Our Apartment in La Fortuna Costa Rica

Living and working in Costa Rica is not EASY if making money is a MUST. I can't tell you how many people we've seen come and go because dreams were CRUSHED or promises of paradise were not as advertised.

So, if you're coming down to Costa Rica in hopes of turning around your life and making money in order to support yourself, DON'T come, your chances of success are just about nil and you'll be wasting your time or at the least, spinning your wheels, barely scrapping by with NO future. That said, you can live fairly cheap here if you want to but you would have to be dedicated to the cause and hopefully have a light at the end of YOUR tunnel... I know if we didn't, we wouldn't be here right now.

Anyway, we've been very reluctant up until now to let you into our Costa Rica world, mostly because we're a little embarrassed,,, obviously we're over that now. This is our life. Hope it helps you deciding yours.

Jenna Marbles Landshark Video Uses OUR Sloth Pic

Jenna Marbles of YouTube Fame Uses THIS PIC for her Landshark Video.
Jenna Marble's YouTube Channel gets literally millions of HITS and I'm quite sure she makes a tidy sum in advertisement dollars... but you'd think she'd be a little bit more on her game when using pics off the Internet for her videos. Should we SUE... or be flattered? Suing is NOT our style so she's SAFE,,,for now anyway. hehe.

The pic is GREAT and I can see why she, or whoever edits her videos used it. Don't particularly care for her videos but I can see why other, younger people might- Kelly Rippa meets Chelsea Handler in a very 'Saturday Night Live-ish' kind of way. Hey, she's obviously doing something right.

I just wish she'd show some appreciation, maybe tell her subscribers, "Hey, my good friends at Travel Costa Rica Now could use your support- please subscribe to their YouTube Channel." Yeah, like that's going to happen. *So, whoever drew this needs to learn how to spell.

Anyway, just thought it was interesting, especially how we saw it- One of D'Angelo's friends on Facebook posted the video,,,he watched it and was about to click it off because he thought it was a little stupid',,,when all of a sudden, he said, "Oh no she didn't". Yeah I know, a little gay.

Anyway, here's the VIDEO, called Landshark, it's become very popular, very FAST. *the pic in question comes at 1:44. You might notice a 'blurry' girl in her pic w/ the sloth which doesn't exist on our pic above- it's called photoshop.

Rio Celeste is NOT Always BLUE

Rio Celeste, Tenorio National Park, in Costa Rica is NOT always the BLUE color it is known for.
To be clear, the Rio Celeste (Tenorio National Park) area is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L, but never more so than when the BLUE of the river and waterfall are poppin' and the sun is out acting as a natural contrast button on PhotoShop, intensifying the beauty 10 fold. It's stunning.

But the beauty of Rio Celeste is not what I'm talking about today. I'd like to tell you about the 'downside' that most travel books, travel agents and pushers of 'tours', don't like to tell you. Rio Marron could often be an appropriate name for Rio Celeste. *if you haven't figured it out, 'celeste' in Spanish means, 'sky blue' or 'light blue', 'marron' is brown.

In a nutshell- Depending on the amount of rain in the area, Rio Celeste is NOT always blue. Also, Rio Celeste is NOT a walk in the park, you should be somewhat in shape. Still intent on hiking Rio Celeste, when it rains a lot, it can be a nightmare to get around due to the mud- this is Costa Rica after all, trails are not normally as user friendly as you might be used to. We recommend a 4x4 to get there if you're going yourself, especially during periods of heavy rain.

Anyway, here's a video we did about the 'downside' of Rio Celeste.


And now here's some of the BEAUTY of Rio Celeste. ENjoY!


I have more INFO on Rio Celeste in this blog, such as how to get there, which should be easy to find.
