Wildlife Encounters
Manuel Antonio, Tortuguero, the Osa Peninsula — I point you at the parks where you actually see the monkeys, sloths, toucans, and sea turtles, with guides who know where to look. No wandering a trail hoping for the best.
Costa Rica
Rainforests, beaches, and wildlife — handled
Costa Rica is the rare trip that does it all: cloud forest one day, an empty Pacific beach the next, a sloth overhead while you drink the best coffee of your life. I build the version of it that fits your pace — whether that's zip-lines and white water or a hammock and a good book. You get the route, the lodges, and the timing right the first time.
What I Plan Here
Your Costa Rica trip, built around you.
Beach Bliss
Tamarindo for the surf-town energy, the Nicoya Peninsula for the quiet, the Caribbean side for something completely different. I match the coast and the stay to the trip you're picturing, then handle the transfers between them.
Cultural Connections
San José markets, a family-run soda for the best casado you'll eat, a coffee farm where you meet the people who grow it. The local moments that make a trip stick, woven in around the big stuff.
Eco-Adventures
Arenal volcano, hanging bridges, night hikes, and eco-lodges that earn the label. Costa Rica does sustainable travel better than almost anywhere, and I know which lodges are the real deal versus the ones just using the word.
Why Not Just Book Online
Same Price. Very Different Experience.
You're probably wondering whether an advisor actually saves you anything. Fair question. The honest comparison, every moment of the trip: you with a booking site, versus you with me in your corner. The cheap booking is the expensive one when the trip goes sideways.
One thing I'll always be up front about: there may be a planning fee for my time and expertise. The commission is already in the cost of the resort or cruise price, whether you use me or not. The cruise line or resort just keeps my portion if you book directly, and they give you no extra guidance or help. I work for you, not the cruise line or the resort. I will always have your best interests in mind, and everything is customized specifically to you. Have questions, need more information, have concerns? I'm here to help with all of it! Many of the upgrades and money I help you save, more than covers my planning fee too, and you get my expertise and help every step of the way. Booking online, you get the same base price, none of the perks, and no one in your corner when something breaks.

One call. I already know the resort, the ship, the right month, the right room class. I send 1–2 vetted options.
