New Vlog: Slow Living on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica 🌿

Puerto Viejo, Part One — A Slow Travel Journal

Hi friends,

I just shared a new video on YouTube — the first part of a two-week journey through Puerto Viejo, a soulful little town on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica that always seems to bring me back to myself.

This isn’t just a travel vlog — it’s a glimpse into a slower way of living.
Waking up to the sounds of the jungle. Moving at the rhythm of the sea. Savoring local flavors rooted in Afro-Caribbean and Tico culture. Letting the days unfold without urgency.

It’s our second time returning here. The first time was a longer trip that changed me — this time, I came back to celebrate another birthday and to reconnect with the simple joy of just being.

If you’ve ever dreamed of visiting Puerto Viejo, or if you're simply craving a few moments of warmth, color, and calm — I’d love to take you with me.

And if you’re planning a trip or curious about how to slow travel this part of Costa Rica, I’ve put together a full guide with favorite places, food spots, rituals, and reflections — available here for subscribers.

Thank you, always, for coming along with me.

With gratitude,
Olivia 🌺
