Hola, I'm Leonora—a lifelong explorer with a passion for discovering the world's hidden gems. I now call Costa Rica home. My path here began in the wilds of Alaska, winding through countless states—most memorably, two decades in sun-soaked Hawaii—before leading me to this vibrant country where I've chosen to plant new roots. Of all the places I’ve wandered, Costa Rica is the most dazzling—alive with color, culture, and untamed beauty. Each destination in my past left its mark, but here, I’ve found the perfect blend of wild adventure, tranquil refuge, and endless wonder for this chapter of my life. After devoting over 45 years to real estate, I finally surrendered to my true calling: sharing the wonders I’ve gathered from a lifetime of discovery. Whether it’s the playful energy of animals or the quiet majesty of the ocean’s giants, my adventures have always been guided by a profound awe for the natural world. So join me as I dive into new adventures—both in and out of the water—and share in the stories that continue to shape my life.
