The Monthly Dispatch
Once a month, Glen shares a featured spotlight, the newest verified listings, and a story from the road.

October has a way of slowing me down just enough to notice the small things, and this issue feels full of them: a lovely stop at Bacchus Restaurant in Santa Ana, a warm welcome to some of the 2,497 businesses that joined us in September, and a story that follows chocolate the long way from tree to bar at Blue Valley Chocolate. I hope you settle in with it the way you would on a warm porch at dusk, with something good to sip and a little time to wander.

September has a way of slowing me down just enough to notice the good things, and this month I’m glad to share a little of that with you — from Bacchus Restaurant in Santa Ana to eight new places that have just joined the directory. I’m also bringing you a story about New Sanno, that quiet corner in Tokyo that always seems to offer me a breath when the city starts feeling too wide.

August feels like a good month to slow down, pull up a chair, and look a little closer at the places that give a trip its flavor. In this issue, I’m sharing Bacchus Restaurant in Santa Ana, welcoming 8 new places into the directory, and taking you along on “A Different Side of Costa Rica in La Cruz,” where the road has a way of revealing more than you expected.
