Embark with Rita and me on a remarkable expedition, as we reveal the secrets of stretching our retirement dollars in sun-kissed locales. Our latest podcast episode whisks you away to the coasts of Playa Coronado in Panama and then to the rich biodiversity of Costa Rica, where a new visitor policy could signal our next home. Special guests Roy McGinnis and Julie Tallman, veterans of international living, join the conversation, sharing their first-hand impressions of Costa Rica's inviting climate and lifestyle—painting a vivid picture for potential expats like us.

Our travels are not just about the destinations, but the journey in between, and in this chapter, the roads of Costa Rica lead us to unexpected delights. We discuss how a balance between tourist attractions and local culture can enhance the expat experience, reminiscing about the tranquility of a spa day in Fortuna that epitomizes the 'Pura Vida' way of life. There's something about the Costa Rican atmosphere that invites one to slow down and savor the moment, a lesson we're learning to incorporate into our own retirement.

As we ponder the future, we compare the charms and challenges of retiring in Costa Rica versus Mexico, including how to relocate horses across borders. But retirement abroad isn't just about the logistics; it's about 'rewirement', embracing the complexity and excitement of this profound life change. Stay tuned to our unfolding adventure, filled with practical advice, heartfelt reflections, and the joy of discovering how life abroad can redefine the golden years of retirement.
