More and more North Americans are discovering their dollars go farther "South of the border." Luxuries that only the financial elite find affordable in North America are available here. On our fact-filled tours you will learn all of the "insider secrets" of living in Costa Rica. Located only two hours by air from Florida, Costa Rica has been called the "Little Switzerland of America." Year-round springlike weather; friendly people; a democratic government; a low cost of living; inexpensive medical care; excellent transportation and communication systems; affordable housing; a wealth of opportunities which allow foreigners to start a business on a shoestring; high-interest investments paying 20% or more annually; tax savings for foreign residents (make up to $70,000 a year tax free); plus a government that makes relocating as easy as possible--all combine to make Costa Rica tops on the list of expatriate havens. More North Americans live in Costa Rica per capita than any other country outside of the U.S.! |
"Chris
Howard was fabulous! He mixed excellent information with lots of fun.
The choise of speakers at the Association of Residents Seminar gave my
husband and I the sources we needed. He didn't try to
"white-wash" anything. Great! Great! Great!" |
