The post today lists 10 “legitimate” risks of Costa Rica travel, along with Costa Rica Guy’s 10 tips for staying safe in Costa Rica…
1. Getting Robbed – keep your sh** with you (or at least within eye site if you’re a fast runner) and if renting a car, don’t leave anything in the car…anywhere…since valuables in a rental car are to a thief in Costa Rica like a bleeding (in the ocean) Peter Benchley is to a Great White Shark…
2. Getting Robbed by a Hooker – don’t pay for sex….
3. Dengue – OFF works!
4. Getting Swept Away by a Landslide – duck, dodge and … dodge…
5. Drowning in the Ocean – don’t swim in it (at least not past knee deep)…
6. Getting Eaten by a Croc – go for the eyes!
7. Catching Food Poisoning – smell first…
8. Drinking Bad Water – don’t go to Mexico either immediately before or after your visit…
9. Getting Arrested – obey the law (at least in public)…
10. Having an Awkward Communication Moment (aka, an “ACM”) – learn to say “can you speak English” in Spanish (WTF?)…
There you have it, Costa Rica Guy’s 10 Tips for staying safe in Costa Rica.
