Costa Rica is where the journey began. We arrived for what was meant to be a stop and stayed seven years — raising two kids, building a house on the road to Barrigona, and filming the country from the dry northwest of Guanacaste down to the rainforest coast of the South Pacific. This page indexes every region we explored.

[NEEDED: 1–2 more paragraphs in channel voice — what living here was actually like, who the country suits, what changed over seven years.]
