Which is your favourite place? 💚
awesome video! I'm coincidentally planning to go Costa Rica in a few months so this was extra helpful, especially the vegan options. Unfortunately I can't drive, do you guys know if it would it be easy to get around otherwise? (perhaps even by cycling?)
I like so much your filming script and narration, and that Climate Crisis, is round the world, and the solutions will be found global, nothing to do with any left or right nationalism.
I would have loved to see more costarican projects, the video only interviews foreigners as if they were the sole action force in the country. ( this is something a lot of videos tend to do) With this I don’t intend to say your video is bad or wrong, in fact it was extraordinary. But enviromentally sustainable policy and practices in the country have been the result of local communities fighting and developing new ways to live and earn a living. Without them CR would not be the safe haven for “expats” (who in fact are no different than migrants) who wish to develop this amazing communities and projects. Sustainable development is not possible without respect and consideration of the local believes and way of life. I still loved your video 🙂
Very informative and thoughtful! Many thanks, just got back from Tamarindo. I miss my Tico desayuno!
Wonderful, thank you for sharing our mission!

Amazing video guys ❤🇨🇷
This was a great video. It was very informative. We will be going in December and we are looking for out of the way Eco adventures , yoga and vegan/ natural food options. This video was just what we needed.
