About JeffeTico Tours

    JeffeTico Tours is a small business in Mays Landing, New Jersey that offers online classes in Spanish, customized tours of Costa Rica and virtual tours of your business on Google Maps using 360 degree photography. Recently, JeffeTico Tours has managed an AirBnB in Costa Rica called Villa Tiquicia. Come visit!

   JeffeTico Tours is owned and operated by, me, Jeff Forney. I grew up in rural US in an area with a lot of migrant workers. My natural interest in people and languages started me on the road to learning Spanish from my Mexican neighbors.

   I studied Spanish Education in college and did my student teaching in Quito, Ecuador at the Colegio Americano de Quito. I began my Master's Degree in Spanish at the Universidad de Costa Rica while living with a Costa Rican family. Thus was born my love of Costa Rica.

   For 32 years, I taught Spanish at Oakcrest High School, Stockton University and to adults at the Ocean City Free Public Library in New Jersey. See my resumé.

   JeffeTico Tours began as a hobby. One year, I offered to pick up some of my library students at the San José airport and show them around Costa Rica. We had such a good time, I decided to retire from teaching and make this my main job. Hey, somebody has to do it!

   Send me an email or fill out my contact form or click the chat button in the bottom right corner if you're interested in tutoring, virtual tours or a personal, customized tour with me as your full time travel companion and driver in Costa Rica.

   I hope to hear from you,

Jeff Forney

A retired Spanish teacher from the United States, I now teach Spanish online and take people on tours of Costa Rica. Having studied at the Universidad de Costa Rica and lived with a host family, I gained a lot of knowledge about the culture, language and the sites to see.  I want to share that experience (see resume) with people who may want to travel, but who don't know how to begin. It's like traveling with a local who speaks English and Spanish!  You don't have to speak Spanish to travel with me, but it can enhance your experience. If you don't know any when we start, you will when we're done. Careful though; I might wear you out with fun!
