About the host
Hosted by Phil Tierney
Now retired, as an Episcopal priest for the past 40 years, I have served as a university chaplain at Georgetown University and Virginia Tech and as a chaplain at the Foxcroft and Madeira Schools. I have served parishes in Canada, England, Massachusetts, Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. I have taught courses at Virginia Theological Seminary and Dartmouth College. I am author of "Theocracy: Can Democracy survive Fundamentalism" and "The Rise of the Red Dragon." I lecture at the Osher Institute at Dartmouth. I volunteer with various community and charitable organizations and am politically active for the well-being of the environment.
Why they chose this property
Casa Libre is uniquely positioned to view the Pacific Ocean and the hills around it. It is privately and securely situated amidst the jungle of the Nicoya Penninsula in Costa Rica. It is at the same time refined and rural, secluded and yet close to two of the most beautiful and highly prized beaches on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Surrounded by forests and the calls of monkeys and parrots, it is nonetheless very close to the active nightlife of Playa Samara. It is a place of natural peace, simple splendor and balance.
What makes this property unique
Secluded and very private without being remote. Sun, trees, hills, seas, wildlife, close enough to vibrant sea sports and night-life, yet exceptionally peaceful and secluded. Plenty of wildlife neighbors, including: monkeys, hummingbirds, birds of all sorts (paraketes, macaus and toucans included), coatis, iguanas, foxes, varigated squirrels, butterflies galour, and many other species.
