There's a certain rhythm to life in the tropics that goes far beyond the postcard images. Viva Tropical is the sound of that rhythm, hosted by Josh Linnes, whose own story began with a surfboard and a one-way ticket to Costa Rica decades ago. This isn't a travel brochure; it's a deep dive into the realities, cultures, and unexpected lessons learned from fully embracing a life under the sun. Josh brings the perspective of someone who has built businesses, navigated real estate from Costa Rica to Panama, and even co-purchased an island, all while staying grounded in the authentic pulse of the region. Each episode feels like a conversation with a well-seasoned friend, one who is as at home in a dugout canoe as on a yacht. You'll hear explorations of local societies, alternative approaches to health and fitness shaped by the environment, and candid discussions about what it truly means to integrate into a new place. The Viva Tropical podcast is an ongoing chronicle of a lifestyle built by choice, full of practical wisdom and compelling stories for anyone who has ever felt the pull of warmer latitudes or simply wonders how a different landscape can reshape a life.
