Let’s face it — in today’s world, if you travel anywhere, you always start by checking information online, and then you want to share your experiences. It’s no different in the land of Pura Vida. Every other person you meet online seems to have a blog about their trip to Costa Rica, an Instagram full of jungle selfies, and a list of the 10 best “hidden” waterfalls that are actually right next to the parking lot.
And honestly? We’re no different.
We started our Costa Rica travel blog for the same reason a lot of people do: to reach more people, to share cool stuff, and — let’s be real — because Google kinda makes you do it if you want to run a travel business. But here’s where we’re not like the others: we don’t write fluff. We write like we talk — with humor, with honesty, and with just enough sarcasm to keep it interesting.
So Who’s Actually Writing This Costa Rica Trip Blog?
Good question. About nine years ago, I packed my bags and moved to Costa Rica. Like many people who fall in love with this place, I figured it’d be easy — pura vida, right? Well, sort of.
I started as a professional scuba diving instructor, then a dive center manager, then a full-blown travel business owner. Along the way I’ve been a guide, a translator, a fixer of broken 4x4s, and the guy who knows someone who knows someone with a boat. You learn a lot that way.
And honestly? Back when I arrived, I really wish I’d had a Costa Rica travel blog like this one. Not some generic “10 Things To Do” article written by someone who came here for a weekend and drank three coconuts. But something from someone who lives here, works here, and knows which roads flood in rainy season and which restaurants serve actual local food (and not $18 gringo nachos).
Why We Write This Blog — And What It’s Actually For
This Costa Rica trip blog isn’t about racking up word counts or pretending we’ve discovered secret beaches nobody else knows about (spoiler: the locals have known about them forever). It’s about helping you:
- Avoid overpriced tourist traps
- Understand how things really work here
- Know what to expect, what to pack, and what not to panic about
- Find tours and guides that don’t treat you like a walking wallet
- Laugh at the weird stuff (because it’s gonna happen)
We use this Costa Rica travel blog to pass along the things we’ve learned — often the hard way — so that your trip can be smoother, easier, and way more fun.
The Business Side (But Without the Sales Pitch)
Our main thing is tourism. It’s what we know best. This Costa Rica trip blog is part of what we do at GoExploreWith.me — we help people plan their trips, book the right tours (not the ones with the megaphone guides and matching hats), and find good vacation rentals that won’t eat half your budget.
And because we live here, we know what’s good, what’s overhyped, and what might actually be closed even though TripAdvisor says it’s “very open.”
Whether you’re planning an eco trip, a family adventure, a diving holiday, or just want someone to tell you why the rental car company added $300 in insurance fees — this Costa Rica travel blog is your new best friend.

So stick around. Bookmark us. And hey — if you really want the good stuff, sign up for our mailing list. We don’t spam, we don’t send boring deals, and we definitely don’t send coconut recipes (unless you really want them).
Just honest advice, weird stories, and the kind of local tips you can’t Google your way into.
