Creating Paradise Costa Rica

Hola, and welcome to Creating Paradise - Costa Rica!

I’m Harley, an expat from the U.S., and together with my Costa Rican (Tico) husband, Oli, we’re building a life of love, adventure, and pura vida. From launching a waterfall tour, running our Mexican food bus, to creating nature-inspired art, this channel offers a behind-the-scenes look at our journey in one of the world’s most beautiful tourist destinations.

You fall in love in Costa Rica. This is what happens next.

I come from a 9-5 mindset, but that all changed when I moved here. Now, I’m learning what it means to be truly free - taking risks and embracing each moment. Whether we're fixing up our open-air jungle home, cooking local dishes (for ourselves or in the restaurant), or hiking into the wild (sometimes with our pack of dog-children), I'll share the reality of creating paradise.

Laugh with us, get inspired, and follow along as we flip the script.
