I booked a trip to New Zealand and I'm traveling alone. I'm nervous but excited to learn about myself over the course of the trip. Plus I get to do whatever I want so that's always a plus

I would follow "the flight deal" on Facebook and Twitter. They post super cheap airfares from your home airport to all over the world...following them is how I got round trip from LAX-Auckland for $250 add $100 for my splurge to get economy plus. Trip of a lifetime. It will probably cost me more to get to From ORD to LAX (I'm chi based)

Agreed, indulge your impulsiveness when traveling alone - if you feel like walking over there, do it. If you feel like a cava afternoon, cava deeply. You can still plan beforehand and read / talk about local tips during the trip.

If you wait until your friends have enough time and money to accompany you, you may miss out on the big adventures that are CRITICAL to take in your twenties. Go for it--you'll never regret it. I've been to 9 countries "flying solo" and am soooo glad I pushed through the fear and awkwardness!

Traveling by yourself is the best. Stick to hostels as it's easier to meet people who are also looking for other people. Also freedom to do whatever you want. No negotiating with someone else on what to do next. I just went to South America and it was a blast.

It's their rainy season so keep that in mind D5. Otherwise yay

D5, Costa Rica is amazing, definitely yay. If you go to Arenal, there's a wonderful hostel to stay at there for like $15-$25 a night. Lots of fun activities everywhere - hikes, white water rafting, nature walks, ziplining, snorkeling, hot springs, etc. And the food is awesome.

I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?
