About me

Hi! I’m from Costa Rica and I’m new to this amazing community of women travelers. My home is open to all girls who would like to visit and discover my country. I’ll be happy to host you and even take you out for a night walk in the city, a coffee, lunch, dinner, or any fun activity. I also dream of traveling the world and would love the chance to stay with some of you in your countries. Most importantly, I’m open to building beautiful friendships with women from all around the globe. 🌍✨

About me

Hi! I love exploring new cultures and destinations. I have a particular interest in Europe, and I’m planning trips to Italy, Hungary, and various other European countries. I enjoy immersing myself in the local history and cuisine, and I'm always up for an adventure. I believe that the best way to experience a place is through the eyes of a local. I'm here to meet new people, share stories, and create memorable experiences. Whether it's a chat over coffee, exploring hidden gems, or simply enjoying good company, I'm excited to connect with fellow travelers and hosts.

About me

I like it chill and peaceful. The perfect day in Costa Rica for me would be visiting a national parc, later rent 2 kayaks and spot some animals and in the evening grab cold drinks and enjoy the sunset preferably at the ocean :D

Is San José safe for women?

San Jose is safe in certain areas but definitely not all areas. Please check local crime and news and with local sources about where to go and where not to. There are places in the city I wound up in now knowing the train/bus system and definitely was glad I had my boyfriend with me

Try not to carry many things of value like laptops or iPads. If you visibly look a foreigner (wearing travel gear and carrying backpacks) I'd be specially careful, try to travel as light as possible. If you are visiting the more touristic and transited sites of San José, I'd say the city is relatively safe to walk through up til 7-8 pm but after that I'd be careful, specially since some zones are more dangerous than others, mostly in terms of robbery. You should be mindful of your surroundings ALWAYS, if someone stops you in the street trying to talk to you out of nowhere, thread with caution. If you are looking to experience the nightlife, depending on the club you go to, you might need to keep a close watch on your phone and wallet.
