Welcome Back!

Our backyard tiki bar in use

Le Bora Bora - on our honeymoon 2023

Hello, hello! We're excited to be back and have lots of updates to share.

​First and foremost, Wayward Sprits has been revived! You can expect all the same, great things from WS as before — original cocktail recipes, destination guides, bar reviews and more.

Second, hi! If you're new here, this is Autumn Enoch. John and I are working on the blog together now, which brings me to some life updates:

John and I got married at Paradise Point Resort in San Diego on September 21, 2023, and then spent two+ magical weeks in French Polynesia on the honeymoon of our dreams.

Then, after years of weekend getaways, in June 2024 we moved to San Diego, where I'm originally from. We upgraded to a beautiful rental house with a pool and (of course) backyard tiki bar near La Jolla.

We're also working on a namesake cocktail book filled with all of John's best original recipes, and we're hoping to publish it before next summer.

Finally, the biggest update of all. We're working toward our future plans of ditching our corporate jobs and opening a beachfront tiki bar in Costa Rica.

For real. Not a daydream, not hyperbole. We're taking actions to realize that dream.

So, follow along as we work toward publishing our first book, becoming expats and opening up the best tropical bar in Costa Rica. *Now taking reservations for 2035* 😉
