Costa Rica ~ Considering the Possibilities

My husband and I are considering the possibility of purchasing land in Costa Rica. I would have never thought of such a thing only a few short years ago. But now, after traveling more extensively - most recently to South America and Panama - it's become clear to me that there is so much out there in there world yet to experience.

In the process of researching Costa Rica and her regions, I've come across some great people - expats or expatriots - who have moved there from all over the world, including the U.S. It's enlightening to hear what they say about the process of moving there...and staying there. Particularly with children. And PARTICULARLY if Spanish is not your strong point (it's not yet for me.)

One of the intriguing people I've met via her website blog Mother Jungle is Susan, a single mother of two. Mother Jungle has just been recognized by GlobalPost.com as one of the best blog sites not only in Costa Rica, but the world. Why? Because Susan dishes out reality with a heart, not just a window.
