Solo in Costa Rica: My Adventure as a Wedding Guest in Manuel Antonio

I was flattered to be invited to my friend Meghna's wedding in Costa Rica, but a bit unsure about traveling internationally by myself. Turns out, I'm built for solo travel! From hiking to waterfalls with strangers-turned-friends to watching dolphins from a catamaran, this trip proved that attending a destination wedding alone can be the perfect mix of celebration and personal adventure. Plus, the universe had a surprise in store - this Little Rock jewelry artist somehow ended up touring a gold museum and jeweler's studio in San Jose. Kismet? Magic? Whatever it was, I'm grateful for every moment of this Pura Vida experience.
