ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:
Has my blog helped in any way? Helped find something•brought more EASE? More exposure or business?
I welcome you to show YOUR appreciation for my efforts!
ANY size DONATION is APPRECIATED!

Each time we recommend a restaurant, a hairdresser, a movie, we are giving referrals. When we plan to purchase something, we are more likely to ask friends than turn to advertising.

When you pay attention to the process, you will easily find that you do this each and every day. When you add in a system, and a way of tracking your referrals given and received, the amount of business will jump accordingly.


Attendees are encouraged to purchase coffee/drinks a d baked goods/food at the WCCR Book Sale Fundraiser, Coffee and Baked Goods Sale Corner. Proceeds from this event will benefit the WCCR's Educational Scholarship and Reading is Fun Projects.
