I moved to Costa Rica from San Diego 8 years ago. I am retired military and later sold my small business to put things in order to make this transition with clarity. Never had been to CR, but the adventure of taking this new direction was something that made me feel totally alive. My family was very supportive in my decision and we have all worked toward supporting my decision. I met the love of my life (a professor at the National University of CR) When I made the decision to move here, I did not have all the details...and then...the magic presented itself. No regrets...I love my life here.

I actually live in Costa Rica and one of the biggest advantages here is that you do not need a car. Public transportation goes everywhere. Also the rent here is low compared to the U.S. My first apartment was $160 a month in a shared living space. I recommend it but try to find a job before you come. Lots of call center jobs.

great video Sarah, I admire your story about moving to Costa Rica without a real plan and that everything seems to be working out well. My wife and I are currently in our 7th year of a 5 year plan to move from Canada to Costa Rica. Lots of planning involved, lots of stumbling blocks (as we are currently building a home from 4000 miles away,) and then the pandemic..Hoping that our plan will be fully executed in March of 2021! Keep up with the great work with your youtube videos, facebook posts, etc. I will certainly be checking out your blog as well.

"How I made a boring video with no info at all", unless you consider the tip "if you're moving to CR make sure you tell your family and boss" useful

Hi Sarah, nice vid. I have a couple questions that you might be able to answer for me. 1) How did you find your first place to live? 2) What did you do about a vehicle? 3) Would you be willing to be a source of information or contact for people who are interested in moving to CR? 4) I will be relying on my retirement check to get me by until I settle in, then maybe find a side gig. Can I find a financial institution to transfer my retirement checks to once I arrive? Great job and good luck to you! You are a brave woman to have made such a drastic move! Hope to hear from you! Thanks! 😎

I would highly highly recommend people visit Costa Rica a few times if considering relocating. I think you can get into big trouble if you haven’t visited a number of times and gotten to know what it’s like to actually living there.
