    Nosara neighborhoods San Ramón & Los Angeles need 22k asap for water access

    This episode is a quick overview, in English, for everyone interested in helping solve a serious issue in Nosara. Some of Nosara’s most populated, and poorest, Tico neighborhoods (San Ramón & Los Angeles) are facing a tremendous challenge as they are lacking water. According to the Nosara ASADA, only $22,000 is needed to solve a serious issue not only in lacking water, but the upcoming health crisis if unsanitary water is what is being consumed and used.

    Episode in Spanish added here soon.

  • Plunge Nosara; Infrared Sauna & 3 differing temperature cold plunge tanks

    Plunge Nosara; Infrared Sauna & 3 differing temperature cold plunge tanks

    Plunge Nosara is a spot for an infrared sauna & three different temperatures of cold plunge tanks. It’s fantastic place to cool down and improve inflammation or deal with sickness or soreness in your body. My old friend Mike from Beach Dog Cafe recently saw me walking to the beach, super sore like, as I was recovering from dengue. He urged me to come try out his new business, Plunge Nosara, and I’m super grateful I did. It did not take long to make a big difference in soreness and mental calibration, and I strongly recommend it for anyone with sickness or soreness or any kind of TBI. The first time was a wave of emotions but thereafter has been a smooth ride into less pain and a healthier mindset.
