I have never taken the time to write to everyone and really explain why the big decision to move to Costa Rica was made. I have taken the time to explain it to a few, but basically I have kept quiet about what I have been up too.
One thing you will notice on your travels in Costa Rica is the fact that Costa Rican people offer assistance very willingly.
