Expat experience

Since September 2007

Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limon, Costa Rica

I am currently enjoying a blissful life in paradise! I write about my experiences and post it on my web site. I also paint murals.

The gorgeous beaches, amazing jungle and the warm and friendly people.

Last year there was flooding in the rainy season. This year the weather is lovely - some rain but not too much. Lots of sun.

Sept 1990 - Sept 2007

Whitefish, Montana, USA

Raised two kids, owned and ran two businesses, did every kind of summer and winter sport you can think of.

The Rocky Mountains

Used to be a rustic little ski town, now it is the place where the rich build their multi million dollar vacation homes - too many Hummers driving around!
