About Me

Sloth in the wild!
Sloth in the wild!

Costa Rica is at the top of my list for favorite destinations. Known for its lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and vibrant biodiversity, Costa Rica offers a unique blend of adventure and relaxation. With years of experience and firsthand knowledge of the country's top destinations, hidden treasures, and eco-friendly resorts, I am dedicated to designing personalized itineraries that immerse you in the heart of Pura Vida. Every traveler will discover their own reason to fall in love with Costa Rica.

Exotic as it feels, Costa Rica is a short plane ride away from home. The country is just 2.5 hours from Miami, 6 hours from Los Angeles and 5 hours from New York. And with many airlines offering non-stop flights, you can have your toes in the sand in no time!

 

Costa Rica has more than 800 miles of gorgeous shoreline divided between the Caribbean coast and Pacific coast. Costa Rica’s picture-perfect beaches are world-renowned. Do you love to surf, swim, fish, or just enjoy the cool breezes? Or maybe you want to try scuba diving or horseback riding on the beach? Perhaps you’re hoping to spot sea turtles or even humpback whales? The options are seemingly endless. Choose from Puerto Viejo’s famous black-sand beaches on the southern Caribbean coast to the pearly-white sands of Manuel Antonio.

 

Visit Tamarindo in Guanacaste for great nightlife, Cahuita National Park for incredible scuba diving or the Nicoya Peninsula for awesome surf breaks! You can have it all in Costa Rica.

Notably, Costa Rica is one of the safest countries for family travel, and kids of all ages adore the myriad activities and outdoor adventures on offer. Moreover, Mmany hotels and resorts cater to family travelers with kid menus, onsite play areas and special activities designed for children. 

Once you step foot in Costa Rica, you’ll understand the meaning of this national motto. Pura Vida is much more than “pure life”, it is a state of mind – an appreciation of the simple pleasures of life. … This is best experience on the Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s blue zones! Whether you're seeking thrilling zip-line adventures, serene wildlife tours, or luxurious beachfront escapes, I ensure every detail of your Costa Rican adventure is perfectly curated for an unforgettable experience. Contact me and we can start planning you next vacation to Costa Rica.

Wonderful Memories!
Reviewed By The Bum's - Danville, IN | Traveled to Europe
Melissa was very helpful in planning our trip to Europe. She had sent us a sale brochure in the mail. She was always available when I called with questions. If she didn't know the answer, she would find out the answer and get back to me the same day.

Since she is in TN and we are in IN, all correspondence was by phone or computer. This worked well! I would do it again!

What a beauty!

Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica

This is one of the few Costa Rican National Parks where walking quietly isn’t necessarily the best way to see things. The marked trail along the beach is used mostly for observing turtle nesting, but the best way to see most of the park is from a boat. The main attraction of Tortuguero National Park is the turtles.    ...
