Couldn’t have done it without the tour

My name is Steven Goins and I have been living  in a beachfront apartment at Jaco Beach, Costa Rica for almost a year.

 

My saga began a few years ago when I decided to retire in Costa Rica after hearing so many wonderful things about the country. I spent over two years  and hundreds of hours on-line while I did my research and due diligence on the country. When all was said and done, I came to the conclusion that Christopher Howard’s Relocation/Retirement tour was the perfect introduction to the country and the only way to go.

 

I knew in my heart that Costa Rica was beckoning me and didn’t want to waste any time. So, I decided that I was going to move there right after Christopher’s tour ended. I called Christopher toll-free from the States and  told him about my game plan. He recommended that I should check out the country first before making the big move. I told him that my mind was made up and I was moving there immediately after the tour finished. 

 

I chose to take Christopher’s 8-day Combination  Pacific Beach and Central Valley Tour because it is the most complete one he offers and provides the best picture of the country. It turned out to be just what I needed and by far exceeded my expectations. I could have never seen all of the areas we visited and gained the information and insight that I got from this all-encompassing tour. 

 

I am visually impaired and Christopher and his staff went the extra mile to help me with all of my specific needs. In fact, everyone in my tour group was pleased with the personalized attention they received, Christopher’s professionalism and felt they got  their money’s worth and more from the tour. 

 

More important was that all of us concluded that we could have never done a tour like the one Christopher provides on our own. He was so accommodating that he even let me store 12 suitcases at his home while I got settled and looked for a permanent place to live. He then had all of my luggage delivered to me in Jaco Beach. Before I forget, he also helped my find my apartment through his contacts.

 

As I mentioned at the beginning I am presently living happily in Costa Rica and don’t regret the move for one moment. I have truly found my own slice of paradise and watch beautiful sunsets every day of the year from my apartment. For me Costa Rica is an oasis of sanity in this crazy world.

 

Thank you Christopher for making it all possible.

 

¡pura vida!
