Cats and Coconut Oil in Costa Rica is more than a travel memoir. It’s a story of wanderlust, wild places, and the quiet search for a place that truly feels like home.
Woven with humour, vulnerability, and a touch of stubborn magic, it follows a restless peace-seeker who spent over two decades rescuing animals until the pull of something different carried her across oceans and into the jungle.
Along the way, there are misadventures and magic: stormy boat rides, curious wildlife, unexpected encounters, and moments as absurd as they are unforgettable. But beneath it all runs a quieter thread—an inner pull toward freedom, simplicity, and a life that finally fits. Again and again, that pull leads her back to Costa Rica.
In the heat and humming green of the jungle, life begins to shift. What starts as a seasonal escape slowly unfolds into something deeper: a new rhythm, a new way of living, and a growing sense of belonging.
Cats and Coconut Oil in Costa Rica is a love letter to the untamed, the unexpected, and the unwavering call of wanderlust. For travellers, dreamers, and animal lovers, it’s a reminder that sometimes the life you’re searching for is the one quietly waiting for you to choose it.
