Pura Vida Vibes: My 4-Part Costa Rica Travel Vlog Series

My 4-Part YouTube Series: Exploring the Soul of Costa Rica

If Costa Rica has been sitting on your travel bucket list, this is your sign to move it to the top. I dropped a 4-part YouTube series diving into the vibrant beauty, rich culture, and unforgettable experiences I had during my trip—and trust me, you're going to want to tune in.

Whether you're a nature lover, wellness traveler, or simply in search of your next escape, this series has something for everyone. From soaking in the thermal waters of Tabacón to staying in a transparent igloo surrounded by rainforest, every stop on my Costa Rican adventure delivered its own kind of magic. And yes, I made sure to balance the excursions with a few moments of luxe relaxation.

Here’s what you can expect from each episode:

• Part 1: Tabacon Hot Springs, Arenal
  This episode is all about healing energy and natural beauty. I soaked in the iconic Tabacón hot springs, surrounded by lush jungle and flowing thermal waterfalls. It's the kind of peaceful, grounding vibe that’s perfect for resetting your energy. Millennial travelers looking for luxury-meets-nature will fall in love with Arenal.

• Part 2: Igloo Resort, Mangrove Tour with Monkeys, Food & More
  This vlog is full of playful adventure. I stayed in a cozy igloo dome, floated down a mangrove river with monkeys swinging above, and tried some of the best food of the trip. It’s giving jungle glam, local flavor, and bucket list vibes.

• Part 3: Horseback Riding, Airplane Suite Stay
  If you're into travel that surprises you, this one’s for you. I rode horses through the Costa Rican countryside and checked into a suite built inside a real airplane. Talk about one-of-a-kind stays. It was the perfect mix of rustic and bold for any traveler who likes to keep things interesting.

• Part 4: Staying at Oxygen Jungle Villas + Exploring the Waterfalls
  We closed out the trip in full wellness mode. This episode features stunning jungle views, peaceful waterfall hikes, and a dreamy stay at Oxygen Jungle Villas. Picture glass villas tucked into the hillside, open-air showers, and spa-like serenity. If you want your trip to be as relaxing as it is adventurous, this one’s a must-watch.
