Hello friends! EventswithDakota is headed to Costa Rica to run a photo adventure in the gorgeous area of Manuel Antonio! This event will be a collaboration between EventswithDakota (Dakota Lee) and Astrid Adventures (Astrid Kallsen). Costa Rica is one of my (Dakota) favorite places in the world! Also: for the first time ever, we are creating an event specifically for female photographers! I’ve wanted to run a women only event for quite some time, and i’m so excited to finally get the chance!

The food and coffee in Costa Rica are amazing, the people are friendly, exploring is safe and fairly easy (with a good SUV!), the beaches and jungle are stunning! There are waterfalls and blue water, rainforests, and so much more to explore! Costa Rica is hailed as one of the most safe, welcoming and incredibly beautiful areas of Central America. The people are kind, the food is amazing, and the weather is enjoyable all year round- even in the summertime!

Dakota and Astrid are hosting a 5 day getaway for 4 photographers in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica from July 15th to the 19th. Please be prepared to pack light and do some hiking.
