Southwest airlines’ flight to Liberia from Baltimore is coming in November 2015.  It will add to an already impressive list of direct flights from major airports in the US.  Southwest has already announced they will be flying directly into Liberia from Houston starting in October 2015.  Alaska Airlines is also adding a direct flight into Liberia from Los Angeles starting November 1st, 2015

Is Costa Rica Safe?

I get this question probably more often than any other question, and I understand why.  Safety is a big concern and it should be. Compared to the USA, Canada and other big countries Costa Rica has very little serious crime.  Like any city or country, there are good parts and not so good parts, so it depends also a lot on where you live.  San Jose is a major city with over 3 Million people.   Anytime you have that many people in one place there will be crime.  But statistically violent crime is very low in Costa Rica; it is usually what they call property crime or crime of opportunity.  I hate when they use the term Petty Theft, because when someone steals your $1,000 laptop that isn’t petty.
