Be Careful Driving in Costa Rica

View/Add Comments (0 Comments) |

Driving in Costa Rica can be very dangerous. Even on paved highways, keep an eye out for axle-breaking potholes. Additionally, be extra cautious when approaching curves as many drivers pass on blind curves. Slow down and be prepared to brake hard at every sight-limited curve. It could save your life.

I'm on my third career in life that of being voluntarily unemployed! The first two were house construction and later hi-tech as a software engineer. I was fortunate to be able to retire early in Costa Rica back in '07. With my wife and younger son we bought land and built a dream house with that million-dollar view you hear so much about. We spend time raising coffee, bananas, and fruit trees. My wife is an accomplished artist and has discovered new media to express herself here including beautiful ceramic mosaics. Pura vida! P.S. Now, in 2021, planning our next move ... to México!
