Who Is Steve Linder?

I’m a baby boomer like many of you

I grew Up in Cambridge, Massachusetts

I moved to Key West, Florida in 1999

Then came 5 years of active Hurricanes

I needed a Plan B

By the time I’d moved to Florida I realized I could live anywhere

I was watching our government devalue my life savings by printing money to pay off our huge foreign debt

So my wife and I started looking around the globe

For other living options

Costa Rica seemed to offer the least risk for the highest reward

Costa Rica is in Central America between Nicaragua and Panama

Costa Rica?

It’s about the size of West Virginia

Costa Rica is less than a 2 ½ hour direct flight from Miami. Nearly every airline flies there daily.

Costa Rica is situated below the hurricane belt

Home to 4.2 million residents

It’s also home to 100,000 foreigners

Including more than 50,000 North Americans

Tap water is safe to drink in Costa Rica

The country contains more than 100 types of ferns, 1,000 orchards and 2000 kinds of trees.

27% of the country is national park or protected land

Tourism is the #1 source of income

Costa Rica is home to a dizzying array of fauna.

Toucans

Tree Frogs Blue Morpho Butterflies

More than 50 kinds of Hummingbirds

Humpback Whales

Olive Ridley TurtlesSquirrel Monkeys

Sloths

860 bird species reside in Costa Rica; including the spectacular Scarlet Macaw.

More than in the US and Canada combined.

Arenal Volcano

South Pacific Coast Beach

La Paz Waterfall

Costa Rica is loaded with Natural Wonders

Diving off Cocos Island

San Jose National Theater

Cartago Cathedral Casinos

And man-made ones

And for those of us who prefer to relax.

It’s a country with little government corruption.

And a very healthy economy.

The US is Costa Rica’s largest trading partner. Intel is the largest employer.

Costa Rica uses the colon as their currency, not the dollar.

Foreigners have the same right to property ownership as Costa Ricans do. It is deeded

and fee simple ownership.

The pace of life is slower.

Perhaps that’s why Costa

Ricans have a longer life span than those in

the US.

Costa Rica, a peaceful country, neutral for 200 years, was the first country in the world

to constitutionally abolish its army.

Focusing spending on Education (boasting a 96% literacy rate)

spending instead on education

Costa Rica is proud of a 97% literacy rate among its citizens; among the highest in Latin America

and…

High Quality, Low Cost Healthcare

(nearly free to residents)

Ranked higher than the US by WHO

After buying property there, my wife and I started promoting the benefits and lifestyle in Costa Rica

I am now regarded as an expert about living abroad, speaking to groups of baby boomers like myself who are

looking for warmer climates and a higher quality of life

We started a tour company
