The real Costa Rica. Planned by someone who lives there.
I'm Kevin — French-Polish, living in Puriscal since 2021. I build independent itineraries for European travelers who want beyond the tourist trail.
“You bring the curiosity.
I bring the knowledge.
Costa Rica does the rest.”

Why most Costa Rica trips disappoint
Google sends everyone to the same five places.
The real Costa Rica is somewhere else entirely.
Wrong places
Jacó and Tamarindo are overrun. The lodges where owners greet you by name, the cloud forests with no crowds — those don't rank on page one.
Wrong timing
Costa Rica's two coasts have opposite weather. Most travelers only find this out when they arrive. The Quetzal in Monteverde peaks in February, not April.
Wrong logistics
The bus to Corcovado doesn't exist. The rental car requirement in the south isn't mentioned. Plans unravel on day two.
I solve all three. Because I live here.
The person behind the plan
I'm not a travel agent.
I live where you want to go.
I moved to the Puriscal region of Costa Rica in 2021. Not to a tourist town — to a remote, authentically Costa Rican community where the pura vida isn't a slogan, it's just Tuesday.
I came for the nature. I stayed for the people and the culture.
Over 5 years I've built 100+ custom itineraries for European travelers — couples on honeymoon, families with young kids, solo adventurers, groups of 10. Every one of them left having seen a Costa Rica that most tourists miss entirely.

Built around what excites you
Your Costa Rica, not everyone else's

What makes this different
Built on 5 years of living here.
Not researching here.
I live in Puriscal
Remote. Authentic. Non-tourist. I walk out my door into the Costa Rica you came to find.
Local partnerships, not algorithms
Family hotels, local guides, car rentals I trust personally. Real promo codes from real conversations with real owners.
No hotel prepayment — ever
Pay on arrival, directly to the owners. Your money stays yours until you check in.
Your language
English, French, Polish, Spanish. Whichever feels most natural — that's how we work.
From travelers who've been there
What they say after the trip
“Kevin built us an itinerary that took us to places we never would have found. The no-prepayment system meant we could breathe easy when our flight changed last minute. Best trip of our lives.”

“Everything went exactly as planned — and I had two completely unplanned amazing days because I had enough buffer to say yes to them. This is how Costa Rica should be experienced.”

“I tried to plan it myself for three weeks and was completely lost. One call with Kevin and I had a direction in 20 minutes. Worth every cent.”
