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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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

(might having EXPENSIVE cars like this in the first place [many of these above run between $55,000-$80,000 and get bad gas mileage!!  But they look good if you're driving behind them eh??], have been a big contributor towards Costa Rica's economic woo's!  I'm SHOCKED at this!!!  I'm curious what the new ones they bought were?  Any local journalist looking into this?? [sadly - how many locals would be enraged and try to do anything about it . . .]
