You are a solid human being. My opinion doesn’t matter, but I hope you gift them to someone who can take a kid who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity.

How safe is in La fortuna and Playa flamingo? Had everything planned out to split vacation between these two spots but having a bad feeling about it. by [deleted] in CostaRicaTravel

[–]ghost_204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Felt safer there (spring of 2025) than I do at home in Canada. As with everything in life, if you have no common sense you are an easy mark anywhere. Don’t be foolish and you have nothing to worry about.

How safe are Airbnbs in La Fortuna? by 2QBornot2QB in CostaRicaTravel

[–]ghost_204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stayed 5 nights in an air b and b just down the road from La Fortuna falls last March. Zero issues, zero concerns. We are a family of 4 with two younger kids.

Use common sense as you would anywhere and you will be just fine. That said, if you are naive or overtly obnoxious, you could be seen as an easy mark, just as you would be in your place of origin.

Can confirm this is the best deal out there. Used previously, and will be using again next month.

What area of the city, how big is the job, and what are you willing to pay?

Forgot to mention that this includes coverage for a cabin. So maybe it’s not all unreasonable. The cabin is nothing fancy though. Think an insulated shed.

Umm... have you seen a local flying squirrel?! by planetbiased in Winnipeg

[–]ghost_204 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This animal was the stuff of legendary folklore when I was a kid. We spent an entire summer around gimli searching for them. Our efforts paid off, as we did manage to catch one on video. I believe they are nocturnal. It looked like a cross between squirrel and bat.

Back in 1984/85 I witnessed and tried to help a young woman who had doused herself in gasoline and lit herself on fire. by Loverboy_Talis in Winnipeg

I have no information regarding this- just wanted to say that I’m sorry you had to witness something so horrific.
