Hey friends,
I went to Costa Rica this summer by myself and had the time of my life! Come along on my adventure with me and see all the places I visited and the fun activities I did. I can definitely say I do not regret going solo and I felt safe the entire time. =)

Agreed! If you want to do something, you cant always wait for others. I am planning a trip to CR. (which is how I found your video) Trying to get friends to come with me is proving to be difficult with matching everyone's schedules. Might have to go solo like you! Thanks for the inspiration

My pleasure! I know that feeling of trying to schedule a trip with friends. It almost never happened. But its ok because you can always make friends out there!

I agree I have the same issue. Ironically that’s how I came to see this video. A friend of mine wants to go to Hawaii… but I want to go to Costa Ricaaaaaa. You like you are a lot of fun to be around. So glad you enjoyed your stay.

This vid is so helpful as I plan my solo trip to CR! It’s adding to my courage to just do it! Two questions - what type of tripod did your use? And when you switched hotels - checkout at 11 / next 3p check out. How did you fill that time?

@NatashaWitt 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! My gimbal came with a small tripod that I use a lot. Otherwise I did buy a basic tripod that came with a selfie remote. I only used it once. Also, I always drop off my luggage early at the hotel if my room isn’t ready and I can’t check in. I then just go hang at the beach!

Loved this video, it looked so fun! I am going to CR by myself in July but I’d be staying 4.5 weeks… i am feeling super nervous about the costs though as I am seeing more and more that it is expensive (esp when you travel solo!) debating on whether I should just do 2 wks there and 2 wks in Guatemala to balance. How long did you stay and did you feel like prices were quite high? Thank you ❤ will check out your other videos 😊

@NatashaWitt Жыл бұрын

I definitely didn’t find CR to be a cheap travel destination! So yes, I do think I would’ve spent a lot if I stayed for a month or longer. I’m sure there’s always a way to cut costs like staying in hostels, etc.

I did a 30 day solo backpacking trip in Costa Rica and did city buses as well as private buses/vans. I also stayed in some beautiful hostels bkzfaq.info/get/bejne/gM93fsh23d-yaas.html

@NatashaWitt 2 жыл бұрын

My pleasure! I booked directly with Sansa Airlines online for the mini plane ride. I think I just googled private drivers in Tamarindo and I emailed a few different options. Morpho Vans was the quickest and most professional in my opinion. They did not disappoint me at all. The hotels take me awhile to book because I look at every option on every site possible and I compare hotels vs airbnb's. I probably use Airbnb and Tripadvisor the most for my accommodations. =)

@NatashaWitt 2 жыл бұрын

I definitely spent more than I needed to. The flight was cheap but everything else, not so much besides a few places to eat. Hiring a private driver was probably the most expensive thing I budgeted for but I could’ve rented a car for half the price. The first hotel I stayed at was also half the cost of the second hotel I stayed at. All in all, Costa Rica wasn’t too expensive and you can definitely enjoy it for way less than what I spent 😊
