In this episode of Pura Vida Stories, Samantha dives into one of the most common questions we get: “Is Costa Rica safe for tourists?”

The short answer? Yes — but let’s unpack that with a little honesty, a few jokes, and plenty of pura vida perspective.

We talk about:
– The real risks vs. the sensational headlines,
– How to avoid petty theft without becoming paranoid,
– What to do if you get into trouble while traveling,
– And the truth behind those Airbnb break-in stories going around.

Samantha also shares practical tips for staying safe without killing the vibe — and reminds us that Costa Rica isn’t more dangerous than any other travel hotspot. It’s all about using your head, locking the door, and maybe not waving your new iPhone around like a winning lottery ticket.
