Happy New Year!
Despite the month, the weather's been absurdly warm in Ithaca. Instead of wrapping up pilot logistics and marketing strategies, we've been tackling outdoor home-improvement projects. We need to rent out our office, the first Make-It Home prototype, before we can head down to South America.
And I went kite-boarding at Playa Copal in Costa Rica, scoping out a plausible pilot location. It was a great beach, a superb spot for a chill workation. But the internet needs an upgrade, and its a bit too remote for month-stay travelers. Another downside, from the perspective of an immersive work-and-travel experience, is the lack of a local community. It was a kitesurfer hangout, tucked between a few big resorts. The nearest real Costa Rican town was 40 bumpy minutes away.
