Regular Tour
Compare the cost of other "TOURS" and read what my past guests have to say at references. Then you will understand why you should take this tour with me?
Each day more are discovering their dollars go farther in Central America. Costa Rica is known as the "Switzerland" of the south, with it's peaceful and loving people.
As the world economy continues to slide, Costa Rica is attracting an even stronger amount of interest. Below is the actual visits to my website by country for January 2009. |

My 4 day, 3 night Relocation & Retirement tour can open your eyes and mind to this inexpensive and wonderful lifestyle, where owning a car is
optional.
You will learn how to evaluate the actual replacement cost of an existing home so you will know if asking prices for existing places are reasonable.
You will learn how to buy a property and the best way for you to go about building a home on it.
You will learn how to develop your own project for a little added income as well as fun. It is still very possible to do a small project and sell parts for enough to partially or totally pay for your home.
You will learn about rental homes/condos and how there is a lot of opportunity if you want to develop a rental project due to the scarcity of good value rental homes.
My tours are customized to your needs - the search for an inexpensive and exciting location to retire and live off your social security. Of course, you can have more toys and options if you have more than just SS income. We will visit local shops and markets to discover the BETTER and CHEAPER way of living than in the US.
Our travel takes us through RURAL areas where you will experience the warmth and love of life (Pura Vida) of the "Ticos", an affectionate term for Costa Ricans.
You will see for yourself how the Costa Rican Medical System works in the small towns, where prescription medication can cost far less and most are free to residents.
We will also experience the convenience, low cost, and versatility of the rural taxis and buses. You can compare these scenic, fresh air, and friendly rides
to your present mode of commuting. A CAR AND ALL ASSOCIATED EXPENSES IS NOT NECESSARY HERE, WALKING SHORT DISTANCES IS HEALTHY!
The tour and your expenses are a write off of your income taxes since you will be here to research your new business.
Our New Purpose Built Bus.
There is NO ONE doing a tour like this.
You can learn in the four days what took me five years!
