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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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!

WARNING!!!! PAYING BILLS ON AUTO-PAY / WITH A CREDIT CARD IN COSTA RICA

MANY people have told me NOT to pay with a credit card for anything as sometimes it doesn't get done (this DOES happen also in the states!).

When I lived in Pozos & was paying CableTica via my credit card for a year - I had no problem. When I moved & tried to get OUT of the system, it took me FIVE/5 MONTHS of them charging me EVERY MONTH & of FIVE/5 visits TO CableTica before they got me OUT of the system!!

Do what YOU want with that info but I know what I will NO LONGER be doing PERIOD!!


I have Banco Cuscatlan & LOVE IT as their site can be done in English and to pay my bills ONLY takes SECONDS! I just put in my phone number or account number, it tells ME how much is owed, I designate the account to take it from and VWALA - PAID!!! I make a PDF copy of the receipt (not killing any paper trees!) & have it stored in my computer!!

EASE!!!
