- A spectacular journey exploring the best Costa Rica has to offer. We go high and low, searching for hidden gems along rugged terrain and stay self sufficient as best as we can. 3 weeks spent camping in the roof top tent of our Toyota PJ Cruiser overland rig. Let’s show you how beautiful this country is and I guarantee you that you might be tempted to visit yourself😊
Thanks to Nomad America for a sick vehicle which made it such a blast to travel through Costa Rica!

Wow! Amazing travel, but even more amazing video. Everything seems so well produced - colours, cuts, music, sound effects, text & titles. This video must have taken some time to edit. Me and my girl view all your videos when they come out and this one was just jaw dropping, even though we are more in to your Scandinavian trips 😊 We are currently building our own T5 camper and will soon visit Norway 👍
Thank you so much! You’re right, this one took me ages to produce, so I’m glad you approve the way it turned out:) looking forward to more traveling in our own van the coming months.
Nice! The best months are coming up now😊🇳🇴
I was so impressed by this video. The whole way through enjoying all the effort put into it!! @bestofblocket said everything I wanted to say 😂
Thank you guys for sharing your journey with us ❤️
Hope you like this long format video as many of you have requested! How tempting does it look to travel through Costa Rica?😃
After watching so many overlanders I can’t believe I just found your channel. Great content
Thank you, I really appreciate it! 😊
Buenas desde Limón, Costa Rica. Hey guy, I have seen many vlogs from other visitors and I could say that Spanish ones are the best, but believe me, your one is excelente, and the African music that you put in some cataratas is awe. Thanks a lot for share.
Pura Vida.
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊
Stunning filmmaking again, and you are fearless standing on the edge like that
Thank you😊
Wow! What an amazing video! My husband and I really enjoyed it! I want to say thank you for enjoying our country as you did, definitely we are blessed! And thank you for all your nice comments about this tiny but special country called Costa Rica! Hope to have both of you here again soon! 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷👋👏🏻🥰Takk skal du ha
Hi Simon, the quality of your video is really extraordinary! We always look forward to a new video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Robert🙏🏼 I really appreciate it
I am doing this with the wife and kids in May. Can’t wait!
Absolutely beautiful, this should be on everyone’s bucket list. I grew up in Guatemala but never visited CR and this video is a good window to what I missed. Kudos to you guys with your adventurous spirits. Simply awesome!!
Thanks Carlos😊 I really appreciate the kind words. CR impressed us in so many ways, hopefully people see how pretty it can be👏🏼
Love the aerial shots giving us a sample of the landscape. It looks so beautiful!
Thanks! Costa Rica treated us so well😍
For whatever reason YT has not given me your updates in several months. Imagine my delight in seeing this pop up in my recommended this morning ( not to mention several videos to catch up on). This was an AMAZING adventure you both . As always, thank you for sharing Simon. Greetings form the PNW USA !
Thank you so much! Put a lot of work into this one, haha. Glad you liked it!
Love the result, great format as a long video, this way you really cover everything we want to see. Next time you're in Costa Rica let me know! Your video quality, editing and storytelling skills are amazing.
Thanks Oscar, I appreciate the feedback🤗
Gracias por visitarnos se dieron un gran paseo de aventura y vivieron la pura vida
Awesome video! We went to Costa Rica for our honeymoon. My profile pic is actually in front of Catarata del Toro. We also did the hot springs, cloud forest, pacific coast and the whole business. We still talk about that trip often. It’s such a beautiful, diverse ecosystem there. The food is incredible as well as I’m sure you can attest to!
Thank you! Indeed, such a unique country with a lot to offer, we were especially impressed by how they conserve their nature and ecosystem. We had a blast😄
More fabulous scenery this time away from Norway. I’m glad the rain didn’t dampen your enthusiasm too much. Very enjoyable to watch.
Great little video. Love the rain 🌧 on the top tent ⛺️
Thanks! Yeah, it got quite wet at times😅
Sehr schönes Video...coole Flussdurchfahrten...Costa Rica ist wunderschön.
Danke!😀
We missed you guys. Ya'll are the gold standard of travel videos.
Wow thank you🙏🏼 It’s been a while, glad to finally have a new video to share😊
Costa Rica is so beautiful and amazing, your video is awesome. Thanks for visiting us.
Q chiva vIdeo saludos desde Costa Rica !
Oh fantastic, I was wondering what you were up to! Saved for this evening’s viewing!
It’s been a while! Getting back to making videos now as our book project is finished😊
Terrific, we’ll look forward to more of your adventures then!
Always stoked to see a new video from you! So many amazing shots and I’m definitely going to follow your guide when I visit Costa Rica! 🏝😁
Thanks Ryan! I appreciate it👏🏼👏🏼 It took me forever to finish this one, haha. Costa Rica can easily be recommended as a superb destination👌🏼

What a surprising change. Your trips experience are truly inspiring. To keep up with a previous comment of mine about how you inspired me going to Norway, I did it ;) 2 magical weeks in the south and middle of Norway. I will return !!!
Wow, thanks for the very kind words! And I am delighted that you made it to Norway, 2 weeks is far too little ;)
@@SimonBraeck I agree, far too little time. I liked when Benedikt said, it takes hours to drive Costa Rica's road... I thought to myself, I just experienced the same in your country :D :D :D
Thank you for visiting our country 🇨🇷and thank you for the beautiful video I enjoyed it a lot

Thank you very much🙏🏼😊
Ah man can't wait to watch this in a bit 🤘🙏
Thanks Kenny! Hope you like the long format:)
Ah mate, the quality and story telling of this video is really good! I said on yer IG ages ago I was looking forward to the Costa Rica trip. Worth the wait. Didn't disappoint 👌
I really appreciate it!😊 Took some time to get ready, hence the low upload rate lately.
Always quality not quantity. Never feel the pressure to post, just let if flow✊ appreciate your work and time editing this stuff up...and of course sharing ✌️
excelente video de mi país, que bueno que disfrutaron mucho de este pequeño terruño y que lo hayan compartido. Muchas gracias
Thank you both for an absolutely outstanding production of your fantastic trip to Costa Rica. An amazing contrast of sights and colours and a whole world apart from your home and country. Truly epic ! and it looks like you had a wonderful time.
The pleasure is ours! Thanks for the kind words. We enjoyed every second of it, even the heavy rainfall😀
Absolutely awesome. Guess we also HAVE TO go there!
Thank you! It’s such a good destination😊
An amazing video. I hope you enjoy your time in Costa Rica I am part of the Nomad America team this fills us with joy Pura Vida 👨🏻🔧
Thanks Javier! We could not have done this without the amazing vehicle we had. Wish you all the best🇨🇷
Crazy man ! i've been there already but after watched your video i feel i need to go there again ! +1 subscriber !
Thanks Matthieu! Lovely place! :)
Definitely a big improvement with video editing. Intro alone got my attention! Nice work! Keep the vids coming please and safe travels!
Thank you very much☺️
Great video, guys! We just returned from our own trip to CR - how did you like the roads from La Fortuna to the coast? 😀You know that you have to come to Canada now (AB & BC) if you want to see perhaps the only areas more beautiful than CR or Norge. Simon, your editing is really top-notch & you both do a wonderful job of capturing the beauty of the place without too much needless narration. Often times the pictures do the work...
Absolutely brilliant video by the both of you, i create videos for my channel but i cant imagine the amount of editing that must of taken with shot selection color grading, speed ramps................amazing job guys. Hope to see Truck norris in another video soon aswell.
Thank you very much😊 Fingers crossed Norris is back on the road again soon👨🏼🔧
aqui, su like
Thanks a lot - great source of info before our trip to CR! :) Which month where you there at ?
Thanks! October into November☺️
Simon your movies are getting better. congratulates. what's this music 2:55 by the way?
Cheers mate. The song is called "We all feel lost - Secret Nation"
Achieved some stunning shots. Great watch! Our trip starts in a couple weeks and was wondering how you charge your cameras/drone while on the road? Cheers
Thanks! You’ll have a great time I’m sure. We use a 12V car charger and top off things on the occasional hotel accommodations and café visits
lol took the wrong turn and should’ve waited til chacarita
What a great trip and video! I might have missed this -- what month were you in CR?
Thank you☺️ We were there during October and a few days into November
Hey Simon, can you fill us in on the video editing software you use? Your insertion of text and other special effects are fantastic! Thanks!
Wonderful Video - well done! We were 2 times in Costa Rica with a roof top tent and we are planning to go again. May I ask you were the camping spot is at 09:20, is it on iOverlander? Thanks for a feedback.
