My Name is Charles Kassotis and I’m the creator and writer here. I live in Costa Rica for the time being with my best friend Hunter (my cocker spaniel). I love it here, it’s a great place to really dig down into your roots and enjoy life day by day. I go fishing alot, spend countless hours on the beautiful beaches, workout in my little neighborhood gym, blog and meet fascinating people from all over the world everyday. |

I’m also the creator of NextGenLinks.com and CentralAmericaTravelInfo.com, which I hope to be a big hit someday :) I love all things internet, I’m a programmer, designer, imagineer and overall entrepreneur!
I would have to say traveling and the internet are my two greatest passions, they fit so well together, although I have found a little corner of the world here in Costa Rica that has satiated my desire to travel for the time being.
My academic background is pretty diverse, I have a Bachelors in Electronics Engineering, a Bachelors in Hotel and Restaurant Management, I’m a great chef and a Certified Air Traffic Controller. I also have a two week certificate in Mixology, which honestly has been the most valuable of all. Funny, when I put it in writing, it doesn’t seem to make much sense :)
Started my first website back in 2004, made my first money online later that year and have never had a real job since, although I would argue that this has been the hardest work I have ever done, mentally.

Many of us take pride in our independence whether it is our ability to walk on our own or be able to make it on our own financially in the world. This level of individual success deserves to be honoured, but does it define us? Does independence mean I am a sovereign island unto myself?
