Welcome to Talking Travel with Wendy, where every trip is an adventure and every story brings you closer to your next journey. Today, I'm bringing you to Costa Rica for a “Pura Vida” escape with GAdventures — a small-group, sustainable tour that put 100% of its Ripple Score back into the local community. We’ll sip our way through a coffee cooperative in Sarapiquí, climb down to the thundering La Fortuna Waterfall, soak in hot springs under tropical rain, ride horses through the cloud forest of Monteverde, and taste our way from street-food stalls in Quepos to cozy cafés with the prettiest cups of coffee.

Along the way, you’ll hear how rooming with a “stranger” turned into a travel friendship, why Costa Rica’s wellness-forward food scene stole the show, and how choosing responsible travel can deepen your experience while supporting the people who make it special.

If “Pura Vida” is on your bucket list, stick around for tips, favorite stays, and ideas to help you plan your own Costa Rica quest. Hit follow, and check the show notes to learn more about the tour and how to join a future trip with Travel with Wendy. Let’s go!
