Yesim is in Costa Rica Nov 11, 2009 - April 7, 2010

Pura Vida!

So here you are checking out the deets....So I will be in Costa Rica again for another southern adventure mid Nov 11 2009-April 7 2010! With lots of love and gratitude for life. This time honored to be working in trade with www.costaricayogaspa.com

I won't have a guest house this time but can hook

you up somewhere for sure.

First! Check out the area of Nosara at my links. I am near Playa Ostional. So before you buy a ticket, reach me at 506- 2-682-0012 to see if I can accommodate the date you wish to visit. There is an answering machine and the lovely Ashley. Of course you can always come and stay wherever you wish, see links, click on Nosara and snoop around. Delta and Air Canada fly the most direct flights to Liberia, Costa Rica, 2 hrs from Nosara, from Ontario or Quebec, Canada. There are some other charters as well if you come during high season, do a search. I know Continental and American also fly to Liberia. Whatever you do avoid San Jose Airport its far and tiresome. Not the greatest city to arrive in. Liberia is quiet and nice. http://www.skyauction.com/ could be an option or check with friends who work for airlines for a buddy pass.

If you are high rolling checkout http://www.natureair.com/ for flights from Liberia airport to Nosara air strip. If you want service try http://www.nosaratravel.com/ for all the arrangements.

The cheapest comfortable way to Nosara from there is to rent a car, try National Car Rental then you can deposit it in Nosara. They will give you directions. Should be around $80 U.S. Otherwise a taxi could cost $120 per person. You can prearrange a taxi on the Nosara Web link if you like, would be a guarantee. Its a beautiful drive, pave road turns to bumpy dirt road for the last half hour or so up the coast so have confidence, you are not lost! If you get stopped by the police, you may have to pay a fine or talk your way out of it somehow, just say you have no paper money, Spanish helps........learn basic Spanish and be nice and careful. All your stuff should be in the trunk out of view. Its not dangerous, just be smart. OR the cheapest way to get here from Liberia would be to take a cab to Nicoya and take a local bus from Nicoya to Nosara . Renting bikes when you get here is fun.

Bring Visa or Cash only or a check card that is Visa and Debit in one. The bank machine only accepts Visa for withdrawals NOT MOST DEBIT CARDS, Scotia bank and Royal Bank seem to work for some people, make sure you have a PIN for your visa. Please check the Nosara Web Page for other concerns, its all there more or less or call me. Get health insurance, see World Nomads link. Its cheap. You never know!

Make photo copies of all ID and cards etc. and leave a copy at home with a friend. Theft is a very common reality as I have mentioned so be smart. Do not be a flashy tourist! Don't advertise your northamericanism. There are people living with way less that are annoyed that we show up with our abundance! And they will take it away from you. Whoever they are. Never leave your car with stuff in it anywhere, you may be watched, leave someone behind or leave it in the guest house well hidden from housekeeping or in the safe. They will even take your flip flops from the beach so bury them in the sand! Its a bummer, so just be smart!

What else can I tell you.....a lot..... so lets save it for when you visit! It will be so much fun! Save your questions for the call but read this well first, the answers are here or on my links.

If you can the following is a list of things that could be brought down for me. Check with me first. Thanks.
