Hi there fellow Expats.
Me and my Dad are in the process of moving our lives to Tamarindo, Costa Rica.
in the 1970's my dad sailed to Costa Rica and fell in love with the people and the landscape and ever since dreamed of one day retiring there.
About fifteen years ago my dad bought a large beautiful hillside with really no idea what to do with it. Over the course of the next 15 years we, like so many other Americans before us struggled to get the project off the ground trying to do it from the U.S.
All we were able to accomplish was the building of a small “Treehouse” home on the top of the hill with water and power.
Now, 15 years later we have decided to move down and try and start a life and make my dads dream of living in Costa Rica a reality. Needless to say we have a long and tough road ahead of us. The problem is we have no network or community of people and we are completely out of our depth.
As a non-local down in Costa Rica, we have experienced the difficulty of trying to get a project off the ground and just make life work for us down there. Is there any advice anyone could give me on how to network or reach out to Ex Pats that are or have been in a similar situations?
