This episode of the Nosara Podcast features the Nosara Performing Arts Academy (NPAA) owners, Adrienne Fittzmaurice and Hayley MacMillan Ord. They stopped in the studio to explain what the NPAA program is all about.
The NPAA is officially open and well on their way to bringing cultures together teaching classes through the arts.
It is exciting to hear what’s happening and hopefully we as a community can help more children get involved in art programs.
I hope you enjoy this episode!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ryan is living a life of adventure few humans understand. His phone steadily beeps with items small and sometimes very big he needs to deal with. He has 2 small children and a warrior of a wife dealing with her own health challenges… ‘So how does he do it?’ one may ask.

BarriGuiones is an organization improving Playa Guiones and Nosara. Gerardo is the Project Director and is the ideal person to lead this project. He stopped by to speak with Rich for a 2019 update about what they’ve accomplished and where he is looking to go. Along the way there’s lots of discussion about development in Nosara and likes and dislikes or our area.
We hope you enjoy this discussion. The first version is a short one and later on we will release the full discussion.
Nosara has a crime issue.
This is no surprise and is not anything new. In fact, pretty much all of Costa Rica, Latin America and most every tourist town in the world has some sort of crime problem. In the Nosara area our most alarming trend is the house break-ins. They seem to be increasing in frequency and it is downright impressive how the thieves are very seldom caught in the act.
But there is a solution.
Please check out this quick discussion I had with Andrew Saxton to hear for yourself what one street in Guiones did to take action and prevent robberies.
This is about 6 minutes and I’d appreciate if you share it with anyone who owns property in, lives in, or visits Nosara.
Most of our crime is preventable and it is time for the people of Nosara to cooperate and begin to implement these strategies. Please dial into the guidance of the Nosara Security Association and join in the upcoming webinars working to unite all of the areas for strategies like the one in this video. It works and it is time to take action.
In this podcast you might notice why Jon Mangogna is quickly turning into one of the most well known personal trainers in Nosara. His unique, personalized style of training functions well whether you just want to improve your fitness levels or if you have a specific injury which you may need to rehabilitate from.
We talk a good bit about Nosara too and how Jon enjoys the ability to move freely amongst social circles and the various companies while being able to avoid the typical small town gossip scene. Along the way Jon and I each agree to each expand our horizons a bit with his being riding different surfboards and mine trying out his new health concoction he brought back from his last trip.
Hopefully you enjoy hearing about his journey to, and making a living in, Nosara along with his mental processes and his life right now.
PS – Check the end of the video podcast for Jon showing us ‘The Founder’ which is one of Foundation Training’s principal techniques.

Lucca and his wife Evangelina are the founders of Salagnac Architects and have been working in Nosara since 2006. They have been, and still are, completely dedicated to progressing the ‘Contemporary Tropical’ style of architecture in our area and it shows in their results. I had the good fortune to sit down with Lucca to cover his story and go over some specific examples and hear how some of his projects have come to fruition. I hope you enjoy this interview and learning more about Nosara’s busiest architect.
