My love affair with Costa Rica began in 2015 when my family and I took our first trip. We stepped into a world of amazing culture and wildlife that captivated us immediately and have been visiting yearly ever since. From hiking remote beaches in the Osa Peninsula to helping protect newly hatched sea turtles, I’ve experienced the country in meaningful and unique ways that go beyond the typical Costa Rica travel advice. Today, I help travelers plan meaningful Costa Rica trips without the overwhelm, and I serve as a go-to Costa Rica source for writers looking for real on the ground insight. If you’re planning a trip or telling a story about Costa Rica—I bring firsthand experience, local perspective, and a deep love for this extraordinary place.
