This will most likely be the death of me but I can't not say hi to the kitty! 🐈🐈‍⬛ I think I have as many kitty photos in my camera roll as scenic vistas or food 🤣

Case in point, meet Nina! 😺

She was our new kitty friend during our stay in Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica! 👋🏼 I'm sure she sensed a group of vegans would be her kind of people. She might have been as popular as the monkeys 🤣🐒

What was your favorite thing you did or saw? 🤔

It’s a question I’m consistently asked after every trip. While the world is undoubtedly filled with breathtaking sights—I mean, who wouldn’t love to see a mom sloth with her baby during breakfast — the truth may come as a surprise.

My favorite part of every journey isn’t what I saw or did; it’s the people I had the chance to meet.

I’ve thought a lot about this recently, and over the past couple of years I’ve had some wild and uncomfortable experiences. No matter the challenges, it’s the connections I’ve made that have stayed with me. From sharing tea and learning about someone’s family in the heart of a medina to never-ending bus rides with strangers who quickly became friends, these encounters have been some of my favorites.

There’s a saying that if people saw the beauty of the world, they’d feel more compelled to protect it. I’d take that idea a step further: if people could see the beauty of the world and meet the people who call these places home, they’d feel an even stronger responsibility to safeguard it. Because suddenly, it’s no longer about a far-flung destination—it’s about someone you met, someone whose story touched you, someone you might even call a friend.

⁉️Is Costa Rica vegan-friendly?🇨🇷

To be honest, I think it's far more vegetarian-friendly than vegan-friendly but not impossible! If you're visiting larger cities/towns, especially those frequented by travelers, you'll find vegan, vegetarian, and vegan-friendly places.

📍Here are a few to pin on your Google Map:

💚San Jose

(vegan-friendly)
cr

💚Manuel Antonio/Quepos

(vg-friendly)

💚La Fortuna
(vg-friendly)


💚Monteverde
(vg-friendly, a mix of different places)

No matter where you're traveling in the country, it's important to understand a bit of the language, especially to differentiate between vegan and vegetarian. It's not uncommon for people to confuse the two.

✨Like this:

No como carne, pescado, leche, productos lácteos, huevos, queso, miel, o productos de origen animal.

You can easily practice the words/phrases with help from apps like YouTube or Duolingo!

ALSO! There are vegan & vegan friendly hotels & lodges ➡️ check out the full list on our website (link in bio). Just search for Costa Rica 😎😉
