Move Over Central Valley… This is Costa Rica’s Next Great Expat Escape
-
I am using Google Chrome
-
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?
-
A map would be MOST useful! Just a simple one so we can place cities/ areas mentioned/
-
the linkls are not working
-
No video player here either. I will try to watch it after the live presentation and hope that wil work!
-
How are the internet connections inthe Central Valley?
-
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?
-
Thanks for this! I'm coming to the conference in May, and enjoy learning about all the variety of climates there. See you there!

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

Hi! I live near Tamarindo in Guanacaste and my internet is great. I am up over 400 mbps download and 20 mbps upload speed regularly. I used to h ave 2 connections, yet now I ony use my cell phone as backup when needed.

HI everyone, Bekah Bottone here. Although I live in Guanacaste now, I spent years in San Pedro and also in Tres Rios, in the Central Valley. I loved my time living in those places -- walking all over the place and using public transportation.... yet also living in the mountains and enjoying nature too.

no video player is seen at the top of this page please advise

I love the cooler weather and greeness of Tres Rios. -
Hi. I think it is always to start Spanish lessons before moving. Tourist and beach locations speak a lot of English. In the Central Valley, you hear more Spanish for sure. Speaking Spanish allows you to connect with locals and integrate more into the culture. I love to recommend a friend of mine's classes: https://wespeakspanish-cr.com./
Focusing on conversation skills is the best way to start!
