Ep.153 Costa Rica’s one of those places you picture in your head—wild jungles, crashing waves, colorful creatures. Why did we base ourselves in the capital city of San José and was that a mistake? That question led to two day trips, and one big lesson we didn’t see coming. In this video, we’ll share what surprised us, what we would do differently next time, the unforgettable places we explored—and how much it all cost.
