    Move Over Central Valley… This is Costa Rica’s Next Great Expat Escape

    [vimeo url=https://vimeo.com/1066950885]

    John Michael Arthur, a frequent contributor to IL—and for many years a correspondent of ours—has lived in Costa Rica for over a decade. He’s a true insider. And he knows this “hidden” part of Costa Rica well. In this place, the temperate climate ensures you’re comfortable year-round, top-rate healthcare is close at hand, and property prices are shockingly low. John will be live at 11:00 am Eastern on Thursday, March 27!

          Hi everyone – Jennifer Stevens here.

          I noticed there’s been a bit of confusion about today’s workshop, so I wanted to clear things up.

          You can join the workshop right here on this page. At the top, you’ll see a video player—that’s where the broadcast will begin at 11 AM ET.

          You do not need a separate link, and there’s no need to log into Zoom. The presentation will take place directly on this page.

          If you can’t make it live, don’t worry—a recording will be posted here shortly after the workshop ends.

          Hope this clears things up!

          IMPORTANT: Please send your Costa Rica questions for JMA in on this page.

              Is there any advantage to being in one providence than another (San Jose v Cartago)?

                I have been waiting and searching for 20 minutes. No links, no buttons, no nothing. How do I find this broadcast?

                          Just returned from Costa Rica for vacation and exploratory trip. Had a great time. Want to see this to assess what we have missed. Waiting for 1/2 hour & nothing yet.

                            Yes, I also opened the page in Chrome, and there is still no video player anywhere on the page. So sorry and don't mean to be a pest.

                              Living in Costa Rica sounds wonderful, and we're really looking forward to visiting and attending the International Living conference in May. The medical system sounds excellent, but for someone who does not speak Spanish, how would I navigate it?

                                  I'm desiring to know about the language of the area; is it best to take Spanish classes before I visit? I've taken classes in the past and just need to brush up but am not currently fluent and I don't want to be disrespectful. I'm aware many areas in Costa Rica also understand English. What about this area? Thank you!

                                    How can we get in touch directly with John Michael Arthur? We have some time sensitive things going on and would like to speak as soon as possible. Harriett Porter (980-) 451-5085; Kristen Witte (704) 609-6984.

                                    We are both currently located in
                                    charlotte but know each other from our intense professional lives in Minnesota.

                                        Thank you for this interview - it was great to hear John's perspective on this area of Costa Rica. Where would I find info or a link to the airbnb's mentioned, owned by John & his husband? We have been to Costa Rica a few times, but have never stayed in this area & may want to explore it for a potential retirement location. Thanks again! Julie & Jeff
