Vicki's Site/Blog of
Lists•Info•Finds on Costa Rica
Those that know me know I LOVE gathering and sharin' information and making
Lists of info for those living in or traveling around Costa Rica!! I've
been compiling them for ease in finding them!!
It’s a VERY HELPFUL site on where to find things (often with English-speaking contacts), what’s happening, SPECIALS, news, thoughts, experiences+++!!
The focus is on actual DETAILS – to bring more EASE into YOUR Life!!
This blog gets
OVER 30,000+ Page Views a Month and is
OFTEN at the 1st or 2nd page of MANY Google Searches!
Have anything to SUBMIT? Events, finds, YOUR experiences/stories, news, etc. to add?
I'm now accepting Information Ads
E- me for more details or to share information!!
SOME OF THE ENTRIES:
This is by NO means "THE guide" - I've just started making DETAILED lists based on information
people have asked me about and/or I've found/collected (I'm a "Details
Kinda Gal!!" Just telling me you like something is of little use often
in Costa Rica since finding out details can be QUITE challenging and
sadly not enough people share or share details we can use).

I've been to SJDS (for my visa runs) for over 4 years now and this is my new FAV AREA!! In January '13 I went for a 1-2 night Visa Run and stayed for 6 WEEKS!! LOVED IT and I'm SERIOUSLY considering living in SJDS part-time - in between my House and Pet Sitting gigs as I've been MEGA missing the water energy that this sweet little (just 6 blocks by 7 blocks!!) Seaside Village is!!!
