10 tips for staying safe in CR

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.
