From buying a home versus renting to choosing between homeschooling and traditional education, Cathy offers invaluable advice for families considering a move to Costa Rica.
Central to their success is the power of community, which Cathy credits as the key to thriving in a new country. Whether you’re dreaming of becoming an expat, curious about family life in Costa Rica, or looking for tips on following your intuition, this episode will inspire and empower you.
