Post "A week in Costa Rica!" by "Rachel Maksy" from patreon

Lily Sanchez

Costa Rica has so much to do. My family is from CR. I have been going there since I was 1 year old. There is definitely more off the beaten path to explore, but it's good to start slow, to get your bearings. Monte verde is actually one of the few places I haven't been. It's so beautiful.

Suzy Turner

This was AWESOME! I actually cried when you got home and saw Frodo though lol!

Misterandmissus Cuddleston

Loved this! Would love to see more travel vlogs. My husband and I started drawing as a part of our holidays because of your channel. It’s so nice to have a little quiet moment to take in the scenery of wherever you are 🧡

Kloé Bosman

Awesome video, makes me miss travelling sooo much! Can't wait for our trip to France next week though x 🥹✈️

Britney

also, I'VE MISSED FRODO CONTENT! (maybe a day in the life exploring the property with the good boy and painting him in different places for summer content)

Britney

well, this video gave all the cozy travel vibes. we did the off-the-beaten-path-frirend-who-is-there-as-a-peace-core-volunteer trip so it was nice to see the touristy parts of the country too!

Britney

also, nic looks so happy!

Emma-Rose Colk

I loved the focus on adorable animals in this!

Melissa

Gorgeous video! Love the Tomb Raider-esque hiking gear.

léa wynant

Thank you to share those beautiful moments with us, it really cheers me up! Such a fun vlog to watch !

Derrillynn Parker

He’s so happy to have you back! The rain storms seemed pretty magical but highlight was definitely the floppy eared cows 😂😅🐮

Monika vK

If you come back feel free to reach out, the others that have expressed interest in coming to CR too (Instagram @moni259), I love finding interesting restaurants and thingies, for example there is a restaurant that recreates pre-Columbian food with a lot of research and counsel from our indigenous people. Also there is a thrifting fair, where a lot of different small thrift shops and other small businesses come together to sell their products and its usually very interesting to browse around and see all the weird clothes, old vhs, casetes, vinils, art and more, it's called bombazar if anyone is interested

Rosie Cossentino

Thank you for sharing your adventure! I also really appreciated the Frodo reunion footage. I love to travel, but there’s nothing like coming home to my dog

Teegan Pritchard

I know sometimes you want to purely immerse yourself in the moment when on holiday, so thank you taking the time to film this vlog for us! I haven't travelled abroad in 5 years so this scratched my travel itch! Love, love, LOVE all your videos, but especially travel vlogs, so thank you for brightening my weekend ☺️

Saraphina

WHAT AN ADVENTURE! Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your trip!

Leigh

This was SO MUCH FUN to watch!!! I've never been to Costa Rica before, and it looks like a party! (I have to admit, my inner 12 year old was snickering at all the plants that looked like dongs, so thanks for including those.) I loved to see all the places you went and the stuff you saw!!

Monika vK

So excited for this! I'm Costa Rican and I'm so glad you enjoyed your time here :D Definitely fangirled when I saw you were in my little corner of the world haha The bird you heard that sounded like a T-Rex is called Oropendola, they also look wild while making the noises and they make the cutest nests, they are like long hanging pods in the trees.

Kate Ashton

I really appreciate that you take out your camera whenever you see a dog (or really any animal). This is the content I'm here for!!!

Thea Maia

Thank you for this awesome Patron gift! I haven’t traveled since COVID and I loved traveling through your eyes

Barbara Baker

I loved it! Thanks for taking the time to video for us!

GingerGeege

So wonderful! My husband and I really enjoyed seeing your travels. We are on the 5yr countdown to retirement, and we are planning to live in Costa Rica at some point. What coast did you end up on? We are thinking of living in Punta Morales or Puntarenas.

Beth Winegarner

I love this. Costa Rica looks beautiful and if I went there I would take photos and videos of every single animal, too. Relatable and fun. Thank you!

Jennifer

Nick vlogging to camera at the hot springs was a welcome surprise. This entire video including editing was simply premium chefs kiss.

Bess

It looks like you had such a wonderful time! My husband and I just watched and we've been influenced to book a holiday 😆 bet frodo and binx where so happy to see you! Next stop, The Lake District! (Its the best place ever, we live close by and it's really magical) xoxo

Mindy Kidder

What an amazing trip! Thank you for taking all of us along with you!! I will, likely, never visit Costa Rica, so it was wonderful to see it through your eyes!

My wife and I have been to Costa Rica. When you came out on the first day twirling in your skirt, she exclaimed, “I want to go to Costa Rica … with Rachel.” 😳
