30 Minute Custom Consult

I’m Christa, the owner of Pura Vida Moms, a mom, a longtime Costa Rica traveler, and a contributing author for Lonely Planet Costa Rica.

This 30-minute consult is designed to help you make confident decisions and move forward with peace of mind. You’ll sit down with me and talk through your trip.

I’m not a travel agent, I don’t book trips, and I’m not here to sell you anything, just honest, practical guidance based on decades of experience.

I also offer a 60-minute consult. Not sure which you need? Check here.

PLEASE NOTE I WILL BE OUT OF THE OFFICE FROM FEBRUARY 11-18 AND NOT TAKING NEW WORK FOR THOSE DATES.
