Country Name: Costa Rica
Where Do I sleep?
Free camping at local campgrounds cost me between $7 usd and $10 usd. I also camped in the national parks in the north for free.
What Does It Cost?
Shockingly pricey if you have just come from the cheaper surrounding countries. Groceries will cost between $10-$20 daily.
Tips To Keep It Cheap, Safe, Fun
Tip 1:
Avoid cities where free camping is not possible! I cycled and pushed my bike around Liberia though a national park on a trail for 2 days, after a river crossing, I emerged back on the main Pan-Americana highway heading towards Nicaragua.
Tip 2:
Warm Showers, the hospitality network is becoming more available. There are hosts in Tamarinda and some of the larger communities.
Tip 3:
Eat ice cream cones, it is cheap ($1 USD) filling and oh so much fun.
