Today I am sitting down for another live coffee shop interview with the one and only Marina de Almenara Martinez, who is part of my favorite Coffee Shop in Costa Rica called Corazon Surf Cafe. She shares her experience growing up in Playa Negra, going to Culinary School, and meeting her partner. Having grown up in Playa Negra in the 90s, Marina gives a firsthand account of the changes in the area throughout her lifetime, how her connection to her culture was strengthened by cuisine, and why love unites everything at the end of the day.
