For those of you who have not heard the news, my good buddy, Michael Alan, host of Travel Costa Rica Now, passed away on Saturday after a brief battle with cancer. Many of you have probably watched his videos and some are here today because of the information and help you received. I know personally, that I received many, many emails and requests after the viewing of the video we did together.

Today, we mourn the sudden and tragic loss of our dear friend and esteemed colleague, Michael Alan. To honor his memory, I share two videos that capture his essence.

The first video is the most recent video message, reflecting on his life and legacy. It serves as a reminder of his incredible spirit and the impact he had on so many lives.
The second video is a cherished collaboration between Michael and myself from a few years ago, showcasing our shared love for Costa Rica and our passion for travel.
Please join us in remembering Michael and celebrating his remarkable life.
May his spirit continue to inspire us all. 💔😔🕊️🌹

We will be visiting Costa Rica from Aug 22 through Sept 4 this year. I would like to know of any Afro oriented businesses, restaurants, tourism, sightseeing, etc that we can check out while we are in the country. Also, do you still have have any availabilities to add a house music program to your radio station. If so, What is the process for me to get started asap. FYI,
