Your local Costa Rica Travel agency, since 1999
Hometown: Mount Vernon, OH 
Hobbies: Traveling & wildlife viewing 
Fun fact: I’ve caught migratory birds from Costa Rica in Alaska (for research) 
Travel inspiration: Mark Twain and John Muir 
Specialties: Family Time, Honeymoon, All-inclusive After years of coming to visit Costa Rica, I finally moved here in May of 2021. I've lived in many places in the world from Alaska, to Montana, Fiji, and Oregon, and there was something magical about Costa Rica that lured me here.
I've traveled all over Costa Rica and I love the people here, the landscapes, the wildlife, and the vast beaches and ocean. It simply is special. I love sharing my knowledge and passion for this country with my clients. Help them plan amazing experiences here that will last for the rest of their lives! ~Pura Vida
Spotting vibrant toucans is a dream for any Costa Rica traveler, and with six species in our country, a lucky sighting can happen just about anywhere! Renowned for their long and colorful bills, they are impossible to overlook…
Review of Costa Rican Vacations
Reviewed June 2023 by Brooke C.
Matthew Briscoe and the travel team were exceptional. Matt took the time to listen to what we wanted on our 2 week trip and accommodated our whole family so everyone got what they wanted. We wanted an experience that was local, quiet and fun and we got all three!

We were in great hands from the moment we landed! Loved the excursions, hotels, and our driver “Marlon Brando.” You made everything smooth with great planning and thoughtful check-ins. Truly an enjoyable and worry-free trip!

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
