I decided to create a blog page so you can easily find great blogs about moving to Costa Rica and retire in Costa Rica written by people who are going through the experience of becoming and being an expat in Costa Rica.
Just last week, at a party, I heard newcomers say that there is so much information around now, they don’t know which one is right and which one is wrong.
Nothing in life is perfect and moving to Costa Rica won’t make it perfect either unless you work really hard at it. Doing your due diligence and reading about mistakes others have made will make you less a possible victim to the same mistakes. Not only are my own blogs full of information, real stories and up to date information, I’d like to share these real interesting blogs from people who write them to be shared.
My Blogs are not only meant to advertise Costa Rica real estate but also to try to inform you about hundreds of topics that will interest you if you are one of those doing your diligence to see if Costa Rica is the right country for you or not. Promoting the blogs below is part of that task.
