Do you have a bucket list? Or maybe a travel wish list? I do, I call it my Wanderlust List. It’s a list of incredible world wonders that I dream of experiencing some day. Some are epic adventures others are more ordinary – it’s a good mix. They may never happen but it’s good to have a dream.
The Seven Wonders of the World are a good starting point for a bucket list but the wondrous experiences our planet has to offer are countless. From the thrill of seeing an animal in its natural habitat or coming face to face with the power of nature. An iconic landmark that symbolises a place or a travel encounter that stopped you in your tracks and marked you forever.
Costa Rica, in Central America, might be a small country but it packs a seriously big punch when comes to adventure, wildlife and nature. It’s also one of the happiest countries on earth.
Costa Rica is bordered by Panama to the South and Nicaragua to the North. Its location between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea means there are two contrasting coastlines to discover and a whole lot more in between.

Our Costa Rica adventure covered everything from high altitude cloud forests, jungles and rainforests to beaches and volcanoes. Waterfalls and canopy walks took our breath away and the wildlife watching was epic. We spent an unforgettable two weeks in Costa Rica – here are some of the highlights.
Si Como No resort and wildlife refuge is a sustainable resort in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Read on for my Si Como No review to find out why we fell big time for this Manuel Antonio eco resort.

Si Como No resort and wildlife refuge was the main reason we stayed three extra nights in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. We had two nights booked at Si Como No and three more nights until we were due to fly home. The plan was to drive further down the coast and book in somewhere else. Fifteen minutes sat on our balcony was all it took to decide to spend the remainder of our trip in this authentic Costa Rican eco-resort. What does ‘Si Como No‘ mean? It means ‘yes, why not’. So we did.
