About Me

Costa Rica is a popular destination for surfing
Costa Rica is a popular destination for surfing

Discover the incredible natural beauty and relaxed coastal lifestyle that make Costa Rica a top destination for surf and eco-friendly travel. Perfect for nature lovers, wellness seekers, and adventure enthusiasts, Costa Rica offers a laid-back vibe with warm weather and consistent waves year-round.

Home to some of the world’s best surfing beaches, Costa Rica welcomes surfers of all levels. Tamarindo, on the Pacific coast, is ideal for beginners with gentle waves and a lively surf culture, while experienced surfers are drawn to Santa Teresa for its powerful, challenging breaks.

For a true surf-camp experience, unwind at Dreamsea Avellanas, just steps from the famous Guanacaste coastline. Known for its warm, consistent waves, breathtaking sunsets, and vibrant atmosphere, it’s a favorite for travelers seeking community, comfort, and connection to nature.

Traveling with a larger group? Beachfront vacation rentals provide privacy and space while keeping you close to the surf.Beyond the waves, Costa Rica offers endless adventures. Enjoy a catamaran cruise, zip-lining through the rainforest, snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, yoga, or hiking to stunning waterfalls like La Leona. Surfboard rentals and guided excursions are readily available.

Wildlife encounters are a highlight of any visit. Explore the Tamarindo Estuary to spot monkeys and crocodiles, or visit Las Baulas National Marine Park, where if you’re lucky, you may witness leatherback turtles nesting or hatching.Costa Rica proudly leads the way in sustainability and eco-tourism, protecting its natural environments while delivering unforgettable travel experiences.

Contact me today, and I’ll help you plan a surf-filled, sustainable Costa Rica vacation tailored just for you.

The All Inclusive Vacation was wonderful.
Reviewed By Fun in the sun - Brentwood, Tennessee | Traveled to Los Cabos | Baja California Sur | Mexico
Jo Ann helped my husband and I book a stay at Paradisus in Los Cabos at an adults only all inclusive resort. Our main goal was to golf and relax by the pool afterwards. The dining was excellent. She listened to my wishlist and gave us the best vacation and we will reach out to her the next time we travel. Liv D

The views of St. Lucia are the best!
Reviewed By Sunny Skies - Franklin, Tennessee | Traveled to Saint Lucia | St. Kitts and Nevis | Caribbean
We worked with Jo Ann to find a beach spot in the Caribbean that we had never visited before. Jo Ann picked just the right spot for us at Jade Mountain Resort in St. Lucia. The resort was breathtaking and accommodated all our needs. We consider ourselves foodies and the dining here was amazing, especially during sunset when there was such a amazing view. We can’t wait to go back to this resort and will contact her for the next stunning vacation. Michelle T

Best family vacation ever!
Reviewed By Peters Family - Nashville, Tennessee | Traveled to Punta Cana | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
We had a family vacation before school started back and were undecided where to go. We reached out to Jo Ann and she suggested Nickelodeon Hotels in Punta Cana in the Caribbean. She made sure our travel itinerary went smoothly, as we had several young children. The kids loved everything about it, we had had access to the waterpark, a lot of fun activities for the kids and especially meeting the characters. Lydia P

Nashville rocks!
Reviewed By Mom of Many Runners - Fort Wayne, Indiana | Traveled to Nashville | Tennessee | USA
We visited Nashville recently to cheer on my daughter in the Rock and Roll Marathon and let Jo Ann book our trip. She suggested a few tourist spots while we were there, we saw a concert and visited a few attractions, and took a boat ride on the river. We had a great time and the suggestions she made allowed us to take the worry out of planning and have a fun trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Celebrating our anniversary in the Dominican Republic
Reviewed By Tammy S - Winter Park, Florida | Traveled to Dominican Republic | Caribbean
My husband and I were interested in visiting the Caribbean for our anniversary. Jo Ann suggested Secrets Cap Cana Resort & Spa, an adults only resort that was All-Inclusive. We were extremely happy with the resort along the way, and they took care of all our needs. We relaxed and ate plenty of good food and soaked up the sunshine. We had a wonderful time while we were there. We would recommend this resort and her to anyone!
