Who are you, anyway?

Hi! My name is Alejandro Zúñiga, and I am a dual-citizen of Costa Rica and the United States. My day job is as a journalist for The Tico Times, and my weekends are spent finding the latest adventure in this incredible country I’m lucky to call home.

While you should by all means read The Tico Times, I’ve launched this project for a few reasons:

• I think it’s important that people who have a desire to stay informed have every opportunity to do so. If you’re trying to stay up-to-date with the news, the number of outlets (in Spanish and English) competing for your attention can do more harm than good. And if you’re considering visiting Costa Rica, planning a great trip can be daunting when so many “helpful” people just want your dollars.

• I enjoy writing and sharing stories about Costa Rica. My go-to artisanal bakery, latest wildlife encounter or favorite lesser-known beach isn’t necessarily front-page news elsewhere. But it’s perfect for someone who wants to visit Costa Rica for the first time or who wants to get to know the country better.

• I want to have some fun! Costa Rica is an adventure — in good ways and in bad. Let’s explore it together, in news, stories, photos and videos.
