I absolutely love Central America.  I’ve been to Honduras and Nicaragua, and hope to get to Costa Rica later this year. A friend who knows of my love sent over the article “Costa Rica Anyway You Want It” from the NYTimes and it confirmed my desire to travel there.

The article highlights the diversity of Costa Rica.  From upscale resorts to camping, rain forest to beach, ziplines to yoga, Costa Rica (much like the rest of Central America) has it all.

One of my favorite people in the world frequently travels to Costa Rica.  He’s a sound engineer for several big name bands, and has the dream schedule for a single person who loves to travel.  I loved the NYTimes article, but knew it wasn’t how I would choose to travel in the country.  So I asked him for his best travel tips and this is what he sent over.

His transportation….

His typical dinner…

He always goes to the Pacific coast, because the Caribbean coast is more crowded and touristy.  He pays about $20 for a really nice dinner (including alcohol) and $60-100 for a great hotel.  He loves Nosara because of all the yoga retreats.
