Shiona in Her Own Words

From my first visit almost 30 years ago, I have been hooked on Costa Rica. I have now lived here for over 20 years and am raising a small family of my own. For me, Costa Rica is magic—from the warmth of the people to the intense lushness of the rainforest, the abundant wildlife, and the stunning beaches.

Nothing beats the feeling of exploring Costa Rica and finding your next favorite thing in it. And the best part of working at Costa Rican Vacations is knowing that I get to share that magic with my clients.
In the past I have worked at a high school and university, but also in luxury vacation villas, so I know their ins and outs. And if you're looking to book a personalized vacation that shows you all those corners of Costa Rica, I'm happy to help.

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.
