Will do! We appreciate the offer of more info on opportunities in logistics and the posts from all of you.
Thanks to all of you! We are still early in the research phase but it is good to have our eyes wide open. I am a writer by passion and profession and would love to make a great living at it however we’re just not there yet. We will need to have other income so the search begins! My husband will be getting out of the military after 12 years of service in logistics and has an MBA but we are thinking self-employment is going to be our best (if not ONLY) option.
Ciao from Sicily! My husband and three young children and I are currently stationed here and have just started researching the possibility of moving to CR once he completes his tour (another year and a half).
dkt2u, I appreciated your post in response to westside’s request for information but I was wondering if you would clarify one thing? You say that you cannot move to Costa Rica and legally get a job. Not even for an American firm?! We will need some income while we work on setting up our own little entrepreneurial venture…
westside, I wish you and your girlfriend and her children much luck. We are preparing to face many skeptics (family among them!) who think that everyone’s life should fit neatly into the program they are most comfortable with. If I may be so bold as to offer a little advice, I would recommend that you find two or three restaurants or cafés that you enjoy with the kids and frequent them. We felt like such gypsies in the beginning of our time in Sicily but our oldest was able to feel connected because she knew the familiar faces of a handful of spots. Doing this helps with language development and intercultural skills AND there is a good chance that the restaurant owners and staff will have kids anxious to make some new friends!
There are many books on homeschooling out there. Take a look at TEACH YOUR OWN by John Holt (considered the father of homeschooling) and Patrick Farenga. Is there a better classroom in the world than Costa Rica??!!
I am anxiously awaiting more posts with answers to your questions as we will be on a similar journey soon. All the best!
