Scottish

British-Irish actor Dominic "Dom" Monaghan
(47), are
visiting Costa Rica. Boyd
and Monaghan are best known for their
performances as Peregrin "Pippin" Took and
Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck in Peter
Jackson's epic film trilogy The Lord of
the Rings (2001–2003). According
to public records from the General
Directorate of Migration, both actors
entered the country on Thursday, November
7. Billy
and Dom fans in Costa Rica shared photos
on social media of the two actors enjoying
their visits to several tourist locations
in the Pura Vida country, including Nicoya
Canton in Guanacaste Province and Central
Avenue in downtown San José, to name a
few. Both
actors are currently filming a new program
called "Billy
and Dom Eat the World," a
cuisine and travel series produced by
British production firm Dash Pictures.
According to the
film company, in the series both actors and
real-life best friends "have now traveled
the globe on a string of exciting
adventures discovering fascinating food
and quirky secrets in six very different
and special locations." They launched a
podcast called "The Friendship
Onion" in 2021, which is available on
their YouTube channel. Boyd and Monaghan
are some of many celebrities who have
vacationed in Costa Rica. Recently, Victor "Wemby"

Spurs of the National Basketball
Association (NBA) spent his vacations

representing a 13.5% increase over the
same period in 2023. The country reported
a new tourism record reached in 2023,
with more than 2,4 million travelers.
