Hi,
I am a newly layed-off US citizen with plans to retire soon in Costa Rica. I am one of the few who are moving to the east/Atlantic side of the country. I have purchased land at Grand View Estates (close to Siquirres) and plan on having horses and doing some basic horse fundamentals-training for anyone interested at my soon to be built home/ranch. So I am especially interested in connecting with other horse enthusiasts and expats living in this area. I am single and so have time to get involved in community, volunteer work, and development of home skills that I have neglected for quite some time. I have 2 French Bulldogs who will be making the move with me to CR. As I am a true animal lover, I anticipate there will be future furry additions to my family. I've been researching this move for over 1 1/2 years now but am still in the dark on so many things. I hope this blog can be of help. Feel free to contact me.
