Book introduction...
I've been blogging about Costa Rica for many years now. I did write
one little eBook some time ago, called 100 Cool Things to Do in Costa
Rica. I give it away to signups on my vacation site.
Not too long ago a little light bulb appeared above my head in the
form of an idea. And that idea was to write this book. The purpose was
and is to give practical information about making the transition to life
in this foreign country. It's also to give readers some personal
reflections about how living as a Costa Rica expat for almost 16 years
has really impacted my life.
The decision to pull up roots and head for a new life in some
foreign and exotic land is not an easy one. It is one that can be risky,
to say the least. Unless you do some homework beforehand, you could be
in for some unwelcome surprises. Surprises that might send you packing
for home with your tail tucked. I don't want to see that happen to you.
Life as a Costa Rica expat can be a real joy. Oh sure, there will
be annoyances and inconveniences. You have to learn to just laugh
through them and roll with the punches. I hate to sound so cliche, but
you really have to learn to go with a different sort of flow down here.
One that flows quite a bit slower than what you're probably used to. And
with dips and turns you probably weren't expecting.
The Definitive Guide to Costa Rica Expat Living is written
as a "heads up" for you. I hope you enjoy it. But, more importantly, I
hope it serves you in finding true joy as a Costa Rica expat.
