International – Costa Rica

Hi! Hola! Previt! Bon Jour! Ciao! Guten Tag! Sign up Now! for fun info on traveling to Latin America!

I looooooooove to travel. And do it as often as I possibly can. For the moment, my son and I are living in Costa Rica. The land of no Artificial Ingredients.

Since we’re here on an extended stay, I’m making it my home and greening it up! The problem with Latin American countries is that they are way behind in their green ways. So I’ve got to improvise a lot and that makes it even more natural and fun!!!

I moved into a great mountain cabin community where the owner has been amazing at digging a compost hole for me and I found the local recycling center, since they don’t pick up in this area.

I’m not a gardener at all, however, the amount of organic waste that I have, and it’s just my son and I, is truly incredible. It’s more than half of my garbage.

Actually I had the gardener do the hole for me, the beauty of renting in a gorgeous area
