Costa Rica Costa of Living Udate: COVID-19 Test—$120
Get Me Out-a-Here Syndrome is a combination of disorders that include but are not limited to:
- Glancing around and wondering how you accumulated so much stuff
- Imagining palm trees while staring out your window
- Desire to sit in a hammock all-day
- Wanting to walk out your front door and never look back
If you suffer from any of the above, The Costa Rica Escape Manual, 2021 edition is the road map to your escape. You’ll learn about residency, buying a car, crime, and funny things about living as an expat. You’ll also find out why I hate the guy who gave a glorious five-star Amazon review of a blanket while giving a less charitable assessment of my work. My dad hates him too.
The Costa Rica Escape Manual doesn’t have any unpleasant side effects. It’s a happier book for people looking for a happier life. Everything from taxes to national park regulations is up to date.
Some exciting developments are a proposed digital nomad bill that will make it easier for telecommuters to live here on a temporary visa. Another is a projected change to import costs so that you can move your belongings here without getting clipped on thousands of dollars in taxes. And get this… it includes a car. Anyone who has bought a vehicle in Costa Rica knows that this may be one of the biggest game-changers.
We’ve all been through a lot over the past twelve months. So much has changed, and there continues to be a sense of unease about the future. But it may also be the green light you’ve been waiting for. Sometimes it takes facing the ultimate challenge to make the biggest change. Getting out of your comfort zone is one of the hardest things to do. But it’s incredible how alive you feel after the first step. A little nauseating as well, but alive, nonetheless.
Is it easier living here than anywhere else? No. But I can attest that the sounds of howler monkeys and lavender sunsets calm my racing mind. And it makes me daydream.
That may be the biggest side effect of The Costa Rica Escape Manual. You’ll daydream again but this time with a road map to the monkeys, the hammocks, and the crazy, psychedelic sunsets. Your daydream is a seed taking root. It’s just a matter of time before it cracks the surface.
Keep your dream alive, and thank you for allowing me to help. It’s been the pleasure of my life.
Good to keep in touch, we will see you again Nadine and Rob. Our first experience of Costa Rica was at the Happier House after reading your books.
It’s great to have found your books and blog. We are new real estate owners in Playa Langosta and are spending 3 months here working and studying virtually and so far, best decision ever!
