Jon is an American who lives with his family in the Costa Rican capital of San Jose, a cosmopolitan city with superb restaurants, cultural attractions, and a busy nightlife. When he isn’t at sea, he relaxes and enjoys the weather and the local culture with his family in their home. The warmth and friendliness of the Ticos (locals), the good weather, and other aspects of the “pura vida” in Costa Rica are what Jon loves about the place.
