This is our complete Samara Beach Travel Guide, including where to eat, where to drink, where to stay and what to do in Samara Costa Rica.

This weekly series focuses on budget accommodation gems we discover while on the road. This week: Little Corn Beach & Bungalow on Little Corn Island, Nicaragua.

If you go to the Corn Islands off Nicaragua’s Caribbean coast, make sure you know the difference between the two. It can make or break your holiday experience.

There is no feeling like arriving in the Caribbean – that humid air, the white sand, that easygoing feeling…but is a trip to the Corn Islands of Nicaragua worth a visit?

With the sounds of surfer talk like ‘gnarly’ and ‘dude’ ringing in our ears, the morning sun could have easily been shining over Santa Monica or Venice, California, but we were actually seated at a restaurant thousands of miles south on the Pacific coast in small beach town called San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.

This weekly series focuses on budget accommodation gems we discover while on the road. This week: Hostel Cabinas El Pueblo in Santa Elena / Monteverde, Costa Rica.

After our first sloth encounter in Monteverde, Costa Rica, we were fascinated by these funny-looking creatures and decided to pop into the brand new sloth sanctuary for a visit to learn more about these creepy-cute Costa Rican animals.

La Fortuna should not be missed on a visit to Costa Rica- a gorgeous waterfall, hot springs and a volcano, plus some of the country’s most beautiful scenery!

Our Polaroid of the Week this week: The long way up – the climb up Cerro Negro volcano outside of Leon, Nicaragua before we lava-boarded down.

Do not not read this on an empty stomach! This is a Globetrottergirls Ode to the Pupusa, by far the best street food in El Salvador.
