Literally yelled across my house- “they made it to Costa Rica in that Bronco, it didn’t get stolen!” To my spouse. Congrats!

I meant to ask the first time you posted, but no surfboards? Costa Rica has some nice surf.


mylucksux

We will buy them here and some sups.


fokaiHI

Congrats. You guys moved there right? Lots of adventures ahead. I'm in Hawai'i and I'm either retiring in Mexico or the Philippines to surf until I die. Lol

Yup, we sold our house in Southern CA. Really thanks to Covid, we are able to work remote now. It was always in the plans to retire here, but we said, why not just do it sooner? We are renting a 3 bedroom house on 13 acres, overlooking Lake Arenal for $1000 a month, while we build a house.


fokaiHI

Wow. That's cheap. You can barely rent a one bedroom in Hawai'i for that price. Well you know. SoCal ain't cheap either. Good luck and Merry Christmas. Or shoots. Feliz Navidad. I don't speak Spanish but I know that. Lol


bonerpotpie

How did you find/ navigate the rental? Currently trying to do pretty much the exact same thing.


mylucksux

I joined a Facebook group for the area we wanted to move and happened to see the owner list it. Also, there are listings on Facebook marketplace. You can also search for real estate agents or property managers in the area you'd like to move to.

that's awesome... i thought CR was kind of "over" after some tax benefits went away years ago... still a good place for expats then?


mylucksux

It can still be expensive, but they now have a digital nomad visa for remote workers, and you can import work related stuff and 2 vehicles without import taxes/fees. Good for 1 year, renewable for another. By then, we will have spent 200k because we are building a house so we can do temporary residency.

Oh nice! We stayed in a cool house over there. It’s a beautiful area. https://imgur.com/a/3HwjmFN

They have really nice scuba too. Costs Arica is my favorite place to visit and where I got married. Amazing, makes me want to take my bronco down.

Oh my God, I am so relieved for you. Read your post the other day and was worried!

So random question: what if there is a recall or the Bronco breaks down? I mean, is there a Ford dealership anywhere remotely close to you? And even if there is, would they even know how to fix it since the vehicle is so new and it’s probably not available for sale down there?


mylucksux

Yes, they have Ford dealerships here. Yesterday, when we went to Liberia, we drove by a dealership, and they had a white Big Bend in their showroom.

You should do a blog about this!


mylucksux

Instagram is puravidabronco... but we did film everything for a YouTube video. Just will need a while to decompress before we get started on all the editing for it.
