ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

LIST - Websites for Info on Costa Rica

This site is in the midst of being overhauled so sorry if some links are out of date but at least this will get you started.

http://LivingLifeInCostaRica.blogspot.com  - That’s US!!  I can’t believe how this site has grown!  In October we had nearly 7,000 Views!!  Whenever I go to a gathering I get “YOU’RE Vicki/the Sarong Goddess??!!!  I’ve been following your site for ___ years & it’s the first thing I go to when searching for something or that comes up the most when I do a search often”!!!  WOW!!  & I haven’t even tried!!  This has given me the incentive to give this site the time/energy it deserves as it’s THE MOST DETAILED site I’ve EVER seen!!  (to me, just giving me the name and phone number of a business doesn’t help much – especially if one doesn’t speak a lot of Spanish and finding information in Costa Rica can be QUITE challenging as we know!!).  Do YOU have something to add to it?  Submit it to me at info@CostaRicaResourceGuide.com
