Tropical Adventures had the amazing privilege of hosting 125 volunteers last week from the world’s leader in Sensory Innovation, Givaudan Fine Fragrances. Three long months went into planning a special trip for Givaudan Fine Fragrance employees who attended a global team building and corporate bonding event here in Costa Rica for a four-day period. Billed as “Givaudan Growing Together 2007,” participants arrived from France, New York and South America to “grow together” as a company, as well as to do their part to help the environment.

We're very excited to announce that we have our new online store up and ready in time for your holiday shopping! For a couple of years now our volunteers have asked us about buying t-shirts and other products with our Tropical Adventures logo that they could bring home to share with their family and to help support us as a non-profit foundation.

From time-to-time we veer off the subject of volunteering to announce something special. Today I wanted to announce to you some great news. One of our special friends, long-time supporters and consultants to Tropical Adventures has just published his first book, Triple A’s for the Soul - Your Pathway to Personal Freedom.
