Customized travel!

Who would you like to explore Costa Rica with? As Costa Rica specialists, we know the country has everything to offer.

Or perhaps you're just looking for a nice mix between rest and adventure? Whatever your travel needs are, we can already map out a plan for you to fit your budget. Can you picture it?

Mindfulness customized!

YES! You want to travel to the beautiful and diverse Costa Rica and then? Somewhere you are in dire need of a moment to yourself and are thinking about a retreat. But you also want to see something of the country and maybe do nothing and relax on the Caribbean coast. Fortunately, this country has everything your vacation heart desires. And can we feel free to make a travel plan together with the best of everything. So, for example, a 5-day yoga retreat followed by an Ayahuasca ceremony and then a lovely two weeks of recuperation in a cozy hippie beach village. What you want ... So what do you want?

Customized retreats

Need to unwind, find some depth or just do nothing at all? Costa Rica's motto for life is not for nothing "Pura Vida," or pure life; a relaxed, stress-free and delayed lifestyle. Virtually unique in the world and it may be said, the ideal climate for retreats. Consider yoga retreats, ecstatic dance festivals, cocoa and ayahuasca ceremonies, or taking plant medicine, for example. And so there are a legion of possibilities. What is good to know about this is that we have contacts throughout the country in the spiritual and mindful world who can contribute to your ideal journey. But first of all, we are very curious about where your needs lie. What do you feel most strongly about at the moment?

The most beautiful trip ever! I always wanted to travel, but for me it was a barrier to really going alone. I saw travel in the now on Instagram and I immediately felt that I had to do this. The trip turned out even better than I could imagine. Elise is a wonderful, sweet tour guide who takes her time and tries so hard to show you the most beautiful places in the country. She takes all her time. She gives good explanations about all the special places and, in combination with mindfulness, it made me completely in the moment. A bond was created with the group, but also with the environment and nature. I will never forget this trip and I will take it with me forever.PURA VIDALove, Daphne

I would definitely recommend a trip with Travelin The Now! Elise, the tour guide and founder, is a very nice person, someone you would like to be with! She knows how to connect people and especially groups with each other. For example, I once had a mindfulness (group) session where we learned a lot about each other. In addition to her open-minded character, Elise also has a lot of humor! She knows how to convey her knowledge and love for Costa Rica well. In short; This will be a trip you will never forget! ❤️

Elise had arranged everything wonderfully! We went to Costa Rica with our family without any worries. Enjoyed the beautiful nature, the waterfalls, volcanoes, the sea, the natural hot springs, local family in the blue zone, monkeys, birds, whales. But especially mindfulness and the beautiful conversations in the Hot springs. Elise knows how to connect everyone in the group. The hotels were beautiful and the local bus driver is great, he knows a lot about Costa Rica and can talk enthusiastically in good English.In short, a wonderful, wonderful holiday.www.travelin_the_now.com

Unforgatteble experience in Costa Rica!!! 🇨🇷February 2024I booked the trip of Elise together with my girlfriend, and we had a wonderful time together with Elise and the rest of the group in Costa Rica. The trip is full of amazing excursions throughout the country, and we got to see the most beautiful places in Costa Rica! 👀Since Elise traveled in the country and fell in love with Costa Rica during her journey, she knows how to take the group to very beautiful, but also fun and atmospheric places with plenty of exciting excursions!In addition, Elise made sure that we fully Traveled in The Now during the holiday!Moreover, she had selected beautiful hotels (all surrounded by nature with very friendly staff).My girlfriend and I also didn't notice any crime at all, quite the contrary, the people were super friendly and all fully enjoy life, which is also the atmosphere that the whole country radiates.The bus driver who toured us around also passionately shared various facts and information about different animals, plants en other stuff in Costa Rica while driving.I would definitely recommend this trip! If you look on Elise's Instagram or website, there are plenty of photos and videos showing how it will roughly look like.Also, take a look at what Elise recommends to bring, for example, water shoes, which I definitely recommend bringing along, so you can easily walk over rocks at the waterfalls.Elise, thank you! It was a fantastic trip! ❤️ Pura Vida 🤙🏼

We had an amazing 13-day trip. Elise really makes everyone feel at home. Even though we traveled a lot and been to so many magical places. Our personal driver Gilberto was a local who could tell a lot about the area and all it’s wonders. During the trip you’ll meet fellow travellers and make great connections. I will never forget the beach sunset with guitars that sprouted an intimate beach party. It was very spontaneous, but so much fun. Thanks Elise!
