I initially intended to visit Costa Rica on my own — and I envisioned a lot of reading, writing, reflecting and listening to birds. You know, nature stuff. But I’m always welcoming of a travel buddy, so when the opportunity came up to take the trip with a friend, we both jumped on it.

The Costa Rica Travel Guide is meant to help you book and plan your trip with confidence and take away the stress that often accompanies the unknown.
