I was born and raised in Venezuela, but in 2007 I felt in love with Madrid after moving to this beautiful city. I lived 12 years in Madrid and I never stopped being amaze by this city. Now I´m temporarily living in Houston but I can´t wait to go back to Madrid. Check some of my recommendations here:

We recently moved to Houston and now that I am in this side of the world, Brazil, Peru and US National Parks are my top priorities, but of course everything depends on prices, and since I found a very good deal to go to Costa Rica, and Francisco loves to surf, we decided to make Costa Rica our first trip from Houston. We went in May (2019), which is low season and it was great because prices were low even […]

From Manuel Antonio Park to Drake Bay We left Manuel Antonio around 8:30am and in 1.5 hour of a lovely one lane road, with very nice views to palms and sometimes the ocean, we were at Sierpe town, exactly at the Oleaje Sereno Restaurant where you take the boat to go to Drake Bay (15$ per person, one way). We left our car in a parking with some of our bags inside per 6$ per day. The place is very […]

From Montezuma to Manuel Antonio Park It took us 1 hour to go from Montezuma to Paquera to take back the ferry to Puntarenas at 9:00am. The area around the ferry is not so pretty, so even though we were hungry, we waited until getting into the ferry to eat something (Ferry cost: 13020 colones for 2 adults and 1 car). The ferry ride took 1.5 hours and then it took us 2.5 hours to go from Puntarenas to our […]

Our initial plan for yesterday or today was to enjoy the canopy (ziplines) or the forrest in Monteverde. But yesterday we decided to stop at the chocolate and coffee tour in La Fortuna and then with the issues on the road we arrived late to Monteverde. And, if we go today to those tours we will be going in the afternoon to Montezuma, probably with lots of rain. So, since we weren’t sure about going to the ziplines anyway, we […]

According to the weather app today was going to rain all day long, and we actually ended up having this spectacular day. This is important in Costa Rica: do not trust the weather app, trust the locals. Arenal Volcano Our tour guide picked us up at 9:00 (Volcano and thermal baths tour, 60$ per person). We booked this tour in our hotel the night before. After picking more people for our tour, we stopped at a mini market to buy […]

Yesterday, we planned with Gerardo the channels tour at 5:30am, but there was a tropical rain that looked like the world was ending and didn’t look like it was going to get better. I started to get scared thinking that our vacation would be like that, but at 6:00am rain stopped and we were able to go to our tour (30$ per person + 15$ park entrance, everything can be paid with card, $ or colones). We were the only […]

The flight from Houston with United is only 3.5 hours and San Jose airport was very chill. Luckily my cousin picked us up at the airport and we had dinner at his house, but apparently is very safe to take an Uber. My cousin also took us later to our little hotel, which was nice and clean. The only thing is that it didn´t has AC or hot water, but it wasn´t that bad, at least it was closed to […]

Being Francisco (my boyfriend) from Portugal, it was fair that I spent a few days in Portugal to know his country.

Here is the map I created for you to follow our road trip: Day 1: From Oporto to Carrapateira Day 2: Carrapateira – Sagress […]
