Costa Rica Real Estate Tour
Then the best place to start is to get your "you-know-what" down there to see and experience the place for yourself. You can do this on your own, or you can enlist the help of an expert....like me! I am that "Costa Rica Guy" and I have been designing and managing Costa Rica vacations through my company Package Costa Rica for many years.

My Squidoo Page - Costa Rica 365
I never really thought about making a lens about me...until now. Why not? I am a worthy topic. Here's a short intro. I live in Costa Rica. I wasn't born here (that would be North Carolina), but it has been my home since around the turn of the decade. I am a blogger and I blog about my life here in this very unique place. I blog about politics, which can sometimes be a dangerous subject...but ah, what the hell.

The Corn Islands of Nicaragua
I was once visiting the southern pacific beach town of San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua. As I ate breakfast at the hotel I struck up a conversation with a fellow gringo who began to tell me about these "mysterious" corn islands. It sounded so adventurous, and tinged with a certain degree of danger (which I later found out was pure exaggeration), that I just had to experience them for myself.

Costa Rica's National Parks
Costa Rica is a tiny country that encompasses less than 0.1% of the entire landmass of the planet. Yet this country the size of West Virgina possesses some 5% of the earth's biological diversity. Almost 26% of Costa Rica's entire national territory is protected in some form. This means that Costa Rica has a larger percentage of its total area set aside in parks and preserves than any other country on Earth.

Closer to Heaven on Cerro Chirripo
Trekking Costa Rica's Tallest Mountain is a Spiritual Journey... I have had many "spiritual" experiences throughout my adventures in Costa Rica, but maybe none more profound than when I made the ascent to the summit of Cerro Chirripo. Chirripo is Costa Rica's highest peak. I made the climb with my daughter, Michelle, which made it all the more rewarding.

Surf is Always Up in Costa Rica... Costa Rica is a surfer's dream. Miles and miles of coastline with hundreds of breaks offering waves of every size and shape. I grew up surfing and when I moved to Costa Rica I envisioned weekends filled with riding endless waves. However, age and work tend to get in the way these days.
