    When I lived in Tres Rios years ago, I worked online and didn't have many issues. And the internet has only improved over the last years.
    In Guanacaste, which is more rural, I have fast, reliable internet and phone service. I get some dead zones on my cell but it works perfectly at my house and in most places.

    There are many private schools around the country and public schools are availabe for fluent Spanish speakers. It all depends on where the region you are looking at. Share what areas you are interested in and I can give you my recommendations.

    I wrote this article and it can give you a bit of an overview, yet with a focus in Guanacaste.

    A few years ago, there was a lot of volcanic activity in the Central Valley. My friends that have respiratory issues had problems during that time. Where I am in Guanacaste, the closest volcano is 100 km from me. We haven't had any issues. Yet we do feel earthquakes often.

    I will talk with some friends and learn more about the volcanic activity the expereince in the Central Valley and share more about this at the conference in May-- and will post about it on the IL Costa Rica Community page too.

    Thanks for the excellent info on Costa Rica! Can you share any details on water quality? Is it safe to drink? And how is wastewater handled? One other question...what about any wildlife hazards like poisonous snakes, spders, etc?

    Thanks,

    David
