>>1041730Most backpackers are in their mid-20s anyways except for Europe where it seems like a younger crowd cause people assume its a safer destination.

>>1041714Costa Rica is fantastic. It's very safe, the safest country in the region. The people there are not as poor as those in the neighbouring countries so there isn't that huge disparity between you and them. I think a lot of them just love living there cause the weather is always nice, the food is good, people are happy...
Costs are a bit higher than other countries in the region. I've been to Mexico and Panama as well and found both of those to be slightly cheaper. If you only eat local food like I did the usual dinner plate will cost you around $5-8, but if you go out to tourist restaurants it will be $15-20. Local food is good, not outstanding like Mexican but very tasty.
Can't help with visa, I only stayed for 3 weeks so I didn't have to get one as a tourist. I'm sure workaway would help you with that.
