Have you heard Dawn and Drew talk about their latest trip to Costa Rica? Fascinating stuff. Sounds like the trip from hell, though. Episodes 680-686 sans 683.

Sorry, this was one of the more boring podcasts I’ve listened to of yours… the guest didn’t talk about anything to do, but rather just listed a bunch of cities. It’s clear he loves nature, but seems to hate the people that go to costa rica. Blech.

I am really disappointed by this guest. Costa Rica is amazing! The food, the people and feeling of it. I have been there 4 times and the tourist issues of having people sell you or scam you are the same as you would experience in Hawaii. This guy doesn’t know Costa Rica the way I do at all. He doesn’t even mention the AMAZING wildlife that is EVERYWHERE YOU GO. I wish you would interview me instead! I feel like I have so many more useful tips and understanding of the country.
