having found this group only moments ago, and scanned through reading the posts, it would seem that there is a definite following of
like mided people assembling there and the build-up of excitement is rivaled only by the numerous questions piling up in my mind,
so if any of you could be so kind as to take a moment from what seems to be nearly paradise, to answer the ones you may
know about specifically, or have personal experience with, it would be much appriciated!!
I guess the best place to start is to explain where Im coming from and my goal in life that led to me find and be potentially interested in doing what many
of you have done.
(also check-out my profile and groups for an additional clue if you like)
Im 31, single, and a generally counter-culture type. I live in a relatively inexpensive area of the US, making it possible for me to own the apartment I live in and a house that I rent out. I am not formally trained in any specific trade or profession, rather I can do a little bit of everything- mainly so that I donot have
to pay anyone to do it for me (i do all my own auto-mechanical work, I completely remodled and re-wired my rental house, I build my own numerous computers from discarded parts, etc. etc.) self sufficiency is my goal, and I would like to get to the point where I live as inexpensively and independently
as possible. I am increasingly scared of what the US is becoming, and I donot want to continue to grind and struggle to acheive something Im not real excited about anyway. I would consider myself to be quite the hermit but I feel like that has more to do with there being a complete lack of like-minded
people around me than anything else.
this is why I am interested.
now knowing what you know...
is costa rica, and possibly an intentional community there for me?
*do I need a visa or immigration papers or something like that?
*is there no mountain of paperwork and BS or years of waiting to do what you've done?
*how does the cost of living compare?
*how expensive is medical care?
*how hard is it to get by considering it's aparrently illegal for non cost-ricans to work?
*are there land taxes, building permits/regulations in the semi-rural areas?
*is there some sort of quarantine or other BS my pets would have to go through?
this is the tip of the iceberg, but I'll take it slow...
THANKS! for your time!
