hello my name is Steven. i live in Las Vegas, Nevada. i have been unemployed for 29 months now. i was forced to take early retirement and live on a limited income. i have not had health insurance for 29 months either. my home is completely upside down! i am planning to visit San Jose, Costa Rica soon and i have no idea where to go from there. i am seriously debating moving to Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, Ecuador or Nicaragua permanently and within the next 6 months to a year but i do not know anyone there. i am hoping to find expatriots there to converse with and find out everything i can. i am worried about going to somewhere dangerous because i do not know what areas to stay away from. i do not know the best places to see for consideration. i love the gym, swimming, nature, animals, scuba diving, snorkeling, restaraunts, theatre and so on. i would love any suggestions or help that you can give me. i need to make a decision soon because i can no longer afford to live here in the USA. i have 6 cats that are fairly old and i love them dearly. i want to take them with me. do you know how pet friendly home rentals are there? i appreciate any info you can give me.
thank you in advance
Steven Z.
