Which location would you choose?

On May 31, 2011, we arrived in Costa Rica. I was working on this crossword puzzle on the airplane and kept it as a souvenir.


We have lived here for nine years and have never regretted our decision to move to Costa Rica. We’ve made lots of friends, both Costa Rican and expats from all over the world. Everything is so good - the weather, the Costa Ricans, the beauty of the countryside - my list would be endless.

To move to a foreign country sight unseen is a challenge, but a good one. We have learned so much - although our Spanish is, shall we say, una pequeña cantidad de español. But we try which is what counts. We did a lot of on line research once we decided to take this leap in life. And joined many, many expat groups. We recently received our permanent residency status.

Don’t live your life in a rut!
