Manuel Antonio National Park is my favorite national park in Costa Rica. There are some things I recommend you know before visiting to ensure you have a good time. See them below.
GUIDE TO MANUEL ANTONIO NATIONAL PARK
ONE NIGHT IN KRABI TOWN
After a great time in the town of Pai in North Thailand, it was time to go explore the Andaman Sea, so my friend and photographer Sofia and myself decided to head to Ko Phi Phi. It was a long travel day, we were picked up at our hotel in Pai at 9:30 and after a 4 hour bus and a plane we got into Krabi Airport at around 18:00.
From Krabi Airport to Krabi Town
I tried to research online what the best and cheapest way from Krabi Airport into Krabi Town, and it just wasn’t clear enough so here it goes after having lived it myself. Krabi Airport is around 14km away from Krabi Town. Taxis have a fixed fee of 500 baht – so expensive! However there is a cheaper, and fast enough option to Krabi Town: the shuttle bus. It’s 90 baht per person, and it takes you to your hotel. You just need to wait for little bit until the bus gets full, once there you tell the organiser which hotel you are going to. The bus drives into town, it stops in a tour agency and then a songthaew takes you to your hotel. I think overall it takes around 30 to 40 mins door to door.
BUDAPEST BUCKET LIST
Budapest is such an amazing city, and the really good news is that you can do lots in Budapest with only a couple of days. Find in this post the best things to do in Budapest. I also include what to eat, where to drink, what to see, and how to make the most out of your Budapest trip.

Relax in the thermal baths
The thermal baths were an absolute plus of my visit to Budapest. I really wasn’t expecting this super relaxing attraction. Szechenyi is the most popular thermal batch as it does the best pictures, followed by Gellert & Rudas. Szechenyi & Gellert get really busy so I recommend booking in advance. I leave you skip the line tickets here: Szechenyi – Gellert. A local also recommended me Kiraly bath, although I didn’t go.
VISITING RYE & CAMBER SANDS BEACH
Rye, in East Sussex, is one of England’s best kept secrets. It’s got the charm and beauty to match England’s most popular spots, but somehow it’s escaped a huge influx of visitors. Located between green rolling hills and the English Channel it’s one of the best-preserved medieval towns in England. You won’t fail to be enchanted by a town where time seems to have passed by. You’ll find unique shops, historic pubs and local restaurants instead of chain stores and tacky tourist attractions. There are beach walks, ancient inns and even a castle. All this, and more, makes Rye the perfect place for a relaxing weekend break.
Camber Sands is a sandy beach near Rye. It is the only sand dune system in East Sussex and if you are visiting Rye in summer, it makes sense to maybe spend one of two days relaxing at the beach.
In this post I’ll detail everything there is to do in the area, how to get there, where to stay and also how much time I suggest you to visit for.
