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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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

SAFETY ADVICE for Travelers & Locals in Costa Rica


Here's a REALLY HELPFUL poster LISA VALENCIA created that has some really good SAFETY HINTS for tourists visiting Costa Rica - BUT - it's also VERY relavant for people's safety that are living in Costa Rica!!


Some people will see this and go into Fear mode.  I look at it this way, MANY of these hints are relevant for ANYWHERE you travel and when I have an idea of what POTENTIALLY MAY come up (RARE), I can be prepared hence do NOT have to worry about it from then on out - as long as I'm being CONSCIOUS!!!!  I have CONTROL and have little chance of being a "victim!!" and so far that has worked for me in my 35+ years of traveling!!  NO incidents yet!!!


What other hints•comments•elaboration would YOU add to this????
