Into the jungle 🌴

Case study from Costa Rica

Please excuse this low effort newsletter, SOS is in the jungles of Costa Rica this week, observing the behaviors and customs of some of your favorite influencers and personalities. (Previous newsletters here)

The frontier:

Upon landing in Santa Teresa, the SOS map was completely blank, and I had no idea where to eat lunch or procure the fresh organic fruit that everyone raves about.

After a day or so of walking around town and pumping rusty iron at the lifeguard gym, I was recognized by a friend in town and clued into the team at Brekkie, the only vocally seed-oil free restaurant for miles.

SOS is nothing without restaurants and restaurant owners. Brekkie is a beacon of great ingredients in a tourist town full of seed oils 🫡

It took me a few minutes to file a report, and I also emailed a few other local spots and was pleasantly surprised at their options. ST is now a safe place for thousands of scouts.

What’s missing:

For SOS to be the ultimate guide to healthy traveling, it probably also needs to support the best produce shops, butchers, and r*w dairy sources around the globe.

We’ll think about how to balance this without being overwhelming, so that the next scout in Santa Teresa heads directly to Green World, instead of Super Ronny #2

This place had a grassfed butcher in the back of it believe it or not.

If you have any other ideas let us know 🫡
