Refill Trip, started by Danny and Brooke Stull, launched in 2024 but it's been orchestrated behind the scenes for over 2 decades. God listened to our desires and He has been working behind the scenes. Here are a few details...
2002: Danny ventured to Costa Rica for the first time and fell in love with the country. Since that trip, he has wanted to spend more and more time there.
2005: Danny worked at JH Ranch in Northern California as a river guide and met Dan Price.
2010 & 2013: Danny took a couple trips to Nicaragua. Once with friends, once with Brooke. At this time in life, Danny couldn't afford to go to Costa Rica so he traveled to Nicaragua.
2013-2023: Danny and Brooke met in 2013, got married in 2015 and started having kids in 2017. Danny also started another company during this time. With a business to run and 4 kids to raise, the Costa Rica dream seemed to become more of a pipe dream than anything else.
2023: Danny attends a fly fishing trip to Wyoming called Refuge. Danny left that trip feeling super inspired to create something like Refuge but in Costa Rica.
Late 2023: Danny is searching for homes down in Costa Rica (because he's a crazy dreamer). Danny thought he found an interesting place but wanted to get a second opinion. He had kept in touch with Dan Price over the years and knew that Dan and his wife, Trisha, had a place down there. Dan connected Danny with his real estate management company in CR (this was in December 2023). After talking with this group, they told Danny to come down to Jaco and check it out.
February 2024: Danny and Brooke take their 4 boys (at the time 18 months, 3 years, 4 years and 6 years old) down to Jaco, Costa Rica and FELL IN LOVE with the place.
2024: Danny and Brooke decide to make the dream a reality and launch Refill Trip, LLC so more and more people can experience Jaco and have their cups refilled.
Thank you for checking us out. We're excited to see what God does with this adventure. Below are a few pictures from the very first trip Danny and Brooke to Jaco, Costa Rica.
