BB, I love it here. Came down to work, fell in love with the country and intend to spend the rest of my life here. For me the quality life is great. Excellent climate, natural beauty everywhere, and a relaxed pace of day to day life. The Costa Rican people are some of the nicest on earth. Crime has gone up since I arrived but all in all, not that bad. Mostly petty crime, but violence has also increased. Have never had a problem where I live. Any other info you need, feel free to ask.
