    Every time during the Miss Universe pageant, Miss Costa Rica always performs very well and makes me have a little impression of Costa Rica!
    But to be honest, I have never been there and I really don’t know much about it!
    I am very happy that through your videos, I have a better understanding of this beautiful country!
    I think their nature should be one of the most beautiful in the world!
    Waterfalls, tropical rainforests, harbors, beaches, everything is attractive!
    The sunset there is so beautiful, and it feels particularly romantic and warm!
    The most beautiful airbnb on the mountain offers priceless views, and those rooms are so comfortable and beautiful!
    Your introduction is very detailed, I like it, you made me fall in love with that airbnb!
    The sloth is really cute, its appearance is a surprise, and it also represents the great natural environment there!
    The Caribbean Chicken makes my mouth water! And for me, that breakfast shop is paradise, haha!
    Playa Manzanillo should be everyone’s dream paradise. I thimk that spending a day on a kayak on the river is really enjoyable!
    Thanks a lot for sharing, really super great job! 👍😍👏

    Happy belated birthday, Naick! The monkey peeing on your kayak is pretty epic and the 2-tiered waterfall is beautiful, but my favorite part of the video is seeing the French family traveling together. As the mom of 2 adult children, I love traveling with them and their partners, and I can imagine doing this.
