Typical Costa Rica Travelers

I’m sitting here at the airport gate here in Atlanta. I’m about to fly back to Costa Rica and I’ve basically realized there are only a few types of people who go to Costa Rica.

1. Packs of 19 year old American girls
2. Shady-looking middle age males who are probably involved in sportsbooks
3. Über granola outdoorsy types. As I type I can see two guys who are dressed in outfits clearly bought, in entirety, at REI. They’re also eating trail mix and, obviously, traveling with backpacks.
4. Every flight there are a couple token people actually from Costa Rica. Not too many though.

That’s pretty much it.

I thought for sure you were going to say the shady-looking middle age males were looking for 19 year-old girls.

That’s possible. There are definitely guys who travel down to CR just for the cheap hookers.

I’d set the over under at like 4… maybe 5.

@H,

You are a combo granola/19 y/o girl-type. Even though you aren’t 19.

You forgot high school soccer teams. I don’t remember my last flight down here without one…
