Hole-La!

Pura vida my maes! Me and my ladeeeeeeeee want the pura vida — sin touristas! (That’s all the Spanish I know but I read it’s ok because everyone in Costa speaks fluent English!).

No TAMAGRINGO! Cringe! Looking for a Tico area with NO TOURISTS so we can be the only tourists there. Also, even though we are pasty white and we don’t speak Spanish, and although we use Google translate to relay all our dietary needs (vegan, celiac, raw food), we are of course worried about be ass-raped with “gringo pricing”!!!!! Is there a way to avoid that?

We have already booked a car at an amazing rate of $7/day!!! Pura dam vida, you bitches who spend $100+!!!This was through Expedia. Highly recommend this, because when I looked at all the recommended places like Adobe and Vamos (people on this sub seem to love those places but whatever because they can be like $100 a day or more!), I’m like DUH!!! why wouldn’t you want to pay $7 versus $100? or more. That tells you right their how stupid the people on this sub our.

We will be traveling to the Guanacaste coast in October. If you want to come to the Pacific side of Costa, def look at airfares in October!!! I got a really good price on a direct flight to San Juan!

Thanks for any tips y’all might have and pura vita!
