More than 3 months?
I may have found a way to make money through writing. An aquaintance of mine has hired me to edit some content dealing with real estate investment. This of course I do on my computer and send away. He has given me some great ideas for marketing myself further to others looking for editors and I am going to give it a shot. It wont make me rich but since you don't need alot to live on in costa rica it coule possibly the ticket to prolonging my stay. Of course that is provided I like it there and want to prolong it. I really can't see that as an issue. Sometimes I forget how some things come naturally and others you really have to work for. When something really valuable comes along that you didn't have to bust your ass looking for its like finding a twenty dollar bill on the side of the road, but better because nobody had to lose something for you to gain.
My departure is still scheduled for the first of february next year. My mom is making plans to visit in march and I'm encouraging any and all of my friends to come down as well. A mental snapshot of my life there looks a little like:
A seaside community of small houses and a harbor full of fishing boats and sail boats belonging to people from all over the world. The town will have a market full of fresh vegetables and fruits from the surrounding countryside. I will find a tiny but qaint abode on the outskirts of town and ride my bike in to pick up food and connect to the internet. If I can't be on the beach hopefully I can be close enough to have a view. The townspeople will be a mix of artistic ex-pats and locals. Old men with wide brimmed white straw hats sitting outside store fronts smoking something and little latin women selling homemade clothing in the market. Coffee shops with european and australians talking politics.
Sounds a little idilic but you never know. I'll let you know how close I came when I get there.
