Costa Tica Travel
Lives in Guanacaste Province, Coco, Costa Rica
Hi! I'm Kimi, your Costa Rica expert! ☀️ I've been living in Guanacaste, Costa Rica for three years now, but I have been a repeat traveler to CR since 2016. My experiences have enabled me to create carefully crafted content inspired by local knowledge. ➡️ Living in Costa Rica has given me the opportunity to get to know Costa Rica's top destinations authentically. Before living in Guanacaste, I lived in Heredia, outside of San Jose, for 5 months. From Tamarindo to Puerto Jimenez, Monteverde to Uvita, Puerto Viejo to Playas del Coco, I've had the opportunity to travel to all different destinations and discover many hidden gems off the typical Costa Rica itinerary. As far as types of travel, I'm a big advocate of slow travel, but I have done many different kinds of travel within CR. I have planned or helped others plan backpacking, family, and girl trips to this beautiful country. Working as an international teacher has given me a different perspective in advising longer trips to Costa Rica. I've learned many tips and tricks for finding community, getting around without a car, leasing an apartment, learning Spanish, renting a vehicle, and surviving in the hot province of Guanacaste. It's very important to me, as a traveler, that I understand the cultural context of the country I am traveling to. My goal is to help my clients feel comfortable and confident in Costa Rica, while respecting this country's unique norms and culture. My itineraries and guides are designed with all kinds of travelers in mind. From solo traveling to family trips, I've helped many people plan their dream vacation to Costa Rica. My goal is for you to experience Costa Rica at its most authentic, getting to know and interact with its unique culture and biodiversity. I’m excited for all that awaits you when you answer the call to this natural wonderland. I’m happy to help in whatever way I can along the way! Pura vida!

Caitlin Summer
Lives in Alajuela Province, La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Hi yall! I am originally from Texas but personally call Costa Rica my home. Over the past 8 years, I have lived & traveled Costa Rica extensively. I love sharing my passion for Costa Rica in hopes to give someone else a unique and memorable experience that might just change their life like it did mine. The story of how I ended up in Costa Rica is what many call a fairy tale. It all started in 2016 when I took a semester abroad. I quickly fell in love with the culture, the people, and all the immense amount of adventure and beauty at my fingertips! I was determined to move to Costa Rica one day. Long story short, by the end of my program, I had fallen in love with my host ¨brother¨. A 4 year long-distance relationship and a wild pandemic later closing all borders for nearly a year, I finally boarded that one-way flight to Costa Rica & never turned back! We are now happily married living that Pura Vida! What I enjoy most about CR is the DIVERSITY! There is always something new to explore & for all types of travelers. The amount of varietal experiences in CR is outstanding! Costa Rica is not a one-stop shop destination; it is a country that will get you hooked and returning soon! :-) As each year passes, Costa Rica grows in popularity. In fact, Travel & Leisure has claimed Costa Rica as the top travel destination for 2024! With so much info out there on the internet, planning a trip to CR can be particularly overwhelming and confusing. I have seen a lot of info online about CR travel that is simply not accurate. This is usually because the info is coming from 1x blogger visits who simply have not experienced ALL of CR in ALL times of the year. This is when connecting with a local becomes super beneficial -- like me! :) I would love to be your Costa Rica travel BFF! I'm an open book and here to help you curate a life time experience! Vamos a Costa Rica!

Hello fellow traveler! I´m Jahel from Costa Rica. I´ve been a nomad for the past 4 years, and have dedicated my time to exploring charming corners of Latin America. I´m passionate about slow travel, I have found there is an undeniable allure to the idea of slowing down, savoring each moment and immersing oneself fully in the beauty of travel. I believe that travel should enrich your soul, broaden your perspective, and inspire you to live life more intentionally. I invite you to explore the world, not as a tourist rushing through a checklist, but as a traveler immersed in the tapestry of culture, nature, and human connection. So, whether you seek to wander through the cobblestone streets of historic cities, hike the winding trails of pristine wilderness, or simply savor the simple joys of life, I am here to help you curate the journey of a lifetime—one that unfolds at the perfect pace for you.

Sierra Hahn-Ventrell
Lives in Austin, TX, USA
Travel is my life. I travel to experience the culture, the food, and the people of the places I visit. Don't get me wrong, every now and then I like to do the touristy things or take a vacation just to relax but my specialty is finding ways to experience the culture without feeling like a tourist. My name is Sierra. I grew up in Washington, D.C., and have been traveling since I was a kid. I've lived in Costa Rica, Florence Italy, in a van, and in and out of Airbnbs across the continental U.S. while traveling with my husband and dog. I've been a digital nomad, got the girls' trip out of the group chat, and traveled solo, but most of all I love adventuring with my husband and dog. When I met my husband he had never really traveled and didn't think it was possible to travel unless you were rich. Over the years, we've learned to travel no matter what our budget is or where we want to go. We've done everything from hostels to five-star resorts to boutique eco hotels and camper vans. We know that each vacation is different depending on what type of trip you're looking for and that is why my guides are tailored to different types of travel personas. Are you looking for a wild girls' trip in Cabo? I've got you. Interested in exploring Costa Rica's off-the-beaten-path beaches? I'll share my favorites. Looking for that perfect romantic trip (so much so that this is where my husband proposed!)? Don't worry I'll share with you our perfect day. I love sharing all of my favorite things about travel and hope you too will enjoy each of my favorite places around the world! Reach out to me to schedule a travel consultation or book a custom itinerary!

Julia Koetsier
Lives in Barcelona, España
Hola! I'm Julia, a 23-year-old born in the small town of Woerden, The Netherlands. In 2017, I had the opportunity to take my first trip outside of Europe to Ghana. This journey opened my eyes and showed me that the world has so much more to offer beyond my familiar and trusted surroundings. After hard work and saving money, I was able to take the step and travel solo, starting with a trip to Central and South America. While I sometimes visite popular tourist attractions, I'm primarily in search of unique, hidden, and meaningful experiences. Nothing makes me happier than enjoying a fantastic meal in a place with a story, talking to a local. The goal of my travels has always been more than just a simple vacation. Traveling means meeting new people, discovering a new part of yourself, learning about different cultures (especially their music, dance, and food), sharing opinions and experiences, and broadening my perspective. Planning and creating a trip is incredibly exciting, but I understand it can be challenging and overwhelming when you don't know the area! Although I'm not an expert and there are certainly many more impressive and beautiful places to discover than those I've seen, I want to share my experiences this way. I'll provide insights into both the most wonderful experiences and my honest opinions, along with the practical challenges I've faced. Getting to know different cultures, meeting new people and discovering beautiful places has become more than a hobby. For the past 2.5 years, I've lived outside of the Netherlands, spending time in Barcelona, Mexico, and Chile. I hope to excite and inspire you as you plan your dream trip. 💛
