About us Mytanfeet

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 you can find on our Mytanfeet Costa Rica travel website

If you’re looking for a Costa Rica travel blog that’s chock full of information but not written like a dry guide book, this is the site for you.

You’ll find our personal stories and experiences traveling around Costa Rica. We produce our own videos, take our own photos and write our own observations and recommendations.

We’re constantly traveling around Costa Rica to update our content to bring you the latest information, as much as possible.

We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we enjoy writing them!

  • Costa Rica COVID-19: Information about coronavirus in Costa Rica.
  • Costa Rica destinations map: We put together a map with all our guides and articles.
  • Costa Rica restaurant map: We know finding a place to eat is one of the toughest things when traveling internationally. Use our map for our personal recommendations!
  • Guides. Find our guides to popular destinations like Tamarindo, Monteverde, La Fortuna, Manuel Antonio and Jaco.
  • Costa Rica travel tips. Everything from what to pack, traveling safely, traveling on a budget, renting a car and more.
  • Adventure. You can read all about our favorite adventures in Costa Rica like white water rafting, canyoning, and ziplining.
  • Itineraries. We plan a lot of trips for our families and friends and this is what Yeison did for many years when he used to work for a travel agency.
  • Discounts. We have partnerships with companies in Costa Rica to give discounts for hotels, tours and transportation. Click here to get our Costa Rica travel discounts. We want to help you not just have a great time in Costa Rica, but save some money doing so!

Our main goal for the blog is to help visitors experience Costa Rica with confidence so that everyone has a fun, safe and worry free time in Costa Rica.

We write every single one of our posts with that in mind.

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.

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.

    Hola! Heard about your site from a coworker who knew Samantha from high school. We’re leaving US to go on a group tour tomorrow to see CR national parks, flora, fauna, culture. Love your story and you living your dream. Hope you get back to vet school one day, if not there will be other paths. Really looking forward to seeing the country.

    Great video and the branding of your tan feet is fabulous — I’ve been looking to create something similar for my blog – and you’ve just inspired me to get on with it!

    p.s. I loved your icons on Twitter the best – the ones without the bags.

    I love your story & website! The about video is fabuloso! I have wanted to go to Costa Rica for awhile now – maybe I will get there soon. If you are ever both in Honduras we can show you the Caves of Talgua, eat great tamales de elote & adventure up into the mountains!

    Cheers!

    Hi, sammi! Have you ever visited Copey de Dota in Zonal de los Santos? You gotta go there and enjoy the nature and the people this place offers to all who come with a smile in their faces.

        Hi Bridget! We had a blast in Panama and I bet your dad and you have some good stories about working and living there, it’s a beautiful country. I hope you get to visit Costa Rica one day, it’s really amazing and surprisingly quite different from Panama. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you had a great New Year! I think some of the stores you can buy from (we tried to buy from the electronics store) but not positive about it – better to take a look at their site ๐Ÿ™‚
