Custom Field Notes for your family's trip

Tell me about your crew

Dates and how long. Everyone coming, with ages — kids and grandparents alike — and any mobility notes. Whether you're working while you're down. Ten minutes, one form.

I build your Field Notes

A day-by-day plan: tide-timed beach mornings, rain backups for every day, real drive times, and what to expect at every stop. If you're working, the days are built around your calls rather than in spite of them.

Plans meet weather. Email me for a month after delivery — before you go, and while you're there.

Working from Costa Rica

I'm an analytics manager. I work full time from Ojochal — video calls and all — with two kids in local school. Most trip planning assumes you're on holiday. If you're bringing your job, the constraints are different, and I plan for the actual ones.

Which places hold a video call and which don't. Working from a rental versus working from a café, and which cafés are worth the drive. How to build a week when you have meetings three days out of five and everyone still wants a beach day. What the school enrollment process looked like for us, what to ask, and what caught us out.

That last one is experience, not a recommendation list. I can tell you how it went for our family and what questions to ask. I won't hand you school fees I haven't verified this term.

What this is, and what it isn't

You get a day-by-day plan for the Southern Pacific zone — Ojochal, Uvita, Dominical, Marino Ballena, Sierpe — built from places I've been to in person, with the logistics that actually make or break a day. Delivered within five days. Email follow-up for thirty.

You don't get bookings. I don't reserve hotels, book flights, or arrange cars. I'll tell you what to book and when; you book it.

I plan this zone only. It's the coast I live on and the only one I can write about first-hand. If your trip is mostly Arenal or Guanacaste, I'm the wrong person, and I'd rather say so than take your money.
