Embracing Jungle Life: Our Move to Costa Rica
After 15 years of visiting Costa Rica, my husband and I took the leap and made this stunning country our home 3 ½ years ago. We always dreamed of opening an eco lodge, and now, with our daughter Kaiya by our side, we’ve turned that dream into a reality. We took over Pacific Edge Eco Lodge, a beautiful property that has been a cherished eco lodge for over 35 years, and it has become our sanctuary where we can share the beauty of jungle life with visitors from around the world.
Living in the jungle isn’t for everyone, but we’ve fallen in love with its vibrant energy and natural wonders. Costa Rica holds a unique magic that resonates deeply with me—it's the first place I've ever felt truly at home. As a free spirit, I find comfort in the lush surroundings, where nature thrives and adventure awaits around every corner. The sights and sounds, from howler monkeys to breathtaking sunsets, offer a daily reminder of life’s simplicity and beauty, and we’re excited to share that with our guests.
As an immigrant in a foreign country, I’ve encountered both the joys and challenges of this journey. One of the biggest pros has been the warmth of the local community. The Costa Rican “pura vida” lifestyle emphasizes a laid-back, positive outlook, which is refreshing and invigorating. We’ve made wonderful connections with our neighbors and fellow entrepreneurs, and the sense of camaraderie is truly uplifting.
However, adjusting to a new culture can also bring its share of challenges. Navigating language barriers, understanding local customs, and adapting to different systems have all required patience and resilience. It's essential to approach these challenges with an open heart and mind, as they often lead to personal growth and deeper connections with the culture.
Being an immigrant means embracing the unknown and stepping outside of your comfort zone. It’s about immersing ourselves in the local way of life while respecting our roots. We’re proud to be part of this vibrant community and are eager to welcome guests who are seeking an authentic experience in Costa Rica.
Since moving here, I’ve also created my own studio, where I craft jewelry inspired by the stunning surroundings. Each piece reflects not only the beauty of nature but also the journey that brought us here. We invite visitors to join us, experience the magic of the jungle, and create their own memories in this incredible paradise.
If you're interested in planning your trip to Costa Rica, feel free to reach out! We would love to help you discover all that this beautiful country has to offer.
We look forward to sharing our love for Costa Rica with everyone who crosses our threshold. Whether you’re seeking adventure or tranquility, Pacific Edge Eco Lodge is a place where you can reconnect with nature and yourself. Welcome to our little corner of paradise!
