Stay in Costa Rica Tours
Posted August 29th, 2008 by Christopher HowardOn one of my Costa Rica retirement relocation tours a client recently remarked,”I love this country so much, I really have no desire to return to the States.” He was joking of course, but his comment reflects how Costa Rica’s natural beauty and laid-back lifestyle affect many visitors after they have been here for only a short period of time.
They become overwhelmed by this magical country and all it has to offer. No wonder the terms “pura vida” (pura life) and solo bueno (only good) have become synonymous with the incredible lifestyle found here. These catchy expressions refer to the flavor, sensuality and gusto which the country exudes through every square inch of its territory. Visitors literally become seduced by the way of life. Costa Rica virtually sells itself.
Anyway let’s get back to the title of this article. So many people on my retirement tours say they don’t like the idea of returning home after having had the time of their life, that it occurred to me to offer a sixth retirement tour called, “Christopher Howard’s Stay in Costa Rica Tour.”
This tour will never happen since a huge amount of planning must be done before anyone can make the move on such notice. However, this dose of humor is intended to illustrate what power Costa Rica has to change people’s lives in a very short time. I have seen this phenomenon repeatedly on my monthly retirement tours.
