Anyone thinking of moving to Costa Rica?

However, I can highly recommend the best way to know you are making the right decision. That is to take the Christopher Howard Combination Life Style Tour . In eight days you will visit the southern beaches and the Central Valley, visit with people who live there and talk to expats. The tour also includes 2 full days with the ARCR (Association of Residents of Costa Rica). There are many speakers from Costa Rica who will enlighten you about everything you need to know.

I would also recommend you read Christopher Howard’s book about living in Costa Rica — The New Golden Door to retirement and Living in Costa Rica — the official guide to relocation.  I read the book before I arrived for the Combination Tour. It is exactly what you need to know about all aspects of living and securing residency in Costa Rica. 

One other aspect related to Christopher’s knowledge of Costa Rica. Over a period of 3 months of research once we registered for the tour, I complied three or four pages of very specific questions for Christopher . While we drove with him, had lunch and dinner with him, etc. he answered every one of my questions. 

Once we completed the tour, we had all the knowledge we needed to decide to relocate to Costa Rica. We are now in the process of handling all the aspects we need to from the United States before we move in two months. I am following and executing the plan of what I learned from Christopher himself as well as his book. 

The Combination Lifestyle Tour is a must for anyone considering Costa Rica as a place to live.
