San jose COSTA RICA! help? |
My close friend and I are traveling to San Jose Costa Rica for three weeks, living with a host family for speaks Spanish (we don't speak any) We are going on an abroad volunteer program so we will spend our days working in orphanages etc, but nights and weekends are free for us to go about and explore. Kasie and I are the youngest in the group (both just turning 17 before we leave in July) and I was told not to expect group traveling, normally the volunteers are in their 26's and don't plan to travel around with everyone else in their spare time...
ive been reading so much saying its dangerous in san jose ect and now im freaking out a little!!
how bad is it? what do we need to look at for, where should and shouldnt we go...and what about us wondering around exploring the night life....help? |

hey jules...
i understand about those books and stuff
it is dangerous but, san jose is a big city like any where else
you may get mugged or jumped but only in some areas
i go to san jose once a while to clubs and bars around it and thats different
but when you travel at night, do it on taxi
don't go walking, unless some one that you trust and knows san jose areas.
just be aware and be careful, it may happened here or any where in the world
also don't wear any jewelery and the money, try not to show it on the public
i use to work as a tour guide here and i really understand lots of things about that
when i go to different places and tourist are around...
and i see weird things around? i give them advices
lots of times is when they pay for something like the ferry fare or at a local store, they open there wallet and get all money out
i understand that most of them don't get the currency fast, but try to use only like 10 000 colones (that is like $20) on you, thats enough to eat and travel ok. the rest keep it some where else
is just a few things you need to know so you can have a good time here
take care |

Costa Rica is not dangerous, but San Jose downtown in the night... well its the exception of that, well there's nothing to worry but i think you need to know someone that speak spanish if you really want to go to some place, because here's the people don't speak english xD well also the tourist are some targets for the bad persons xD well you see someone that don't speak spanish and don't look that they're from here well are perfect to steal their things xD well but don't freak Just don't go to dangerous places, i think your host family will tell you what precautions you will need and things like that!! ;) I have live in Costa Rica all my life and i have never been robed or things like that, and also it is said that Costa Rica is the safest country of Latin america so don't worry ;) |
