    NP #62: Beverly Kitson’s Nosara Podcast Episode; 50 years of life in Nosara

    Beverly Kitson is a legendary figure in Nosara everyone should know about. Over the past 50 years, she has seen Nosara form into what it is today.

    In addition, as a founder of the Biblioteca David Kitson she has for many years helped the local Tico populace arguably as much as anyone ever has in this area.

    The Biblioteca is named after Beverly’s late husband David Kitson. It continues to produce an amazing amount of good for the Nosara community.

    It is a privilege to share her Nosara Podcast episode and I’m excited for people to hear her story. In this episode, you are going to hear about and see some pictures of a Nosara from a long time ago.

    Take a guess where this is…

    I want to thank Beverly Kitson for sharing some pictures from her amazing slide show of Nosara’s history as well as the Nosara Civic Association for their historical photos which can be seen in this episode.

    NP #61: Isis Mejía Podcast Episode; Lots of laughter, some tears, becoming ‘kind of hippy,’ creating karate champions, Nosara dislikes, the ‘Secret to Marriage,’ favorite Nosara restaurants and much more…

    Isis Mejía is a longtime family friend, coach to my kids, and a popular, positive person known as a successful karate coach, and physical therapist (she is the owner and operator of Nosara Bodywork).

    Img 1592

    Since moving to Nosara she has developed a championship karate team, created a significant following in her physical therapist business, and enjoys serving at Nosara Animal Care.

    Img 1148Img 1582

    Professionally: She has navigated positions peacefully in a very small town having worked at the Harmony Hotel, Del Mar Academy, and now Nosara Bodywork in addition to operating her successful Nosara Karate Academy.

    Img 3880

    Personally: In this episode, Isis explains: Her secret to marriage, apologizes for her 2 beagle dogs who constantly break out, how she is a black belt in karate with a father who fought Chuck Norris (true story), really dislikes Chepeños (people from San Jose) even though she herself is from San Jose, and this is just the beginning…

    Img 3876 1

    Over the years I have noticed few people know the many different versions of Isis. They only know one or 2… So my goal in this Nosara Podcast episode was for Isis to show her true opinions and emotions; which she definitely did. She’s really funny and very upfront in her podcast…

    Img 3869Img 3872Img 3858Img 3871

    For certain this is one of my favorite episodes and I hope you enjoy getting to know Isis!

    NP #56: Stephan from Blue Spirit and Omega Institute shares his story and special events happening both for Nosara residents and Blue Spirit guests this high season starting January 9th at 7:30pm

    Nosara residents are being invited to Blue Spirit this high season for some extra special guest seminars which Blue Spirit Owner Stephan Rechtschaffen feels are worth taking advantage of. Blue Spirit begins these seminars on Thursday, January 9th with Christiana Figueres and Roshi Joan Halifax speaking at a special event starting at 7:30pm. The general public is invited to this event as well as others which are scheduled in 2020.

    Figueres was appointed Executive Secretary of the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2010 and has worked over 35 years as a Costa Rican diplomat. Halifax is a Buddhist teacher, Zen priest, anthropologist, well known author, and specialist in end of life care.

    In this podcast, Stephan details his story, many opinions on Nosara, and announces this exciting kickoff to an impressive lineup of speakers which he hopes brings Blue Spirit guests and Nosara residents together towards a common cause.

    NP #55: The Nosara Restaurant Episode: Nosara Podcast Season 1 guests share their Top 3 favorite Nosara restaurants and what they order there

    Regular listeners of the Nosara Podcast know I ask every new Nosara Podcast guest what their 3 favorite restaurants are, and what they like to order…

    Well, the first season of the Nosara Podcast is finalized and this episode is my Christmas and 2020 New Years present to both Nosara residents and people visiting Nosara.

    Please enjoy hearing Nosara’s most interesting and influential people explaining their Top 3 favorite restaurants and what they like to order there.

    My opinion is this episode is far more valuable than Trip Advisor or other internet banter as everyone in this episode is a Nosara local and qualified to speak with far more authority than a tourist just passing through.

    NP #54: Santiago from Olo Alaia tells his story

    I’m pretty excited about this episode. Reason being, Santiago Milè stopped by the studio to share his personal story and journey to Nosara. If you don’t already know him, Santiago works at Olo Alaia and is greatly respected as a barista and an artist… But like many artists, he is seldom understood. Santiago seems like a very serious guy, and he has a very good reason: Santiago is focused on his craft and creating a unique, quality experience for every guest he serves. He’s dedicating his life to this and feels providing a quality experience for every guest is far more important than idle chit chat.

    In one this one hour episode Santiago shares how his life started around coffee and how he developed his skill set, how he has been visiting Nosara since childhood, his thoughts about Nosara’s growth pattern, his likes and dislikes of our community, being an artist and barista, and much more.

    We hope you enjoy this episode and getting to know Santiago!

    NP #51: Nosara Recicla’s new project ‘Metamorphosis‘ is almost ready to launch

    Nosara Recicla is up to great things and the newest project is called ‘Metamorphosis.’ In this episode of the Nosara Podcast Angie from Manta Raya, Daniel from Harmony Projects, and our friend Cristian from Nosara Recicla come in to explain what they are up to and why they are asking for our support.

    Img 2528

    The main goal is to take recycled materials and build facilities everyone from tourists to locals can enjoy which bring beauty and awareness while improving our community. A well known designer agreed to design the facilities and Nosara Recicla is ready to spring into action and bring this project to life.

    Img 2527

    As you will hear in this episode Angie, Daniel, and Cristian are passionate about the project and are hoping you will support them. Their financial needs are extremely low compared to most projects but volunteers are a high priority.

    NP #18: February 2019 Nosara Security Association Update: Call To Action On Private Security Throughout Playas de Nosara

    Img 1185

    All of Central America, including Nosara, has problems with petty theft. The Nosara Security Association is trying to deter and prevent house break in’s as well as all other types of crime we experience. Private Security is the only real solution we have for this.

    In this breakdown Rich shows how the Beaches of Nosara could feasibly link up to drastically decrease crime in our community.

    We’ve heard every objection and tried loads of different ways… Private Security is THE only method which works 99% of the time.

    Your neighborhood should have a WhatsApp group to link into. Send me a message if you need the info.

    If you have a location we can utilize security cameras, please let us know.

    These new security cameras like Ring are working extremely well and we appreciate the photos of ‘creepers’ and attempted break-ins. We’ve identified several people already with these so thank you.

    Main point: If we have private security in each neighborhood we can eliminate most of the crime we experience.

    Please get with your property manager or myself ASAP so connect about linking up your neighborhood.

    *I am willing to do a personalized webinar for your neighborhood until November 2019.
