Hi all,

Newbie on the Costa Rica forum? Don't know how to start?

Hello,

I’m Antonio. I was living in Playa Ocotal for about 2 years, then had to go back to the states for health and other reasons. But now my wife, Seidy (a tica I met in CR) and I are returning! We are excited to escape the cold and the lack of sun here in Eugene, OR, as well as the immigration uncertainty as we await her green card.

I’ve been a broadcaster, and recording/ electroacoustic entrepreneur, also am an artist, and musician. Seidy is a CR Pharmacist and hope to open one in the area soon.

We are looking to making new friends. God is good. Pura Vida!

@CreatiaLife..Friends do not let friends open a business in Costa Rica..If you have to compromise yourselves going down this road you have killed the whole purpose of coming back here..Not to mention the 'bureaucracy de jour' to get this going and having to work harder than ever...
