zealand extravaganza and toured the East Coast of the Australian continent. I have been island hooping in Indonesian, scuba diving in Thailand and zipping through the jungle canopy in Laos. Now I am in Hong Kong having the greatest time of my life!

Have the Adventure of a Lifetime this New Year…
with Adventure Life!!!!!!

Let me introduce a fantastic company offering you the chance to travel to South & Central America and beyond this New 2009 Year!!! I know you have exciting new resolutions, goals, dreams and ambitions this year and Adventure Life can make those dreams into a reality. Having the opportunity to travel with Adventure Life was an incredible way to experience their first-hand knowledge of Latin America and other locales. They specialize in cruise packages, group tours and organized vacations. Unlike many of the other tour groups and guides out there, Adventure Life makes your vacation a personalized, incredible memory not just your ordinary boring group tour.

What do you want to do this year? Would you like to trek the Costa Rican rain forest, scuba dive in Belize, hike the ruins of Tikal, walk the rocky shores of Guatemala, explore Bolivia, cruise the Panama canal, see the vast mountains of the Andes, sky dive in Peru, take a Galapagos cruise, zip line through the rainforests of Ecuador, Amazon treks, sip hot chocolate on a cruise to Antarctica?!?!?!?!

I chose the Antarctica Cruise Adventure and I couldn’t wait. Being able to cruise through the blue ice of the cold Antarctic was a dream come true. Depending on your trips length, you can spend time visiting the Antarctic Peninsula, Falkland Islands and the mountainous South Georgia. Zodiac excursions allow up-close encounters with wildlife and the blue icebergs that float quietly in the surrounding waters. Onboard experts lectured on the region’s natural history, weather and captivating wildlife that we had the pleasure to see during the Antarctica tour.

There are so many destinations to choose from and depending on your group size you can have an intimate setting, family oriented, friendly reunion or spring breakers paradise dream trip. You can choose from escorted or unescorted trips depending on your travel style. Escorted Trips are with one of our local tour leaders traveling with you on most stages of your trip. Unescorted Trips are with local guides specializing in each region help you discover the beauty of their homes through their eyes. You’ll either have private guide service with your personal group or join a small group of travelers at your lodge, cruise or yacht. Adventure Life is committed to providing quality small group tours that have a positive impact on the local culture and environment. Groups are kept to a minimum, welcoming a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Each tour is designed to present the very best of each locale, at the same time allowing freedom and flexibility for the unexpected and unpredictable that makes each tour, each destination completely unique.

Previously the only way to find out about the Gibbon Experience was by word of mouth in Laos. It isn't in any Lonely Planet Books, only on Matador Travel. Say the words Gibbon Experience in Laos and instantly other backpackers listen up. It is the best thing to do in Northern Laos. With canopy...
