| "If
you're fantasizing about living or retiring in Costa Rica, Christopher
Howard is the go-to guy. His tour of the beaches is worth taking
just for the food and scenery. Chris knows where to find the most
delicious meals and gorgeous beaches, and is a fount of information
about what you'll encounter as an ex pat. His tours are a great
way to learn if Costa Rica is for you. And they're fun!" -- Sara
Davidson, contributing editor of Oprah magazine,
October 2005. |
| "Chris
is 'the' expert on relocating to Costa Rica -- that's clear within
a few minutes of reading his book or spending any time with him.
For someone with his boundless knowledge and experience, he's also
incredibly down to earth. For the neophyte, he really boils things
down and takes care in answering your questions and introducing
you to every major facet of life in this beautiful country. There's
no better way to get introduced, settled and assimilated in Costa
Rica than to have Chris as your pointman." Peronet Despeignes,
Economics writer, Fortune Magazine, December 24,
2005. |
