If I can MAKE the MOVE... anyone CAN!

Costa Rica Expat starts Pura Vida Guesthouse in La Fortuna Costa Rica. We get TONS of emails asking about moving and living in Costa Rica, well really, ANYTHING to do with Costa Rica, but moving and living here are BIGGIES!

That's why we originally decided to do the 'Expat Series'- to offer various perspectives in order to provide as much INFO about relocating to Costa Rica as possible. Because really, when considering making 'the move', INFO and PERSPECTIVE are KEY for a successful transition.

In this expat video, I'm interviewing Robin, who in 2008, along with her 9-year old daughter at the time, decided to begin a NEW life in Costa Rica.

This is her story and message to anyone considering, 'the MOVE'. *In case you don't hang around for the ENTIRE video, Robin has graciously offered to entertain questions about moving and/or living in Costa Rica. So, if you're so inclined, you can reach Robin at Pura Vida Gringa. And if you ever happen to find yourself in La Fortuna Costa Rica, home of the ever-erupting Arenal Volcano, CHECK-OUT Robin's new guest house just north of the church in the center of town. ENjoy the video.

Gay Travel in a Straight Costa Rica

Traveling GAY in Costa Rica is different than living GAY in Costa Rica.
It's TRUE, traveling gay in Costa Rica IS different from living gay in Costa Rica.

Normally, I don't post gay stuff on this blog, (since I have a gay blog dedicated to GAY Costa Rica) but every now and then I think something gay may be relevant, helpful or educational, so I do. If you're not in the mood, I totally understand. But I'll keep it short... or you could just scroll down and check out the video.

I guess I just want the 'straight' crowd to realize how easy they have it when traveling abroad. You don't usually have to consider what might happen if you hold hands in public or god forbid, kiss... We do. It sucks. We have to research a country's attitude towards gay before traveling there and adjust accordingly. Can you imagine being on your honeymoon and not being able or comfortable to express your affection in public? Really, it sucks.

So, if you have a gay friend, gay family member or are just curious how gay-friendly Costa Rica actually is, I think you just might find this video helpful. And by all means, share it with anyone gay thinking about traveling to Costa Rica. Thanx for indulging me.
