Throughout my career as a travel professional, every time I've traveled to Costa Rica - my experience has been different. I've visited various parts of the country - each unique and beautiful in their own way. For example, in San Jose, I stayed at a wonderful boutique property that was converted from a mansion. Another time, I traveled north of San Jose to another beautiful upscale mountain lodge - on the grounds of La Paz Waterfall Gardens - with both cloud and rainforest environment.

I've enjoyed a very romantic stay in an individual casita in Arenal, in the rainforest, with views of the volcano. And that's just the beginning of all I will share with you about these beautiful eco-friendly properties that are situated along waterfalls, nature parks, hiking trails -buzzing with hummingbirds, toucans, frogs, butterflies, and so much more wildlife. Active adventure abounds! At these beautiful venues, look forward to hiking, ziplining, watching a volcano erupt, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, horseback riding, sportfishing, and playing golf.

For more laidback activities, take a chocolate tour, visit the Poas Volcano, tour a coffee plantation, enjoy sunset dinners aboard a Catamaran. Or simply...relax on the beach. And one very special tip: Ask me to arrange a guide for you through the Manuel Antonio National Park. This is absolutely the best way for you to see all that the park has to offer, as your guide will be able to spot the wildlife and animals for you to photograph. (Be sure to ask me about the special way to take photos of the animals!)

I have more than 40 years' experience in the travel industry. And I've enjoyed many, many vacations and visits to this tropical paradise rich in ecotourism. Now... I look forward to sharing ALL this with you! Let's get together soon so you, too, will define Costa Rica as Pura Vida!
