thanks for the info. I’ll check these out.
I still think there is an opportunity for a local travel agent to capitalize on the many tourists here who want to explore Panama or Nicaragua and beyond, or need to leave for their visa renewals. On Radio Dos I heard a new ad for a travel agent that hit on these points, but their website doesn’t follow through with the info on these types of packages.
I know of lots of Canadians living full or part-time in Costa. Life is about more than money and exchange rates. The adventure of life in a new country can be worth more than a poor dollar exchange. In addition the lack of consumer culture as compared to the US/Canada is a refreshing change.
Outside of San Jose, Costa Rica is pretty rural and in that sense allows a more down to earth and quiet existence.
I too have been looking for a tax consultant familiar with CDN / CR tax law. I was told Deloitte in SJ was a good bet but that didn’t work out for me. I’m now trying Ernst & Young.
If you find someone, please post it.
thanks
A good CR website for maps is http://www.maptak.com
For printed maps, I have a good one (waterproof too) – they publish maps from around the globe. http://www.itmb.com
thanks Irish guy. I will check them out.
Anyone else who perhaps knows a former Canadian accountant now living/working in Costa Rica?
I drive that road from Dominical to Quepos every couple of weeks and while the rain has made the first section out of Dominical very bumpy, it is not such a terrible road. So many people are scared to travel it b/c of what they hear. Just go at a comfortable speed and you’ll be fine.
January through April it only took me 45 minutes to do the trek – the road was great. As the rain started it took as long as 75 minutes due to more bumps and some construction delays.
