Welcome to my Costa Rica Blog. My name is Lisle Head and I am excited to share some information about a place that I have come to call home—Costa Rica. For some people Costa Rica is a vacation destination and it started out that way for me, too, but there was something about this place—the people; the values; the beautiful beaches and gorgeous sunsets—that made me decide to pack my bags, liquidate my assets and make this beautiful place my home. You see, I grew up in a beautiful, family oriented area—Fort Bragg in Northern California—so I could easily recognize the magnitude of what I had found on that fateful first vacation trip to Jaco, Costa Rica.
There are hundreds, no maybe thousands of beautiful and exotic locations a person could choose to live in, but all too often these places are highly commercialized and have certain negative drawbacks such as a high crime rate or a lot of immorality.Costa Rica offers the beautiful exotic location without a lot of the negative aspects you find in other popular vacation spots.There is still a certain purity that remains. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that everything here is perfect—nowhere is—but it is definitely one of the best places in the world to live.
So, I would like to take a minute to let you know what to expect as my blog develops and evolves. I hope to educate and entertain you with the latest news and views from this beautiful country. I will also enlighten you on some of the do’s and don’ts of buying real estate in Costa Rica. I hope that you will fall in love with this place the way I have and maybe buy a beautiful piece of ocean-front property or a nice condo for you or your family.
