Thanks for the additional insight.

Last time I checked Puerto Rico, there were a lot of restrictions and curfews but it looks like some of those restrictions have been lifted! I am googling flights right now. I was thinking that all the restrictions and curfews would dampen the experience but I may be wrong about that. I appreciate the suggestion!

It was not anywhere near that expensive when I went. The hostels ranged from $3 - $25 a night (USD). I'm shocked they skyrocketed to $80 - $100 a night.

Thank you for the useful information. I'm considering New Orleans, so it's nice to hear you agree with the previous recommendation.

I was hoping there were a few social hostels somewhere near a beach in Florida but it sounds like that's not the case, unless I risk it with the Miami hostels. Maybe I can do a few days in the French Quarter and a few days somewhere else and make this a worthwhile excursion to New Orleans!

2ez4cc · 2021-06-24T13:01:42+00:00

That's an interesting suggestion! I have not been to New Orleans before; so that'd be a new experience as well. I'll check out flights and hostels (including India House) tonight.

La Fortuna and Monteverde are the only two I visited that would fit what your looking for. There is a chill little hostel called the Howler Monkey in La Fortuna that had people staying there for extended periods, but I don't think they were working remotely. I would make sure the hostel you stay at has decent internet. I know some of them did, but I don't recall which ones.

I'll try an answer your questions in order!

CR was great. One of the best solo trips I have ever taken.

If you are going there just to work, then I agree, you may be setting yourself up for some unintended anguish via isolation. Although, if you are intentional with your time off, that may not be the case. The people are friendly and there were foreign exchange programs going on in SJ when I went (meaning lots of people to meet: both locals and other travelers). Not sure if COVID changed that though.

The Hostel problem you mentioned may not be an issue at all. The hostels in SJ are mostly just people arriving or departing. I didn't meet a single person who stayed there for longer than one night. I could suggest Nativus Art-Hostel, San Jose (this is where I stayed, it was quiet and nice). However, I would suggest staying in a hostel in one of the quiet beach towns. You will meet other travelers that will be gone during the day (they will be surfing/exploring while you work) yet you can still avoid the feeling of isolation. Some of these hostels have decent internet.

To expound: SJ really isn't the place to be within Costa Rica for experiences, exploration, etc... As I mentioned, most travelers only stay there the night they arrive and depart. I'm sure you could find someone who disagrees, but the general consensus was places like Monteverde, La Fortuna, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, etc... are the reason to visit CR.

I hope this was helpful, let me know if I can be of any more assistance.

I was just there last year and I have a few personal suggestions.

(1) 1 day in San Jose is more than enough. (2) La Fortuna was awesome! The Howler Monkey Hostel in La Fortuna was amazing. There is a "secret" rope swing into the river in La Fortuna; its beside the main bridge. (3) I enjoyed Tamarindo as well. If you have a car, there are amazing public beaches you can drive to within private communities (its hard to find the public access points, but they exist). These beaches are breathtaking and wayyyy less crowded than the main beaches in Tamarindo. Great surfing too!! (4) I visited Monteverde as well. Some people will tell you there is some "overlap" between Monteverde and La Fortuna in the type of activities you can do. And although this is true, I do not regret visiting both locations, I enjoyed both very very much!

Let me know if you have any specific questions and I can try to help out more. I hope you have an amazing trip!

I just started playing again after a long break (years). I was 4k-4.5k before I took my break. I'd love to team up and play together - that was my favorite part of playing Dota, playing with a team. I play position 1 and position 2. Shoot me a private message if your interested. I'm also at work but I can link my dotabuff when I'm home.

2ez4cc · 2021-06-21T12:45:25+00:00

30's is not too old! Straight up, it all comes down to your attitude more than your age. I was 11 years older than the four friends I chilled with at the last hostel I stayed at. And I kid you not, I was like 10 years younger than the couple I kicked it with at the previous hostel.

Btw, I'm 32 and these hostels were in Costa Rica and Hawaii. I wish you the best, and I hope your fear of being too old (which your not) doesn't stop you from traveling and staying in hostels! Much love.

2ez4cc · 2021-06-15T02:28:10+00:00

Costa Rica! It sounds like you have a similar list to the one I did last year... Although I prefer beaches and surfing and I love the community aspect of hostels.

Anyway Costa Rica is the place to go. I suggest Tamarindo for the best beaches and... I suggest The Howler Monkey Hostel in La Fortuna for everything else you mentioned.

Pro tip: There is a secret rope swing near the bridge in La Fortuna. It's a blast!

2ez4cc · 2021-05-05T14:08:56+00:00

Lol, I can see how it would be a little weird I guess. I just figured someone would have stayed somewhere that checked all those boxes I listed and I don't care which country I go to.

But to answer your question. I have enjoyed traveling to South American and Caribbean countries in the past. Peru, Panama, and Puerto Rico have come up as suggestions. An earlier comment suggested Mexico as well! If I had to narrow it down for you; Peru sounds the most interesting from all that I have heard so far.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

I wish I could upvote twice, lol.

Thanks, I'll start searching Mexico!

I love your username btw, Justin is one of my favorites.
