What You Need to Know About Costa Rica That Nobody Tells you
It’s my first day in Costa Rica. I haven’t seen much of San Jose other than the thirty-minute drive to my hotel but I immediately felt delighted by the people in the tourism industry. When I saw the lines of people holding up ‘taxi’ signs and name cards, I felt a dread. I was afraid that my daughter and I were going to be innundated by taxi drivers trying to get our business, but this didn’t happen. Unlike other touristy destinations (e.g. Europe, Caribbean, the US), these men kept a respectful distance. They asked if we wanted a taxi but accepted without a word when declined. When a man asked us more than once, other drivers stepped in and explained that we didn’t need his service.

Vanlife: My Dream Van that Doesn't Exist (yet)
If it were possible, my dream Vanlife Van would be livable of course with a bed, mini-kitchen, toilet, solar shower, mini-fridge, WiFi and at least some storage space. It would also be electric with a solar panel array that helped charge the battery and gave it some extra range. If possible, a level four self-driving system would be great, though a level three system would be pretty cool as well. And finally. airless punctureless tires would top it off. I know, a big dream, but much of the tech I mentioned is here now. It just hasn’t been implemented all in one vehicle yet.
