Trip overview

If you’re looking for paradise on Earth, Costa Rica is the perfect place to start!

With nearly 30% of the country designated as protected nature areas, you won’t have to go far to experience the breathtaking wildlife that’s made it famous.

Twelve different ecosystems are packed between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, making this a nature lover's paradise like no other!

Whether you want to relax in a laid-back surf town or immerse yourself in unparalleled natural beauty, Costa Rica is the place for you.

This is Digital Nomad Costa Rica. And if this sounds like a dream, it’s time to wake up and turn it into your reality.

The truth is, travelling while working remotely can be quite tricky, especially if you don’t know what facilities are available before you set off on your adventure.

But if you go with Global, we’ll give you everything you need to keep your business thriving while exploring your dream destination, including:

  • Comfortable accommodation – Your included accommodation is a single bed in a 6-bunk dorm room. Each bed comes with a power outlet, storage shelf, A/C, lockable luggage storage, and a shared bathroom. If you prefer more privacy, various room upgrades are available for an additional fee.
  • Return airport transfer – Direct transfers to your accommodation upon arrival and back to Tamarindo or Liberia Airport when it’s time to depart.
  • Dedicated co-working space with high-speed Wi-Fi – Enjoy access to a co-working space with reliable internet. Because working from the couch is no way to build your empire!
  • 2 weekly yoga classes – To keep you flexible and ready for those long days exploring your natural surroundings.
  • Local Community Manager – Your local contact to uncover Costa Rica’s hidden gems and provide support whenever you need it. They’ll also organise daily community events to help you connect with fellow nomads and explore your new home.
  • And much more!

Working remotely while travelling can be hit or miss. Unreliable WiFi and “dedicated work spaces” that barely fit a laptop can be quite stressful for digital nomads.

It’s hard to enjoy your trip when you’re stressed about getting work done. Let us handle the important details, so you can work hard while also enjoying every minute of your time in Costa Rica!

The motto of Costa Rica is “Pura Vida” – literally the “simple/good life”. When your days are filled with unforgettable adventures through pristine jungles or lounging on world-class beaches, you’ll know all about Pura Vida.

When you book with Global, you book with the best. Our team will help you with all the essentials to kick off your journey, starting by setting you up for a call with our trip partner to ensure your remote working lifestyle aligns with this trip.

But don’t worry—if you have a remote job, an open mind, and a desire to expand your network while exploring the world, you’ll fit right in!

Trip details

Imagine waking up to a beautiful sunrise in the laid-back surf town of Playa Grande. What will it be this morning? A surf, a walk on the beach, or a hike through the jungle? Whatever you fancy, Costa Rica offers some of the best nature experiences around.

There's no need to rush. The atmosphere here is wonderfully relaxed, and enjoying life is the top priority. When you're ready to work, you’ll have access to a comfortable co-working space with high-speed WiFi and plenty of tables.

But you’re not just here to work. You’ll be immersed in the beauty of Costa Rica through daily community events organised by your local Community Manager to suit the schedules of you and your fellow digital nomads. This is how you get to experience the real hidden gems you won’t find online.

And as you explore, you’ll grow into the most interesting version of yourself—someone with stories of unimaginable adventures in one of the wildest places on Earth.

Requirements 

To qualify for this trip, you must be between the ages of 18 and 70 and eligible for visa-free entry into Costa Rica. Prior to acceptance, you are required to complete a vetting call with our partner to ensure you are a suitable fit for the trip.

Please note that this trip does not include remote job finding or job placement services; you must already have a remote job secured to participate.

What extra costs will I have?

Flights, travel insurance, meals, souvenirs & spending money.

Accommodation

When it comes to accommodation, you’ve got options. 

Dorm Room (included in the price) – Only 6 available! 

You’ll get a single bunk bed in a 6-bunk dorm room shared with your fellow nomads. Each bed has a power outlet and a storage shelf. All dorms have air-conditioning, lockable storage lockers for luggage, and a large shared bathroom. 

Micro Room (+$800) 

If you prefer your own space at an affordable price, upgrade to a private Micro Room with access to a large shared bathroom.

King Room (+$2,055) 

For the best of the best, these spacious King Rooms come with one king or 2 twin beds, a large work desk with an office chair, and an en-suite bathroom. 

Your accommodation is in an exclusive boutique hotel designed specifically for digital nomads. This unique setting combines the community atmosphere of a hostel with the luxuries of a boutique hotel.

The hotel features a private pool and a dedicated co-working space for your convenience.

Additionally, there’s a beer garden open to the public—an ideal spot to connect with locals and fellow travellers after a day of working and exploring the area.

Trip itinerary

Before you leave

We will arrange a call for you with our trip partner to help them get to know you better and ensure this trip is a great fit for you. Our trip partner focuses on fostering a positive and collaborative environment for a community of like-minded, hard-working professionals, and this call is an important first step. Once accepted, we will confirm your accommodation, airport pick-up, and any additional add-ons before you depart.

Day 1-21

Since this trip is quite flexible, we can't provide a specific itinerary. Each week is different, but your on-site Community Manager will curate a weekly plan of events for you and your fellow digital nomads based on your work schedules.  This schedule will incorporate your regular working hours, fitness activities, and daily community events, which may include jungle treks, surf lessons, waterfall hikes, and more, depending on your location. You’ll also enjoy two yoga classes per week as part of your schedule. On weekends, you can join fellow travellers on optional off-site excursions at an additional cost. These could include any nature-based adventure activities you could think of like sunset cruises or zip lining through the jungle.  Once your trip is over, you can choose to stay in Costa Rica to explore the surrounding areas or link up with your new travel crew to go on a Central American adventure.  Whatever you choose to do, we can help make it easy.  We’ll be in touch with you throughout your stay. If you ever need advice or support our team is available to answer your questions. And our 24 hours a day, Monday–Friday emergency support line will help with urgent matters.  Don’t go alone. Go with Global.

Are flights & insurance included?

While we would love to include flights and insurance in our trip packages, it is not feasible to have a fixed price due to the diverse destinations, trip durations, and individual coverage needs of our travellers from around the globe. However, once you register for the trip, we will assign you a dedicated Travel Concierge. They will work closely with you to arrange the ideal flights and insurance tailored to your specific adventure. Rest assured, our team is here to ensure you have a smooth and hassle-free travel experience from start to finish!

Why should I book now?

After the last unexpected disruption to travel caused by the..c word..people are now more eager than ever to venture out and explore the world, determined not to miss out on any experiences. Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12+ months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free. As a Global Traveller you’ll get exclusive access to gWorld, our personalised app where you can keep all of your important documents and trip details in one spot and gain insider access to everything Global. This is where you will find exclusive Marketplace Deals, a unique social network to connect you with other like-minded Global Travellers, access to our Academy with an ever-growing range of skills & languages, and so much more. Think all of your favourite apps merged into one, but like, better? Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!

Can I travel with a friend or partner?

Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together! But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join. And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!

Can I bring my pet along?

At Global Work & Travel, we share a deep love for animals and fully understand the special bond you have with your pet. We recognise the challenges of embarking on a trip without them. Due to travel restrictions, requirements, and limited pet-friendly accommodations among our host organisations, we regretfully cannot facilitate their inclusion in the journey. However, many of our customers choose to entrust their pets to a family member or friend, embark on their adventure, and return home to wagging tails and furry cuddles.

What happens if I need to cancel my trip?

We know that life can get in the way of travel, so all our trips come with a great deal of flexibility. In most cases, if you cannot travel on your selected date, you can place your trip on hold to deal with whatever is holding you back, and continue in the future without incurring any penalty. You may also have the option of transferring to an entirely different trip and destination as well, or even transferring your trip to a friend or family member. In the event that you need to outright cancel your trip, if you give us 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put toward any other trip that we offer, including tours through third-party providers, as well as holidays through DealsAway.com, and is valid for 2 years from date of issue. As international travel can be complex, your options are based on the progress of your trip organisation and our support team can assist you in finding the best solution for your needs.
