Hello! My name is Donna Roy and I am looking for some travel buddies for a trip to Costa Rica later this year, in August or September. I am 65 years old, and do have some mobility issues as I need to rely on trekking poles when out and about. My interests include birdwatching, nature, taking short walks and hikes, exploring new cuisines, and visiting countries like Costa Rica that strive for a zero or negative carbon footprint. Volunteering at a sloth sanctuary, watching sea turtle migration, touring an organic coffee farm, and bioluminescence kayaking also pique my interest. Staying at a villa with ocean views and animals nearby is very appealing.
 
Check out local senior centers or community boards for potential travel buddies. Also, try connecting with local nature groups who might share your interests in eco-friendly trips.

Hi Donna! Your itinerary sounds like a wonderful way to experience Costa Rica, especially if you enjoy wildlife, nature, and slower-paced adventures. Since you're looking for travel buddies, you might also have good luck checking communities like Women Welcome Women World Wide (5W), Travelling Ladies, Meetup (for travel groups), or Facebook Groups such as Solo Female Travelers, Travel Ladies, or Costa Rica travel groups. If you're open to small group travel, companies like Road Scholar and Overseas Adventure Travel (O.A.T.) also attract travelers in your age group who enjoy nature, culture, and relaxed itineraries.

And if your plans bring you toward the Guanacaste coast, you may want to look around Playa Flamingo as well. It’s a beautiful area with ocean views, nature nearby, great restaurants, and a calmer coastal pace. There are also long-term rental options in the area, including villas and condos at Marina Flamingo with ocean views, which could be a nice home base if you want comfort, wildlife, and easy access to beaches and day trips.

Wishing you the best in finding great travel companions—it sounds like an unforgettable trip is in the making!
