Today I met a financial planner who has made it, is truly successful. She owns a bed and breakfast in Costa Rica at the age of 50. The idea of financial planning in Toronto and escaping to Costa Rica (a 5 hr direct flight) is intriguing. How did she do it? From scratch: found a builder, found property, architect, photos, ... and did it! This was extremely adventurous since she doesnt speak Spanish and Costa Rican builders dont speak English (in general!). Anne's travelled a lot and Costa Rica stood out as a good location. Health care is good and dentists are American trained!. Teeth cleaning is $10! A dinner out is $7 with wine. Never met anyone that didnt love it. There are also lizards, iguanas and howler monkeys and white faced monkeys, anteaters, sloths, snakes. A tarantula visits everyday. Tarantulas mate for life. Dont squish them. You are making someone really miserable if you do!
Incredible adventure Anne. Anne M. Thomson on Facebook. annemthomson@yahoo.ca
