If you can get to the nicoya peninsula, do it. Beaches like Santa Teresa are the perfect place to visit for my personal tastes. Just a lot of beautiful beaches, not too many people and good surf. If that is too far out of the way. Maybe go south the Manuel Antonia and go to the beach there. I thought Arenal was over rated. The volcano isn't erupting anymore. There is a good "extreme hike" and white water rafting, but I thought the beaches and surfing were way better investments of my time.

Pura vida mae!!!!

Warning: Traffic getting back to San Jose is awful. We're talking about 2-3 hours longer than the GPS says it'll take. Make sure to account for that if you don't stay in San Jose the day of your flight out.

Oh. Also. There isn't a ton to see in San Jose so plan on spending a max of 1 day there. I really liked Manuel Antonio, Dominical, and Uvita.

Manuel Antonio

Get out of San Jose. Hop a flight to Tamarindo or anywhere else

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
