Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love

Our Travel Gear:
Microsoft Surface, Travel Laptop: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.

Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Our Packs/Luggage: Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

I was just in Costa Rica and had almost all of this. Had gallo pinto every morning, ceviche, Casado 😋, chifrijo and arroz con camarones. I wish they had more Costa Rican food in the states!

[MrsLegalDiva]

Short answer: EVERYTHING 😍. The food is amazing in Costa Rica and the coffee is the best!!!

I like our food culture because people cook homemade food we avoid processed food as much as posible

[RodHerzstrom]

As a Costa Rican guy in Europe. I miss this food so freaking much 🤤

A small detail for the "casado" typical plate, it has a couple origin stories about why it's named that. The first theory states that men would ask the women who typically cook at the sodas for more food and to treat them as "married men" or "casados" in the sense of a home cooked meal like their wives would make (mostly portion size). Another story says that the food is "married" to each other as it's all served together on one plate. Another theory states that a "casado" is the first meal as a married couple has, which has many small dishes to complement the rice and this way the wife will find out on the first day what her husband likes to eat.

Something fun to think about a typical and traditional Costa Rican lunch dish's name.

Costa Rican living in the US here! 👋 I really miss our food! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video, you only missed "picadillos"!

[anush]

The bean sauce you’re talking about is called frijoles molidos and is indeed very tasty you can eat with chips, rice, bread or put it on your tortilla (my favorite way hehe)

[andrearonaldo]

Awesome video!! You made everything sound so good even without pictures!!

CR has lots of freshly squeezed juice so many farms around

[here-right-here]

Too bad you didn't try the full(with ice cream) Churchil/Copos/Granizados. This crazy cold dessert has shaved ice, syrup, powdered milk, sweetened condensed milk and a scoop of ice cream for the full version. These ingredients are layered. It is delicious and quite sweet. Fantastic to cool down with. You can find the version without ice cream being served out of mobile carts everywhere.

We are a costarican family used to many years of explaining tipico food to travelers, at home or at a soadita with an open menu. Our guests love it. You did a good job in this video.

[marylanddagotti]

Costa Rica 🇨🇷 is on my bucket list to places I want to visit

[hlynnkeith]

Costa Rican coffee is my favorite, too. No bitter afterbite. Excellent taste and smooth finish. Low acid.

[mannycas]

Had 6 days in CR last Oct 2019 and made sure 3 of those 6 days had Imperial in it. Made sure to get my last Imperial at the airport when returning to Belize, my home.
