Biography:

Thank you for choosing Forest Unlimited Recreational for your vacation
travel needs! We understand that the demands of today's bustling
businessman or hectic housewife include the desire for a stress-relieving
escape from it all. That's why we've designed relaxing expedition packages
to showcase the world's exotic sights, and especially sounds, of extrinsic,
remote jungle paradises that the average college student or office worker
would normally never experience.

Our travel packages will whisk you away to the mysterious and magical
rainforests and jungles of the globe. The domestic and familiar sounds of
the American temperate rainforest. The tropical harmony of Central
American coastal jungles. The hypnotizing drums of the mysterious
Amazon. Enticing tribal rhythms from the Congo River Basin. Exotic
foreign beats from Southeast Asia. And the extraordinary, colorful cadence
of Madagascar wildlife. Together with the natural vibrations of indigenous
urban jungle habitats.

Dance the night away under the chromatic, kaleidoscopic evening stars
amongst the fur, feathers, and scales of fellow tourists and native
fauna. Celebrate the cultural biodiversity and social immersion that our
aural excursions provide. Your tour guide on this journey will be Rigel, a
convention DJ with nearly a decade of experience piloting travellers
through musical paradise. Remember to bring loose, colorful clothing for
the tropical climes and freedom of movement, as well as your best
zoological camouflage to blend in with the inhabitants. We look forward to
serving as your recreational guide! Services currently available only in
Pittsburgh, PA.
