He shared that one of his first priorities upon arriving was to enjoy a classic plate of gallo pinto, a dish he considers a cornerstone of Costa Rican identity. Looking ahead, he also expressed a keen interest in exploring the country’s famous landscapes, hoping to visit some of its stunning mountain waterfalls and resorts.

I was dying to eat gallo pinto, and I did it first thing in the morning. Whoever doesn’t know how to make gallo pinto isn’t Costa Rican. I want to see some waterfalls or resorts in the mountains. The best moments I have lived in Costa Rica.
