Costa Rica is my home country but without been bias it is one of my favorite. I love the never-ending activities, gorgeous beaches, a plethora of wildlife, delicious food, and friendly people. The country may be firmly on the tourist trail and kinda expensive by regional standards but that doesn’t make this country any less amazing. The beaches feel like paradise, there’s great surfing, diving, food and plenty of places to get away from the hoards of Americans that visit/live here. There is always a quiet spot to be found if you look. Moreover, the local food uses a variety of spices and flavors that excite every single taste bud in your mouth. I really can’t say enough good things about this country. It’s a place I happily recommend people to visit often!
