Welcome to our blog. I am Veronika. Originally I come from a small village in the mountains of Austria, but I have lived in Costa Rica for almost 20 years. Traveling and experiencing adventure has always been my passion. Not least because of this, I decided to turn my dream of traveling into my life’s work: I studied tourism and came to Costa Rica for the first time during my studies.

Not only did I fall in love with the country straight away, but also with Esteban, my husband, today. Nevertheless, I moved to the big wide world, worked on cruise ships, among other things, and came back to Costa Rica. Together with my husband, I founded Bella Aventura, our travel agency, in Costa Rica in 2009.

Since then, traveling has been part of our everyday life: we regularly plunge into new adventures and discover the country from entirely new perspectives and facets that few travelers get to know. Always with us: our three children, who have inherited the same love of adventure. Thanks to my extensive experience with Austrian and Costa Rican culture, I know my way around both environments perfectly. And with my three kids, I also have an incomparable wealth of experience traveling as a family with children. That’s exactly what I want to share here on the blog – exciting insider knowledge, helpful information, but also insider tips or recommendations for all those who are just as in love with Costa Rica as I am!
