John Howells knows Latin America well. He lived in Mexico as a youth and traveled extensively, publishing several guidebooks about living, retiring, and investing in foreign locations, and qualifying him as an expert on what it’s like to be an expatriate in this charming little country, the “Switzerland of Central America.” John and his wife, Sherry, divide their time between Costa Rica and California.

Good for Travel

Good practical guide to Costa Rica, its great for the traveler too. Gives a nut and bolts of living in CR by someone who has done it. He's lived in the central valley and the beaches so its a good overview of most of the country. Much better than the book by Moon. Would like to see it updated more often but extremely useful still. What's not covered can be picked up in the references. Christopher Howard book is good too. Both give you realistic how to cope views not just the travel brochures which is important if you're really thinking about moving there.

Well worth the small investment I made for this book - found a lot of information not available from other sources, and explanations of areas of concern that I had. Would recommend it to anyone considering visiting or living in Costa Rico....

Informative, Covers the Basics.

This is a useful and interesting consideration of reasons why one would/would not select Costa Rica as a retirement
option. I like the authors' candid evaluations and balanced consideration of advantages and disadvantages. I would prefer, however, many more photographs and pictures, which would make the reading even more interesting and provocative. Also, I would prefer colored photographs rather than mere black and white images. Seems odd to me that a book on Costa Rica would not include these visuals, rather like a travel book not including maps.
