Solo travel is one of those things that people are either intimidated by or wholeheartedly embrace. Even though I fall into the latter category-I do it multiple times every month-I still find traveling alone as a woman requires research, thorough preparation, and a constant sense of awareness. Some pretrip nonnegotiables for me include downloading maps to use offline, carrying a fully charged portable power bank, and sharing my location with my friends and family.

"The security alert, issued on Nov. 25, tells Americans to be aware of "recent property crimes, financial crimes, and robberies that have impacted foreigners in Costa Rica, including U.S. citizens." "Tourists have reported break-ins and armed robberies at Airbnbs and other rental properties," the embassy wrote. "Criminal gangs have targeted foreign-owned businesses and residences for crimes that included robberies, break-ins, and extortion."

The vast majority of Costa Rica's radio and television stations are at risk of having to stop broadcasting, after failing to meet the requirements of a spectrum auction ordered by the government of Rodrigo Chaves.

But dozens of stations announced that they were unable to submit a bid before the Friday midnight deadline set by the authorities for the process.

Last year, I did something that I never thought I would do in a million years: I lost my passport while traveling abroad. To make matters worse, I was traveling solo. My flight home was in two days, and I couldn't remember the last time I had seen it after leaving the airport. To set the scene for you, I had been spending the weekend staying in a gorgeous open-air villa at Origins Lodge, a luxury mountainside ecolodge nestled between dense Costa Rican rainforest.

By night, spectral bats leave their roost and swoop through the tree canopy of Costa Rica, wings outstretched as far as three feet wide, in search of prey: unsuspecting mice and rats, birds called motmots, even other bats. Sometimes, after they snag something good, they will fly back home with the doomed victim in their stalactite teeth and willingly give up a meal to another bat inside the roost. At the end of the day, the world's largest carnivorous bat is a rather cooperative creature.

Xanthism has been observed in a few fish species but never documented in cartilaginous fish, which includes sharks, rays, and skates, in the Caribbean.

This Tuesday night, agents of the Penitentiary Police of Pococi prison managed to rescue a kitten that was carrying two packages of drug stuck to its body.
