Living Abroad in Costa Rica
The author of Living Abroad in Costa Rica, Erin Van Rheenen began her career as a serial relocater at age three, when her parents moved the family from Portland, Oregon, to Lagos, Nigeria. Most of her adopted locales, however, turned out to be in Latin America, including Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, and of course Costa Rica. She now divides her time between San Francisco, California, and San Jose, Costa Rica. For more information on moving to Costa Rica, visit www.LivingAbroadinCostaRica.com.
