SHORT TIME LIVING IN COSTA RICA
I've always said that being a prisoner does not always mean being in jail, It's just a matter of doing something that you don't enjoy or that you don't feel passion for every day of your life.

Highs & Lows
If you're looking for the best beaches... you have to travel to Costa Rica
It's an expensive country, although you can find cheap places to enjoy!
Itinerary Overview
My first stop after my decision was Costa Rica, which is a country that I have a lot of affection for because it taught me not to depend on a job because I wanted to continue my trip for a long time.
It has amazing beaches, people is very warm and lovable as well as willing to help if you need something, or to show you the beauty of their culture and country.
Gastronomy is not their strength but anyway to can find good places you can find several places mostly in downtown San Jose or the big cities.
Q & A
What would you have changed?
My trip to the border with Panama, I didn't like that place, it as odd and the people in the migration building is not friendly at all
Anything go wrong during the trip?
Actually no, everything was perfect!! Costa Rica is a place that I felt very comfortable with!
How was the food?
definitely "La Estacion" in San Jose, I was a customer and also an employee and both experiences were fantastic!
What tips would you give a friend?
try to find the cheap mini markets in china town to save money because the country is expensive
Packing tips?
It depends on what is the idea that you have about traveling, in my case I always try to carry as little as I can because that saves me a lot of money in the airports because most of the time airlines let you have 2 handbags in the cabin of the plane so you can save the money that you would have paid to check your bags if they're too heavy
Transportation Tips?
from the airport to Downtown San Jose the public transportation is very safe, comfortable and cheap because the price is 660 colones which is $1.20
Any surprises?
None
Booking details?
I always recommend using www.booking.com because they a genius plan that allows you to have better discounts and nice hostels
Lodging
I stayed in Alajuela Backpackers when I arrived at the country because the airport is very close and the night life is very interesting.
I stayed at Costa Rica Backpackers which is a fantastic hostel with a pool in the middle of the property with a bar inside, also people are very friendly and always willing to help.
I stayed at Blue Sunshine Hostel, very comfortable in the average of the hostels close to the beach
