I love a white Christmas, but the holidays on an island are unlike anything else.

Hey everyone,

Like yet another person planning a winter getaway, I’m debating between Puerto Rico and Costa Rica. I’m looking for a mix of relaxation and nature-based sightseeing.

I’m prioritizing:

• Lounging at a beautiful resort
• Rainforests ad waterfalls
• General local charm
• Wildlife

I was leaning toward La Fortuna / Arenal in Costa Rica, but I'm worried about it being difficult to travel across the country. Is it a wasted opportunity to stick to one specific area? I also love the idea of seeing Old San Juan and the bioluminescent bays, but I've read that beaches in San Juan area aren't that spectacular. Should I look elsewhere? Any ideas?

Help me make this decision so I can stop obsessing over trip itineraries! Thanks in advance!

I’ve recently moved to a tropical climate. And wondering how everyone manages food storage. Do you put everything in the fridge but very dry stuff like rice and pasta? Bread molds, fruits ripen within a day or two and some random stuff left out gets assaulted by ants or geckos.

Hey everyone! My boyfriend and I are heading off on a tropical vacation soon, and I want to plan some fun outfits for us. We’re both tall and have brown skin, and I’d love some recommendations on color combinations that would look great in a tropical setting.

Any ideas or inspiration would be super appreciated! Thanks so much in advance! 😊

I simply love this place. It's the closest i ever got to the tropics, but it certainly feels like the center of the world 🌍
