Event Costs
General living costs in Costa Rica can be lower than in the U.S. (local goods) or higher (anything imported). Dinner, including drinks, in a prime beach location is about the same as Denny’s or Applebees in the U.S.
Go vs. Stay Costs
♦ Some costs will be brand new (airline tickets, rentals, excursions, cabs)
♦ Some costs are similar to expenses at home (food, drink, entertainment)
♦ Some costs will remain regardless (mortgage, car payment, insurance)
♦ Some costs will disappear (gas…)
Rentals of anything are the cheapest by the week or month. The same goes for other rentals like a scooter, motorcycle, or car.
Flights
Look at flights as quickly as possible, as they can fill up fast. Fly into San Jose airport (vs Liberia airport).
Lodging
The CCC in CR event is being hosted at Selina hostels/hotels. The best pricing is for two weeks or one month as one might expect.
Budget Example
There is no event adimission cost for the 2025 event. You simply cover your own expenses.
I have secured a tremendous monthly room rate that works well even if you stay a few weeks. It includes all coworking access and other privileges. We will have meals and enjoy entertainment and activities together, stay in the same hotels, and get to know each other better.
This is a simple first-month budget for the trip based on a standard room. These are good ideas for the value-minded, cost-conscious traveler. This is MY budget for Month 1 of the trip. Months 2 and 3 are less expensive, with no airfare.
