About Me
I’m from Costa Rica, my favorite thing to do is traveling and getting to know new places and new people. I am a vegetarian, love running and dancing. I love animals and have actually volunteered for some animal rescuing organizations in CR. I usually travel with friends or family, but sometimes travel alone too. When traveling by myself, I like making new friends, go for a cup of coffee or a movie with someone from the city I am visiting

Overall pretty safe, the food towns are nice and nightlife is fun. Selina is a good hostel to stay for sure. Usually a place used to bounce around different locations in the rest of the country. But still fun!
