Costa Rica Pura Vida !

Hello ! High off my amazing trip to Mexico City I decided to head to Costa Rica! I’ve been wanting to go to Costa Rica forever and traveling there from Mexico is so much easier than Italy so off we went! After landing in San Jose we got our rental car and headed to Quepos where we were going to stay for the first half of our ten day trip… I wanted to be near Manuel Antonio national park as I heard this was the best park to see Sloths…. Quepos is very nice and has everything you need. It’s close to other cool towns like Dominical, Puntarenas, Tamarindo, and Nauyaca Falls. Then we were headed to the most southern point of Costa Rica The Oso Peninsula!

Since we were driving south first stop was Rio Tarcoles. This is the crocodile bridge. We got out to see the crocs and take pics! To be honest I was scared to lean too far over and get a better pic! We heard a man wandered down there one night (drunk I presume) to get a closer look (WHYYYYY) and well no ones heard from him since… Quepos is really nice, if you do go to CR I recommend you begin your trip here. What amazes me is as you drive it’s just so green. The jungle here is really incredible but it’s not too developed.. I heard that it’s taken 25 years for them to build a highway and yes its quite new… driving in Costa Rica isn’t easy (more on that later)

My first time seeing Sloths was in Puntarenas at the Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary. http://alturaswildlifesanctuary.org There were only two both of them three fingered and female. You can’t get near them or touch them and they are in a small enclosed area. The tour in itself is meh (my 2 cents) I mean come on I am part sloth so I already knew all the rhetoric but it’s a beautiful place with a view and they have GREAT Tamarindo margaritas! If you don’t want to do the tour enjoy lunch in their cafe . It has the most beautiful view .

FINALLY my second day here and I am on a private guided tour of Manuel Antonio Park and I have a GREAT guide who shows me all the sloths. EIGHT of them, helps me take pics and vids, shows me birds, snakes, monkeys and is really knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the park. The beach at Manuel Antonio is so beautiful too. We spent about four days here then headed south to the Oso peninsula.. Oh boy…….

So driving in Costa Rica is quite the experience . I’m told that we should rent a 4×4 and this is the only way to drive in CR… I also heard the roads were paved AND I saw plenty of cars so we should be ok driving into the Oso peninsula right? Well this works IF you stay in Quepos OR around San Jose the capital…. Heading south the map says two hours. Well this turned into six hours! I booked the weekend at a place called Luna Lodge http://lunalodge.comlocated on the peninsula overlooking Corcovado National Park. The closest town and last stop is Puerto Jimenez”. The road from Puerto Jimenez is 45 km and should take they say an hour and a half… It took us almost three. It’s not a road but gravel, with huge Potholes and you have to cross 7 rivers then go up two mountains.. Trip advisor doesn’t tell you this! Even a 4×4 wouldn’t make it! We somehow managed to get about 4km away from the lodge in our car with people (when we would come across them) looking at us like what the heck ! f you can picture the roughest terrain in the jungle at night this is what we were driving through! I literally had no idea! There is a ranch about 4km from the lodge owned by a sweet Canadian couple who are used to seeing people and tourists stuck so her husband and his horse go up the mountain to the lodge to tell them “hey you have two people who want to check in!” and then he rides down and then someone from the lodge eventually gets the truck and comes to get you . We finally arrived to the lodge and it’s a really nice treehouse with a good working bathroom! Sleeping in the rainforest..is like a constant hum of thunder, rain, insects, monkeys, and I can’t even describe what else! There’s no wifi, and I now go about my second “mission” which is to go deep into the Corcovado national Park and find a Tapir ! I found two sets of tracks on both of the days I was there but no Tapir. I managed to hike 12 km in and out of the forest and avoided being pooped on by the monkeys which were very aggressive ! I realized after spending the weekend at Luna Lodge that as much as I love nature and I was grateful for the experience I do love the city and all it’s comforts!! Plus now we had the drive back…

We had four days left so we went back to Quepos and went to Nauyaca Waterfallshttp://nauyacawterfallscostarica.com and just hung around Quepos. Laying by the beach, swimming seeing sloths when I could and a lot of relaxing.. It was nice and just a really beautiful trip. If I go back I would like to see Limon on the Caribbean side. There is a Sloth Sanctuary I would like to see and the beaches and scenery from this side of the country. I can check off something from my bucket list and what an amazing tip! XO Tera

Crabby in Krabi – The Rocky Part of our Thailand trip

Krabi by The Sea .. Leaving Chiang Mai in the beautiful mountains it was time to spend the last two weeks of our Thailand trip by the sea. For months Alberto and I watched our favorite YouTuber Paddy Doyle document his entire journey through every providence in Thailand and we couldn’t wait to see the breathtaking seaside for ourselves. If you’ve been reading about my trips you know what I mean when I say there’s a “dip in the trip “.. This is usually the part where I’m not feeling it or enjoying myself . August is the monsoon season in Thailand so expect a lot of rain . We arrived to Krabi airport late around nine-thirty P.M , and were bombarded with driver’s who insisted on taking us to our hotel as there were no other options .. It was a bit unnerving , being crammed into a van with ten other people , completely dark , pouring rain with a two hour ride to the other side of the island since our hotel was the furthest away but here we go! Low Tides and Limestone cliffs We finally arrived to our Hotel http://krabihomeresort.com and it was going to be sweet relief to climb into bed after a day of traveling. A staff member (BLESS HIM) waited for us to arrive (at midnight no less) had an umbrella , change (for our shuttle driver ) and big smile on his face as he carried our luggage up the hill to our bungalow. Morning brought us overcast skies but warm smiles from the wonderful staff at our resort and a good breakfast . We’d have to wait until tomorrow to get a longtail boat since the forecast was rain and rough seas. We decided to explore our beach area Tubkaak , and spend the day relaxing and eating some good home cooked Thai food.. The tide was low so I was able to Vlog and walk quite a bit. The sunset was stunning.. Hong Island (Koh Hong) Our hostess at our resort booked a longtail boat so we set of to Hong Island . It takes about 20 minutes and is an easy quick day trip . Located in the Thanbok Kharanee National Park the beach is divided into two sections. The landing spot for the longtail boats is where you pay 400 thai baht to enter the national park . We climbed the 420 steps to the Hong Island Viewpoint which was quite a workout but you’re rewarded with the most breathtaking view of this magical island . The white sand beach is super soft ,clear, and warm. We took some beautiful photos then got back on the longtail boat so we could swim in the Hong lagoon .You have to pass through a narrow rock opening to enter the lagoon but it’s another world . The towering limestone cliffs , and turquoise water are breathtaking … Have your hotel pack a lunch or grab food and snacks if you plan to spend the day on the island or boat. I don’t recall if there’s a shop to get food or snacks once you get to the island.. A watertight beach bag is a must to protect your clothes, phone, and anything you bring with you onto the beach.I recommend checking with your local host also for the weather since it can change rapidly. We were having the sweetest sea time here , so why did I have to suggest we see something else… Rocky times in Railay So here’s where our trip gets rocky.. Railay Beach was a quick trip from Ao Nang the main hub and starting point of Krabi . After 3 days I thought let’s go see another part of the Island! It’s not that I get bored (well sometimes) . It’s that I want to see as much as I can when I’m in a new destination. So we drove the two hours to the Ao Nang pier , then a 10 minute longtail boat ride and finally we were towed into the Railay Beach resort and spa by a tractor . My first impression of Railay beach west wasn’t a good one. The scenery and landscape is pretty but the beach itself was dirty. Or should I say .. messy ? Walking the beach path towards our resort I couldn’t help but feel like we stepped into some some kind of trap. Tourist trap maybe ? Weed shops, fast food and a few tiny cafes lined the concrete path along the trash filled beach…. Eager to escape the loud techno music and the sound of crocs shuffling against sandy concrete we checked into our room and planned out our next three days… What the heck were we going to do for three days here ? Our resort was big and although outdated in terms of aesthetics three big crystal clear pools called out to me so I could cool off in the scorching humid heat and watch the moneys squabble over snacks they’d steal off of tourists breakfasts plates LOL We found one cafe that served good Pad Thai and wasn’t blaring music 24-7 so that’s where we enjoyed our meals . On our way back from the cafe that first night my husband decides to stop by and inquire about rock climbing tours and signs us both up ! Why not! Those limestone cliffs look easy to climb AND what else is there to do around here! No I’ve never rock climbed in my life but in my Kevin Hart voice “you’re gonna learn today! You’re gonna learn what rock climbing is today ! And here’s how it went .. Phra Nang Beach Shadowrock climbing met us bright and early at Phra Nang Beach along with hundreds of other tourists also geared up and ready to scale the gorgeous cliffs. I went first and let me tell you what you might already know ; ROCK CLIMBING IS HARD . Mad respect because

X3 Expo in Los Angeles

My first X3 Expo ! Hey guys it’s pouring rain at home here in Italy so I’m catching you all up on my travels ! Christmas 2023 and the New year brought me back to Los Angeles . I stayed an extra three weeks to attend my very first X3 Expo presented by XBIZ . XBIZ is one of the two main B2B and award shows in the Adult industry . I had the privilege of hosting the XBIZ Awards with comedienne Orlando Jones in 2013. X3 Expo Details The X3 Expo http://X3.show takes place in Hollywood , California mid January at the Hollywood Palladium and features Pornstars (past and present ), webcam models , and creators /influencers from the adult industry. The set up was definitely more “chaotic” compared to the booths and tables that are provided at the AVN show . The Palladium is a nightclub so our setups were bar tables and barstools and we were packed pretty tight together but as pornstars we’re kinda used to that LOL Honestly it was pretty funny for me because I knew literally no one! I have no idea who I signed next to those two days but across from me were my friends Fleshlight http://www.fleshlight.eu/products/tera-patrick . X3 Expo Friends !! Well it turns out I did find my friends after all !! One of my favorite ladies in the industry Lacie Lennon http://linktr.ee/misslacylennon always comes to see me for a hug and I love talking to her. She’s super smart. I love how she’s handled herself and her career . Tommy Gunn was one of my favorite performers to work with . Such a kind and humble guy. My good friend Gege who’s always traveled with me and did my very first expo in Los Angeles wanted to say hello to Ember Snow who’s always stunning and sweet . I don’t do awards shows anymore but after some time it was great to stay in LA and meet up again with my fans . I don’t think I had made an LA appearance in almost 10 years! Unless you catch me at a CVS or Thai town … It was fun and thank you to my wonderful LA friends and fans who made it out !! XO Tera
