  • Our first time driving in Costa Rica (and our first time in Costa Rica)! We roadtripped from San Jose (capital of Costa Rica) to Liberia on the Nicoya Peninsula. Although the drive was beautiful... Sarah may have gotten road rage.

    /// ABOUT US ///
    Hi! We are Eric and Sarah, a couple of Canadians currently travelling around Central America. We’ve been married since 2017 but have known each other since we were only 6 years old! During our last year of university, we spent 4 months in Honduras on a semester abroad and fell in love with Latin America. Since then, we began planning and saving to do an extensive Latin America tour. 2020 delayed those plans by half a year but during this time stuck in BC, we explored a new hobby (like everyone in the pandemic) of videography and photography. We are now using our new skills to document our adventures around Central and South America. Our desire through these videos is to provide helpful and inspiring content for other travelers while also showing people around the world how beautiful Latin America truly is! Thanks for following along and please leave a comment to say hi!

    Such beautiful highway in CR!!!!
    The roads are awesome and safe…! Also the panorama, the views, are super cool…! All of CR is just so cool, one doesn’t want to leave the country…!!! Enjoy the beauty and relaxed atmosphere of pura vida…!!

    Most of Costa Rica has old roads where you get stuck behind large trucks often but that stretch heading to Liberia is relativity new and modern. Just wait until you drive in the mountains, it’s beautiful and Its nerve wracking but it’s also and unforgettable experience.

    • @EricandSarah

      It’s definitely an adventure driving here! But the roads have honestly been better than we expected (although VERY windy at times!!)

      @@EricandSarah It's a real laid back vibe here, lots of friendly locals and expats, many restaurants and grocery stores. But, I really love the surrounding smaller beaches like Playa Penca, Playa Pez Vela and Playa Ocotal which are quieter and have incredibly clear water. It's also SO hot and dry here right now, I am kind of missing the rainforest/highlands of Costa Rica.😄

    Lol! Loved how happy she was when talking about the gas station bathroom, that was clean and she felt comfortable.
    And btw yes, CR is very expensive for locals and tourist.
    Hope u get to enjoy and see the beauty of this country and feel welcomed by the kindness of the people.
    Pura vida!

    Hi guys! Welcome to Costa Rica! I was living in Ecuador and watched all of your videos, now I live in Costa Rica. You are going to love it here! By the way, sleepy, sun drenched tiny beach towns do exist, but you won't find them where thousands of expats flock. By the end of your trip, I'll like to know what your interpretation of the pura vida lifestyle will be. And one very friendly reminder, remember to take your refillable water bottles with you and help us reduce plastic use. Pura vida you guys!

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh how cool!! So far we’re loving Costa Rica… definitely on the hunt for some sleeping beach towns though 😉 ¡Pura vida!

    I just Subscribed, I cant wait to see your Costa Rica adventures. I'm a bit jealous. Its been 2 years since my last visit. Most of the roads in Costa Rica aren't as nice as the one you took today. You'll come across a few that might freak you out. But adventure awaits! If you want a nice beach town visit Samara. Great night life with toes in the sand. Drive 10 minutes farther to Playa Carrillo and watch the sunset. I've seen many beaches in the world and this is one of the top 10.
    One other must see (stay) is Arenal . So much to do and see. Visit the local Soda's (family restaurants). I cant wait for your next one. As a fellow Canadian, go ahead and Give'r!

    the 50k note bill was discontinued sadly, but it was the most beautiful of them all, it featured a butterfly.

    Such a nice (german^^) car you got there! We got a 4x4, which was nice, but the AC was barely working! Totally agree with the feeling of freedom while traveling more independently! Looking forward to great Costa Rica content! We loved the country!

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was a beauty!! We couldn't believe the upgrade we got when we arrived. And yeah it'll be hard to go back to not having a car for traveling after experiencing such independence!

    If your going to playa del coco you can fly into guanacaste airport rather then renting a car from San Jose

    Where did y’all get your rental from and was it crazy expensive?
    We’re arriving in Costa on Monday for 3 months and would love tips.
    We have a place on reserve, but want to keep an option open. Your ride is a beauty
