Hello!
We are Yeison and Samantha, the couple behind Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel. We are a married couple living in Costa Rica full time.

What Sets Up Apart From Other Costa Rica Blogs and Agencies
There are a lot of travel agents, agencies and blogs about Costa Rica and some of them have good information, some don’t.
But something most don’t have is the year round local perspective since they are all mostly written by foreigners who visited Costa Rica once in awhile, or some are here temporarily.
We live in Costa Rica year round and are constantly traveling around the country to update our content to bring you the latest information, as much as possible.
Something else we are proud to provide is premiere customer service when readers book their travel services through us. We respond to booking inquiries within 24 hours and are more than happy to help negotiate rates, provide on the ground assistance and offer our personal recommendations to our readers.
Mytanfeet is a registered Costa Rican travel consulting company based in Guanacaste. Mytanfeet LLC is registered with the State of Florida as a Seller of Travel, Registration NO. ST44660.

Hi Yeison and Sammi! I heard about you two from our frinds who own the great Mini Golf Bolas Locus in Tamarindo. They appreciated your visit and told us what great things you are doing. We took an early retirement when my employer started changing philosophies without telling the staff…. We sold everything we had built for 61 years of life and bought four little cabins 500 meters from the beach in Tamarindo. The cabins are LOTS of work and with no income, we are trying to do as much as we can as economically as possible. We would love to put you two up for a night or weekend sometime when we have an empty cabin. We love to share our love of Tamarindo and the great life we have now. Find us on Facebook or via our email!
Pura Vida, Mae.

Although I signed up a while ago this is my first visit to your site. I live in San Blas de Sardinal, Canton de Carrillo, Guanacaste, where I landed in the Peace Corps in late 1968. My former husband & I came straight out of PC camp & college in the Los Angeles, CA area to become atytpical volunteers who “went native”, stayed for almost 10 years, had 3 CR born kids, failed at back-to-the-land funky farming, returned to LA, I got a teaching crede ntial & taught for 20 years, I returned to my home in San Blas to retire & raise one CR born grandson in 2002, added 3more grandsons in 2004, am currently in the home-stretch with the last grandson, Robert, 13, whom I will raise. I am 66 years old, love to travel, but have very creaky knees which limits me somewhat & my finances don’t include the extra cash for a Cleopatra litter & 4 strong bearers, so my travel is mostly wishful hoping or practical doing.
My acupuncture doctor/ friends in Liberia are Taiwanese who came separately in search of a peaceful place found each other & have two CR born kids. I haven’t seen them in a while & will visit soon. Marilyn, the 78 year old, sounds like she is in better shape than many of us a decade younger. I retired here in 2002 & know that as the permanent resident mother of 3, grandmother of 8 & great grandmother of one Costa Rican that they will never kick me out even if I never take the citizenship test. I love what you are doing & that it is absolutely real & not hype. This little corner of CR is my heart’s home & in spite of cultural differences that will never disappear I love my adopted “gente” completely, even the incomprehensible. Keep on informing & enjoy what you do.
Sammi says
Aw thank you for the kind words Terry! It’s amazing what can change your life with one simple decision and it’s amazing to hear a story of how someone discovers and ends up in a small country far away from their original home. I hope that I can stay in Costa Rica for a long time. The cultural differences definitely make it an even more enriching experience and it’s been a wonderful adventure so far! Thanks for the comment, it means so much to us to hear you enjoy it and we just want our readers and everyone to know how amazing Costa Rica is. Pura vida!

Marilyn Braswell says
Just happen on your web site. I love your name, so cleaver. I have been to CR 6 years in a row helping building a Methodist Church in Alajuela. I have been two time with the Arkansas Master Garderners. On the first trip with them I got very sick with your crug. And one of the tour guides took me under his wing and took the best care of me. Long story short short we bonded and have became great friends. Last summer he visit in Ark and spent a week with us. Then in Feb of this year I spent 1 week with friends from the church and 1 week with Maguiel and his wife. Then he and I flew to Panama to meet the Master Gardeners and spent 10 days there. He was the tour guide. So I have seen alot of the c jountry but thereis so much more to see. I am 78 so my tiome is getting short. I do hope to visit them again next year if possible. So this is the reason I know that I am really going to enjoy what you all have to say about your land. I would love to live there, but should have found out about CR before I begin to get older. Tthanks, so much, Marilyn Braswell, DeWitt, Arkansas
Sammi says
Hi Marilyn,
Thank you so much for the kind words! It is comments like yours that inspire us to write more and work harder. It sounds like you have had some really wonderful experiences in CR, the people here are SO nice so I’m not surprised that you and your guide became such great friends! I think at no matter what age, travel is always something everyone can enjoy and there’s always something to learn even if it’s just a few miles from your house. I hope that you will be able to continue visiting CR and see as much as you can! It is a wonderful country with so much to offer. If you have any more questions or if there’s something in particular you would like us to talk about, feel free to tell us! We will make sure to have good content for you to enjoy. We truly appreciate you stopping by our page 🙂 Take care!
Yeison says “pura vida mae and see you soon” 🙂
