Thanks to everyone for the continuing advice, and the offers to e-mail/chat on the phone. I am going to take those of you who made those kind offers up on them, but I am flat out at work and away a lot at the moment, so I want to wait until I am clearer both in time and in my mind, so that I can do those offers justice – ddn’t want anyone to think I was just being rude and ignoring them!
So far the holiday option sounds like the best one, but we have a tightish timetable, which may mean that we have to back out of this route – but we will keep exploring it until there is nothing to explore – so thanks again to everyone who has taken the time to offer advice – it is much appreciated.
Thanks for the info.
It’s not so much a case of not having the money for a plane ticket, it’s more a case of not having, nor being willing I if I had, the money to waste if this is not an idea that can go anywhere. I am trying to find out if there is any mileage in this at all; if there is, then throwing time and financial resource at it is worth while, but purely speculative expense of either time or resource is not part of my general approach. The ultimate aim is to leave the UK, and the destination is up for grabs; Costa Rica caught my eye, rather than being something to which I aspire, so if it can’t work, c’est la vie.
The general feel that I am getting is that the odds are stacked against it being feasible to start a new life in Costa Rica if you need to work, unless you are very very motivated to make Costa Rica your home, which is the feeling I had before posing the question here, but I wanted to kick it about a bit more before discounting it altogether.
Still, maybe one day I will take up your holiday suggestion – sounds nice!
@Everyone
Thanks so much for responding so quickly, and with so much great advice. I think I am going to explore the business start-up, and then look to visit if that seems like a realistic way forward. It’d be great to come over sooner, but without some degree of hope that it’s a realistic possibility for the long-term we don’t have the resources to throw at plane tickets. The business start-up is pretty exciting actually, as I was on the verge of what I thought was an exciting opportunity 18 moths ago, but the UK’s anti-entrepreneurial apathy squashed it before it got off the ground, so who knows!
Again, thanks so much for taking the time to give us some insight.
Andy
