Welcome to Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel!
Thanks for checking out our Costa Rica Travel Blog and we’re happy you want to know more about us!
Who is Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel?
Hello!
We are Yeison and Samantha, the couple behind Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel. We are a married couple living in Costa Rica full time.
Yeison (pronounced like Jason) is Costa Rican, born and raised.
Samantha moved to Costa Rica in 2012 from the United States.
We have been traveling together in Costa Rica since 2010 and love sharing our stories, tips and experiences on Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel.
It’s a lot of fun and we’re very lucky to have been doing this for many years!
About Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel Blog
Mytanfeet is a travel blog and resource where you will find all sorts of information on traveling in Costa Rica.
We also share some stories of our life in Costa Rica.
Why we started Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel Blog
When Samantha first moved to Costa Rica, she started this Costa Rica travel blog as a way to document her new life abroad but it grew into much more than just a journal.
Back in 2012, there weren’t many travel blogs about Costa Rica. There weren’t even Instagrammers. So the more we wrote blog posts, made videos and posted photos the more our blog grew.
We love Costa Rica and our goal is to help everyone fall in love with it, especially Yeison. He wants everyone to have a wonderful time in his country and discover pura vida!
Furthermore, we wanted to share our stories and tips from not just a foreigner, but also a local point of view. Together, we have traveled throughout the entire country and we are always re-visiting places to update our content with the latest information, as much as possible.
We think sets us a bit apart from other blogs and websites, especially nowadays when you find content from influencers who have only visited Costa Rica once for short periods of times.
Yeison has worked in the tourism industry for over 20 years and has traveled extensively in Costa Rica. He loves sharing his insider local knowledge so people can experience his country a little bit like a local.
We both know what to look for since we travel internationally quite a bit as well.
Ever since the blog started, we haven’t stopped blogging or traveling.
We love traveling, we love Costa Rica and we love blogging so we want to share that love with all our readers and inspire them to take a life-changing trip to Costa Rica one day.

What sets up apart from other Costa Rica travel blogs
There are a lot of influencers and blogs about Costa Rica and some of them have good information, some don’t.
But something most don’t have is the local perspective since they are all mostly written by foreigners who visited Costa Rica only once, or some are here temporarily.
Nothing wrong with that of course!
BUT since Costa Rica is such a touristic country, it can be hard to find that local flavor with continuously updated information that doesn’t sound like regurgitated or copied information.
Since we live here and travel throughout Costa Rica all the time, we’re always updating our blog posts with the sole purpose of helping our readers in mind.
Additionally, we love seeking out the lesser known places and sharing that with those who enjoy off the beaten path adventures.
We are also always updating our blog posts and guides to bring you the most updated and relevant information possible.
You will find a lot of local tips and perspectives on our site that you won’t really find on other blogs.
We decided to focus heavily on bringing that Costa Rican flavor to our blog since we want to make sure every visitor leaves with amazing memories and experiences of Costa Rica.
We constantly update Mytanfeet to bring you the latest information as we personally visit the places ourselves and add more personal tips, more recommendations and more stories every single day.
All photos, videos and blog posts were created and produced by us.
This project is a dream come true for us and because Costa Rica is our home, Mytanfeet will be around for a long time.

I have to say we really appreciate your service and have travelled a few times using your advice, booked our cars through Adobe, etc… It’s a great site and we reference it often on our third & fourth trips to Costa Rica. Very useful and we’ve recommended it to many others! Can’t wait to see some of your international (non-Costa Rician) blogs! Come to Canada (British Columbia specifically) and we’ll give you ideas….
Sammi says
Hi Toni, thank you so much for reading our site and using our services. We are very glad the site is helpful! We have our international site up https://mytanfeet-travels.com/ though I need to publish a ton of articles. We just did our first trip to Canada (Toronto) this week and and are soo excited to explore more of Canada thanks to the new direct flights!

I had wonderful help from Luis planning a trip with my 78 year old husband. He has limited mobility due to back issues. Juan was able to suggest tours that matched our dates and location that would be suitable. Thank you Luis. I look forward to using your company in the future.
Sammi says
Hi Gina, we hope we can assist you in the future!

Just returned from 10 day trip and used so many tips from this site. Adobe car rental was perfect and the roads were a journey. All I can say is you will learn Reductor (Speed bump so reduce speed) and Ceda (Yield or Cede because only 1 car fits) pretty quick.
We flew into Liberia airport and headed back to Arenal to do Ziplining and White Water rafting. The links and suggestions were perfect. We had a blast.
We then headed towards Tamarindo area. If you want to be around crowds and US style restaurants, Tamarindo is for you. For us, we stayed 30 mins away in a VRBO. Close enough to visit but far enough from the young party animals.
The suggestion on money was extremely helpful as well.
Not only did we use the site ahead of time to plan and book excursions, we also used it while there to remind us about Playa Conchal. That was by far the best beach experience we had. Yes you have to walk but once you get there, you get the food and drink experience without having to get up from your spot.
Thank you for the time you put in to update the information. It was extremely helpful.

Hello David and Erica, thank you so much for the feedback and comments, we’re glad you had a great time in Costa Rica and it was a pleasure to assist you!
