When the beachside bar opens around 6 or so, and the music starts blaring out over the sand, volleyball net and fire pit it starts to feel as though we are characters in some kind of strange sci-fi, 1950&#8217;s Beach blockbuster. The soundtrack and atmosphere are pure Gidget-esque material, but then there all all these slightly surreal props and set pieces. Like instead of sitting on blankets or logs on the sand we perch on huge whale vertebrate, and the stark black lava rocks occasionally look as though they are undulating like the waves; when the dragon-like marine iguanas that are covering them start to move and distinguish themselves from the rocks they blend into so well.<br \/>\n<a class=\"size-large\"

think of California as officially \\\"home\\\" but can usually be found a lot closer to the equatorial belt. After finishing a Masters program in 2011 I found myself trying to decide between a couple of different high-powered career options. I decided I wasn't quite ready to \\\"grow up\\\" and went with an entirely different plan which involved selling off everything I owned with my partner Tom and buying a one-way ticket to Colombia. Our plan was to travel \\\"Till The Money Ran Out\\\" and then go home to start our grown-up lives. Instead, we started our own app development company on the road and have been criss-crossing the globe, traveling, working, eating spicy food and refusing to \\\"grow up\\\" ever since.
