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!

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!
