I'm Chifrijo Jones. More than ten years ago I went to Costa Rica for the first time for a Spanish-language immersion. I loved it so much that I just kept going back.

My Costa Rican friends and I like to explore the country, from beaches to volcanoes; and cities to backroads. We go to soccer games and city festivals. And, we write about what we see and do. We take pictures and make videos, too.

I hope that what you find here will help you with travel, tourism, relocation, and retirement to Costa Rica.

Pura vida.
