Hello,
I'm a 25/f wanting to travel from Mexico to Costa Rica the first 3 weeks of November. I'm wondering how safe it would be to go alone since I don't know of anyone who could get the time off work to go with me. I'm a bit scared since I've never traveled outside the US, but I'm up for an adventure of backpacking and taking a bus down while seeing the jungles & ruins in Belize & Guatemala etc. It would be great if I could find a travel partner. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

A visit to my sister in Costa Rica (CR) is overdue. I would love to experience all of Central America starting in Cuba or Mexico. While travelling alone is always risky, one needs four or more eyes, I see no current warnings for the region except Colombia which is much further south. I will keep an eye out on info the next few months, sounds like a very interesting trip.
