Slow week in my life in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Welcome to part one of my two-week slow travel journey through the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. In this vlog, I share what it feels like to live in Puerto Viejo — beyond just visiting.

Watch Part Two here:    • 4 days in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica 🇨🇷 vlog  

This coast holds a special place in my heart. With its Afro-Caribbean roots, Jamaican and Rasta influences, jungle-lined beaches, and soul-warming food, Puerto Viejo always brings me back to myself.

Come along as I move through slow mornings, local markets, beach days, and birthday reflections — soaking in the rhythm, the colors, and the ease of life here.
