I really like to travel and exchange cultures. I live near the airport and I would be happy to help female travelers, picking them up at the airport. Also children no longer live at home, there Is space in my home. I have had exchange girls from Germany and Denmark for one year. A wonderful experience.

San José, Solo travel
I really didn’t like San Jose at all. Especially traveling solo as a woman. I was assaulted because i was wearing a non gold, but golden necklace. My neck was scratched open and I was pushed to the ground in plain daylight, in the middle of a busy street. The police was standing next to me and didn’t even react. In General I was catcalled a lot, I felt I was being observed and followed and avoided going out. I’m sure that there are nicer areas than the ones I was in but I really had no good time. BE CAREFUL ALWAYS! and don’t wear any jewelry!

Costa Rica, Solo travel
Costa Rica was a breeze as a solo traveler. Catching taxis or ubers has been very easy and the taxi drivers were always nice and ready to provide advice on safety or just chat. I never took public transport, just shuttles. But they make it super easy to do (although it is of course more expensive). The only place that felt a bit sketchy was San Jose as you are easily spotted as a tourist and outside of the main streets it felt a bit unsafe mostly for the lack of people.
