My Travel Optimizer

Hello

My name is Jim Graves. I’ve been traveling all my life. I spent my childhood in South America and in Africa. I’ve been all over North America and have traveled extensively in Europe. One of my favorite countries to visit is Costa Rica. Its a beautiful, peaceful, progressive Latin American Country. I am fluent in Spanish and have been there many, many times. I started this blog to share what I know about traveling. I’m not rich so I like to save money. I also like to get as much as possible out of the money that I do spend. I hope this blog is of use to you and please do not be shy about sharing what you have learned and experienced.

I have a Flickr page with photos of our travels which I will be adding on to as time goes by.

You can email me with questions at mytraveloptimizer  @ the email service that google provides for free.  You know, gmail.  Sorry I can’t put an email link in there but I just wind up getting a bunch of spam.
