Christa Jimenez

Christa is the voice behind Pura Vida Moms, a trusted family travel resource that has helped thousands of parents discover Costa Rica through honest advice, real experiences, and practical planning support. As a mom herself, Christa understands that family travel is about much more than booking hotels and activities — it’s about creating meaningful experiences while keeping things realistic and manageable for parents. Over the years, Christa has explored Costa Rica with her own family, discovering what truly works for traveling families: destinations with the right pace, activities kids genuinely enjoy, and experiences that create lasting memories without feeling overwhelming. Through Pura Vida Moms, Christa has built a community around helping families travel smarter and with more confidence. She knows that every family travels differently and believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach. That shared philosophy is what brought Pura Vida Moms and Costa Rica for Kids together. Christa’s family-tested recommendations combined with Costa Rica for Kids' local expertise create journeys designed around what real families actually want: adventure, wildlife, beach time, flexibility, and stress-free travel. When Christa isn’t helping families plan their Costa Rica adventures, she’s spending time with her own family, exploring new places, and continuing her mission of helping parents feel excited — not overwhelmed about travel.
