Costa Rica Backpackers has been around for over 15 years and is located in the capital city of San Jose and it's a popular stopover for those just entering the country as well as [...]
This town has been one of my favorite stops in Costa Rica and although I only intended on staying for 1 night as a stopover, I just couldn't leave! I ended up staying almost a week and enjoyed every minute of it! Dominical is a beautiful little surf town on the pacific side just north of [...]
When Patrick and I left Corcovado and started making our way north we happened upon a cool little beach town called Dominical. We spent the first night at Piramys Hostel which was like a giant pirate ship (read the review here), and we fell in love with that little town. We were headed down to [...]
I'm still not sure what to think of this Hostel... We booked online at Hostel World because the reviews said that although it was a dump, the vibe was amazing. They weren't wrong on either account... First, the dump. The place was filty, food all over the kitchen, bugs, laundry hanging everywhere, the staff was [...]
There are few places on earth like Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica. In fact, the "last frontier" of the Osa Penisula is literally the most biodiverse place in the world! The Peninsula is estimated to house 2.5% of the biodiversity of the entire world – while covering less than a thousandth of a percent of [...]
My first stop in Costa Rica was Capital Hostel De Ciudad in San Jose and it was a perfect choice! The Hostel is in a great location of San Jose and you can walk the streets around it and find great restaurants, shopping and anything you need. The Hostel itself is a gem! Clean, neat, [...]

Here’s the thing people… there are certain things that we tend to say as human beings that are really hurting us. Now, I’m not talking about cursing, swearing, being crude or nasty to other people or any of that. I’m talking about statements that we make that allow us to continue a life of stagnation. Now [...]

We had been living in South Africa for 3 months and looking for a country to go to next when we read about the Thailand Sandbox Program, a way for vaccinated travelers to enter certain regions of the country without a quarantine period. It was quite an exhausting program and so we thought we would detail [...]
