Definitely, it is advisable to follow a simple set of rules and guidelines so that the pre-decided budget may remain stable and may not hit the roof for the tourists who look for substantial ways to cut their travel costs and expenses in Costa Rica starting from packing, transportation, lodging food and daily activities. Edward R. Mercer the “Co Owner of Ventana Del Pacifico”, a writer, environmentalist as well as entrepreneur came to Costa Rica with his wife in 1988 for just an Iron Man competition. Mutually, Ed and his wife invested in real estate and made the beautiful country their home for the rest of their life. A self prepared millionaire, Ed has helped almost 35 other persons turn millionaires like him. Ed created a one stop shop organization, an eco friendly company, where buying and selling of the real estate properties was made straightforward for the buyers as well as an gives an “etched in their minds” experience. Warmheartedly known as Mr. Costa Rica, a portion of every company sale by the staff of Ed Mercer goes towards improving infrastructure and reforestation efforts in Costa Rica.

A satisfied buyer from Ed’s company, namely Terry from Toronto reminisces of the best time he bought property with ocean view adjacent to the rainforest. He was greeted in a very friendly way by Ed’s manager at the spacious guest house and responded to all the queries while on the way to the tour of the property. He was shown three other properties right away in view of the fact that Terry had already put up for reservations. Now when the time comes that Terry chose one, he was floored to know that the price was $20,000 less as stressed out by the manager. Terry was bowled over by the work ethics of Sylvaine and Ed who were bogged down by making the buyers happy about their choice rather than simply making profits. Terry thanked Ed Mercer for preserving the rainforests and working in the most ecological friendly way as a developer as well as expressed that he felt safe in the hands of Ed, who he believes guarantees value for every single investment and thus hopes to retire peacefully in Costa Rica.

Ed’s caring extends beyond that of the visitors and investors to the area. An inductee into the prestigious Environmental Hall of Fame (for saving the endangered species of scarlet macaws, white faced monkeys and sea turtles in Costa Rica), Ed shares the stage with environmentalists, ecological minds, entrepreneurs and inventors of world fame. Ed strongly feels that sharing the platform with Tony Robbins, Donald Trump and Zig Ziglar has made his life more enriched by the exchange of creative ideas mutually. Having spoken in 86 countries around the world, the favorite topics of Ed’s public discourses are: Wealth Enhancement, Mentoring Millionaires, Personal Growth and Development, Costa Rica and Real Estate Investment. At the public speaking sessions, Ed humbly considers himself still a student still learning the nuances of doing business. Ed is committed to channeling his financial resources for the betterment of his community.

If you are foreseeing a happy travel, it is a must to pack light for genuine comfort throughout the trip, just as Ed came to Costa Rica as a traveler. It is ideal to own a small backpack that shall contain the highly essential items only. One may fill this backpack with drip dry garments which may easily dry overnight. Things like soap, shampoo or a mosquito repellent may be purchased in Costa Rica itself. Moreover, traveling by a local bus shall cut the costs and give a sense of exploring the country and mingling with the locals since Costa Rica has good bus transportation with a first-class connectivity. Splitting the costs incurred is also a good option if the vacationers are traveling in a group. There are the two local airlines named Sansa and Travel air that offer transport services to all the crucial tourist destinations spread throughout the country.

Furthermore, lots of small restaurants in Costa Rica are a good option as they cater to the tourists on a daily basis offering reasonable price for such nutritious food. The locals have a preference on family run shops that offer easy on the pocket or inexpensive items. These generally include meat, vegetables, rice and beans, cabbage salad as well as tortillas occasionally. The spotted rooster or Gallo pinto is the national dish made from fried rice and black beans and often includes fried eggs as well. The tourists can stock up on water, juice, bread or cheese from the supermarkets. Just remember that it is good to book your hotel in off seasons since the rates are much lower.
