About Sarah Mayo

Sarah is no stranger to travel – a natural curiosity about the world inspired her to pursue a degree in tourism. She studied in France, China, Dubai, and Oman, and toured countless other countries before becoming a Costa Rica Expert. With an interest in ecotourism (she worked at one of the first LEED certified hotels in the US!), it is no surprise that she fell in love with green Costa Rica. “In all of my studies and travels, I have never before been to such a friendly, welcoming country. It’s truly refreshing,” she says of her experience traveling in Costa Rica. In fact, she was married in Costa Rica at Arenal Volcano in 2016. Connect with Sarah on Instagram and LinkedIn.
