Have you ever gone on vacation, and after returning home felt like you needed even more time to recuperate from it? I have. This usually happens when you keep yourself busy seeing all the sites and doing all the fun activities you planned, while not leaving much down time for resting or thinking. As I mentioned in my last post, w... Read More

Costa Rica, Productivity

Last week we went with some friends to the Osa Peninsula -- a very remote part of Costa Rica accessible only by boat where there is no Internet access, no cell phone service, and no electricity unless you have your own power source. And we had a fabulous time! Below, I'll be sharing some photos and videos h... Read More

We frequently hear the question, especially from those looking to move abroad, "What do you guys do about health insurance?" My answer: "We don't have any type of health insurance, and I think it's a waste of money." While many of my international friends will nod in agreement, or at least understand this statement, those back in the U.S. are most likely cocking their heads wondering how I can ... Read More

I held onto the hope of having a boy as long as I could, but the doctor said it's time to let it go - this one is definitely going to be a girl. So, in June, we'll be a family of five: four girls, and one boy (me). ... Read More

Well, this is it. We're leaving Grecia, which has been our home now for over a year. We've loved it here, and we'll miss the beautiful scenery, slower pace of life, super-friendly people, and our fantastic view of the central valley. However, we're only moving about an hour away, and since this is still Costa Rica, I'm sure we'll continue to meet friendly, laid-back people, and have good weather a... Read More

Costa Rica, Family

The past few weeks, we've been very busy looking for our next home, and I haven't had much time to write this blog post. I'll talk about the house hunting later, but for now, I'm going to reminisce about the fun times we had together with my mom and my sister's family when they were here for a visit a few weeks ago. Like me, my mom works on-line, so she was able to come down for a 3-week stay, ... Read More

We've been doing a lot of thinking the past few weeks. We've been trying to decide where we'd like to have our baby, and where we'd like to live for the majority of next year. After looking at several different countries, we realized that there weren't a lot of options for dual citizenship in countries we would want to live long-term right now. Yes, Canada and Spain are lovely, but they're also... Read More

Wow! It feels so good to be back here in Costa Rica! I love the warmth weather (a perfect 65-75 degrees), the lush, green vegetation and breathtaking views all around, the friendly, smiling people, the inexpensive food, the spaciousness and quietness of our rental house and the gardens surrounding it, and no plans of anything to see or do -- just total freedom to do whatever I want all day. I am l... Read More

As I mentioned in my last post, despite having a crazy drive and border crossing experience, we enjoyed our trip to Panama. I didn't take a whole lot of pictures, but I've been meaning to write about the trip for several days. So here we go. ... Read More
