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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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

I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

Show your LOVE for Mother Earth - get the Tico Times ON-LINE!!


Each day I'm working more consciously on Showing My LOVE for Mother Earth, so for today, I've decided to STOP the PAPER version of the TICO TIMES (the main news source for Costa Rica in English) and ordered the ONLINE Gold Subscription version!! 

I ESPECIALLY LOVE their travel and restaurant articles and the Weekend Calendar as there just aren't any resources in Costa Rica like that!!!

With it I got the Daily version AND back issues I can search for info WAYYYY EASIER and download it to read off my computer at my leisure.

PLUS, when paying for 1 year upfront, I get a PDF version of their WONDERFUL Travel Guide "Exploring Costa Rica" (I think it's one of the BEST/most up-to-date guidebooks on Costa Rica!!).

Another advantage if $$ is a bit tight, you can order a subscription for just 1 month ($5.95), 3 months ($17.95), 6 months ($35.95) as well as 1 year ($49.95)!!!

To subscribe - you can call Clara in Subscriptions at the Tico Times at 2-258-1558 or online at http://TicoTimes.net/Subscribe

The Tico Times is also a GREAT resource if you're thinking of moving to or visiting Costa Rica also!!


Make sure to tell them that Vicki (aka THE "Sarong Goddess") shared this info!!
