The latest book in the Rich Coast Collection, Moving to Costa Rica Simplified, isn’t merely a manual filled with superficial fluff; it’s a companion for anyone seeking a profound change, providing not just the logistics of moving and settling in, but rather a guide to a transformative journey.
Knowing the essentials, the pros and cons, is a good start for the experiences that lie ahead… but what do you do when the unexpected happens, a dark cloud hovers and the rose-colored glasses come off?
Dive deep into the reality of living in Costa Rica: from adjusting to a new way of life, to finding community, to understanding the many do’s and don’ts in order to avoid unfortunate cultural mishaps. Sharing personal anecdotes, the author turns her missteps and mistakes into valuable lessons for anyone thinking of calling Costa Rica home.
In the end, it’s more than just a destination to move to. It’s wildheartedly living every moment of the journey that takes you there, welcoming each new day with a curious mind and an open heart.
