Zara Rutherford , a 19-year-old girl who flies alone around the world in an ultralight plane called Shark, arrived in Costa Rica this past Tuesday. This young woman of Belgian origin arrived at 8:57 a.m. to the Tobías Bolaños International Airport , in Pavas, where she was received by a water arch from the Fire Department units, as well as the station personnel and representatives of other institutions. She arrived from Panama.
Since last August 18th, she took off in her plane alone, without any companion, to complete the first stage of her trip around the world, in which she hopes to visit at least 52 countries and five continents. Zara's goal is to break the record held by Afghan-American Shaesta Waiz, who circumnavigated the globe alone in 2017 in her 30s.
