I will be talking to you weekly about what is happening in Costa Rica.
Lets Talk about Weather
Living in Florida, I was already accustomed to warm weather, but found the winter months too chilly for my taste. I wanted perfection. I found a country that met both my requirements for entrepreneurial spirit and perfect weather, Costa Rica fits the criteria.
I was raised in Birmingham, Michigan and have lived in Greenbay, Wisconsin, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, Chicago, Illinois, Daytona, Beach Florida, and Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida. As a youth I hitched hiked twice across the United States both North and South. I’ve traveled to San Diego, California, Tahiti, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands, Philippines, Switzerland, Germany, France, and Italy in search of true paradise…And Yes! I finally found it in Costa Rica as you will see in the following hour long film. Put your feet up, relax and see if you don’t also consider this to be a true.

Hi there, I just came across this website and read your information about living like a king in Costa Rica. I’m a New Yorker and I retired last year after a long career in law enforcement.
I have been slowly warming up to the idea of spending six months in the U.S and the other 6 months in the tropics and your information here caught my attention.
So, how does this work?
Costa Rica is a great option to retire. Money goes much much further down here than up in the USA. People should try Costa Rica.
Dear George,
I’m glad you came across my website. If you click on the book in the middle of the page, it will take you right into the website. There is a one hour documentary showing you the sights of the Pacific coast and what you can get for your money. The free movie will show you why Costa Rica is so desirable. My “How To” book explains all that is necessary to make the move without the typical financial pitfalls normally involved in locating to another country.
Please let me know what you think of the movie, your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Respectfully,
Bradley Owen Smith/Author
