I just found this video. And I, too, am looking to take my first solo trip at 42 to Costa Rica. Your smile and energy made me feel excited about planning this trip. You truly are a badass for doing this. 👏
I'm so proud of you !! No panic attack !! You are finding that inner strength and it has to be so empowering !!! Happy Birthday tomorrow !!! Have a blast and be safe!! Thanks for sharing with us !!! Love you !!!
You made it! I'm so excited for you. Your story about the woman with the Uber reminded me of my first time traveling alone. I got off the plane in Dublin and had to get to my hostel. I was going to take an airport shuttle but these two guys stopped me and told me the bus was way cheaper. They were these really chill guys (one was only wearing socks - it was more funny than odd) who had just come back from a spiritual retreat. I hopped on the bus, they told me where to get off, and I was on my way! There's something so freeing about doing it yourself, even when you ask others to help you do it yourself! Happy early birthday! I hope you have the most wonderful day tomorrow and share a bit about what you get up to!
It’s amazing traveling alone and just relying on just yourself instead of letting the other person become a crutch and not having to think at all, just follow their lead. I traveled by myself quit often ( many years ago ) and always felt so empowered. 👏👍🏻.
Ive been wanting to do something similar for my 30th this year and Costa Rica has always been on my mind for my first Central America trip excluding Mexico. I think im gonna do it!!
Happy belated Birthday and it’s great to see you enjoying yourself, and hope really have a great time. I’m excited to see your next video in Costa Rica.
I was on my way to the USA stuck in Japan for 3 days., after a night at the airport. I walked to the train station. Walked up to a dad and his daughter. They were from England so we had a lot in common. They were in Japan for one day sight seeing. I asked if i could tag along bought them lunch and walked around Tokyo for the day. It was a fun day.
Love to hear that you are having a great time and coming out of your comfort zone. Have a Fantastic time, looking forward to hearing more of your trip / adventure. Hoping your birthday was a good one. Stay Safe.
Wow good on you and Happy Birthday I am sure you will meet some nice people on your travels, I look forward to following your holidays have fun beautiful girl xxx
I need to apologize Jess, I’ve been off UA-cam for 4plus months and your channel was one of my most watched, I had no idea about the break up, I am so sorry 😢, im with you girl, I wish you all the best in your new adventures, talk soon ❤️❤️❤️
Happy happy birthday to you!!! You've got this girl! I'm so supper happy for you. When things are hard just remind yourself that this coming year will be a first on everything you will do.
Yet again, another video that kept me smiling the entire way through! It looks and sounds like your very first solo trip ever is proving to be an incredible adventure! I can ONLY imagine how much leg work goes into pulling off a trip like this - without incident (especially a solo trip, where every little detail is the responsibility of YOU and only YOU) getting from point A to point B, ensuring that every 'i' is dotted and every 't' is crossed... WHEW! Just thinking about it all is wearing me out, but if anybody can do it - then you can, no doubt!! I'm really looking forward to hearing and SEEING more from your trip, and thank you for continuing to keep us posted, Jessa! ❤❤
Man, you are a "bad ass". I was breathing right along with you in the begining of the video where you were mulling over your pre-trip check list. It was making me go over my pre-trip checklist for my first solo trip of any cosequence and that isn't until May. I will take from this video that things will work out, and it just takes a little bravery to keep moving forward. Happy Birthday.
I’m so happy for you!!! You are not the same women you were 3 months ago. You have furriest!! You give me so much inspiration to hold onto to my own identity. Happy Birthday !!
Wow your amazing to travel alone to Costa Rica.Don’t think I would have it in me to travel by myself so far.Your amazing and stronger then you think.Cannot wait to see how your journey unfolds.
Way to go Jessa, you look so radiant and happy, I'm so pleased for you. Its your birthday enjoy your adventure and a happy day to you beautiful lady xxx much love from the UK
Yaaaayyyyyy, last minute trips are so exciting……the best. I’m very much a spur of the moment traveler. I love the “Howdy” sign on the wing ! We’ve been dreaming of going to Costa Rica, and watching your video makes me just want to get on a plane and get there. You go girl!!!
I love Costa Rica too 🇨🇷 as born and raised here please listen to my advise, come and enjoy but be careful, we are not different from other countries and crime is a thing here specially if you are from another country. Don't trust too much, don't tell people you are traveling alone and where are you staying, please be careful, I have been to different countries and I know how vulnerable we can be, stay safe and happy birthday 🥰
@@bbrenesg crime will find the vulnerable. I live in Albuquerque, where crime rate is high. You just have to be smart about where and when you go out. If you go out in the high crime area, late at night, yes, it’s way more likely that you’ll be in danger.
How exciting! I was supposed to go to Costa Rica years ago but unfortunately ended up cancelling the trip (long boring story) and have yet to get there. Happy Birthday Jessica! Have fun!
I really do admire the way you live your life now on your own. It is so easy to relie on someone else, and now you have to fill in everything for yourself. Can be nice, can be difficult. Happy 30th birthday and greetings from Holland.
I hope 🤞 you have a great time and stay safe in your travels also wishing you a happy birthday you seem a little nervous but also excited have a great time for yourself 🥰
I’m not gonna lie, I’m sad about everything going on in your life being a long time watcher, this hit from left field, I love you both , and wish you both the best,but I’m team Jess and I’m here for you my friend ❤️❤️❤️
What a great video. 👍. Yep, you are a badass. 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The world is yours to explore. Go get it all, Jessa. 🌎 What a magical way to celebrate your birthday. Well done. 🎂🥂
We are proud of you that you faced your fears and did it by yourself. Thats how you grow. Im sure the puppies miss you, but they are probably having a good time wherever they are. 8)
Yay💜.I would not missed this vlog..we are not too old to try something new😍. I am so happy for you jess,😘.You have grown so much..Take it slow and enjoy every bit of it😊😊.Im just so happy for you.cant help it..Happiest Birthday my Dear Friend🎉🎂🥂.Cheers for a much better Life ahead💚😘.
Sometimes the best adventures are not planned. Just wake up one day and say "i'm gonna this" and then doit! You dont need anyone to be happy, you're better off if you can be happy by yourself.
I highly recommend you spend your birthday at Tabacon resort for the day. I promise you, it must have been Adam & Eve's (Ava&Eve) backyard. It's heavenly. Ziplines are everywhere and are exhilarating. Tamarindo is a very artsy hippy town I think you would enjoy the towns vibe. Enjoy your journey and Happy Birthday 🎉🎈🎊🎂
well done Jessa, empowered indeed! more power to you! really enjoy your well deserved holiday and wishing a most audacious birthday. make some friends if you can, but above all keep safe I'll be thinking of you in the warm and sunshine from a cold but bright Kent, England 💘🥰🤗😘🥶
I just found this video. And I, too, am looking to take my first solo trip at 42 to Costa Rica. Your smile and energy made me feel excited about planning this trip. You truly are a badass for doing this. 👏

Your positivity inspires me!!!

Spread your wings and fly girl, FLY!!!!
Happy belated Birthday and it’s great to see you enjoying yourself, and hope really have a great time. I’m excited to see your next video in Costa Rica.
Hi! I was just wondering how safe did you feel here as a solo female traveller, and what was San Jose airport like?
I was on my way to the USA stuck in Japan for 3 days., after a night at the airport. I walked to the train station. Walked up to a dad and his daughter. They were from England so we had a lot in common. They were in Japan for one day sight seeing. I asked if i could tag along bought them lunch and walked around Tokyo for the day. It was a fun day.
Happy B-day, Jessa!!!
Love to hear that you are having a great time and coming out of your comfort zone. Have a Fantastic time, looking forward to hearing more of your trip / adventure. Hoping your birthday was a good one. Stay Safe.
You made it! Cahuita, Limon is a super cool place to check out. Happy birthday! 🎂
You better go girl!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Happy birthday 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
