Costa Rica Blue Book

Do YOU Want To Live In Costa Rica?

"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Moving to Costa Rica is simple. Start by visiting the expat blogs listed in the right column (you probably have to scroll down - look for Costa Rica Expats). All these people did it, my family included (www.abroadincostarica.com).

Join the Costa Rica Living Group online. Read the archives. Ask questions. Make yourself known.

Make a list of pros and cons. Talk yourself out of the cons ("San Jose is only a 2-hour flight from most major cities.") Justify the pros ("See? Only a 2-hour flight to visit!")

Start letting go. Start packing. Set a moving date. If you've dreamed it, you can do it. Join us.
