A World of Experience
My journey didn’t start in Costa Rica. In 2018, I took my kids on a whirlwind 30-day trip around the world, visiting 8 countries across 4 continents. This adventure opened my eyes to the diverse cultures and luxuries the world has to offer, setting the stage for my future as a travel writer.
Finding Home in Guanacaste
After exploring Costa Rica’s northern Pacific coast, we fell in love with Playas del Coco. With its perfect blend of local charm and expat comfort, 40 nearby beaches, and proximity to volcanoes and rainforests, it became our slice of paradise. This town, nestled in the Guanacaste Papagayo region, is now the backdrop for many of my luxury travel stories.
Sailing into New Adventures
In 2023, I faced my fear of water head-on by sailing across the Atlantic. This 40-day odyssey, complete with unexpected detours and hurricane dodging, not only tested my limits but also provided rich material for my writing about luxury sailing experiences in Costa Rica.
