I want to open up a discussion to get your feedback on why you have chosen to move to and live in Costa Rica. There are many reasons to move here, but I’ll bet there are only a few that most people will select from the following few ideas that roll off the top of my head this morning.

I know the reason I moved here was because I was treated as a human by warm loving folks. And the weather is awesome. And the beaches were tons of fun, though now that I’m an old fart i find the ocean to be pleasant but much prefer the mountain living.

So, lets see why someone would want to move to Costa Rica to live. Here are a few reasons:

1) Climate – never too hot or cold

2) Friendly People – even old farts can find love

3) Cost of living – well not any more

4) Natural Beauty

5) Health – lots of yoga retreats

6) Surfing – year round great waves

7) Sex

Business Opportunities – ahem !

9) Red Tape

10) Food – fresh raw foods fruits vegetables meats milk

11) Medical and dental care

12) own your own hobby farm or condo

The coffe is running down and i’m out of ideas. Please send me your ideas to add to this list to
