I'm from Dallas, TX - a native, and my city has changed so much (crazy busy and over-run) that I really want a simpler, slower and more pleasant way of life. Costa Rica looks perfect as I'll be "retiring" prob next year and want a major change. I love the sound of the pace, the people (natives and ex-pats) and would want to blend in with both. I love beautiful scenery and photos (wish I could take better ones), and most especially animals of every kind. I'm an amateur gardener and have a website on that as well as a little red travel monkey: "Minkey" who travels the world with friends, family, and me altho my travel is somewhat limited compared to lots of people. Look forward to talking to everyone on here and being a "fly on the wall" to your adventures and lives. :)
