I am a naturalized citizen of Costa Rica. I first arrived (from the U.S.) in 2001 to broker a deal that sold one of the country’s premier private universities to a U.S. publicly-held education company. Since 2004 I’ve arranged eco-intensive Costa Rica vacation tours to locations throughout the country, as well as Nicaragua, Panama and Colombia. In addition to serving as an agent with the Coldwell Banker Dominical Realty team since 2015, I offer Expat Consulting and conduct guided Expat Tours.

And most communicate quite well with English speakers. Many actually do speak it. And many who don’t have learned how to manage rudimentary conversations.I'm also often asked wheth...
Over the 25 years that I've lived in Costa Rica, I've seen dramatic improvements in infrastructure, especially with Costa Rica's roads.Nevertheless, compared to the U.S., Costa Rican roads are bad.In many areas of the country, the main road might be paved and quite good, but virtually all secondary roads will be dirt.And in some cases, a paved road can be worse than a dirt...
