In this episode, we sit down with Cathy Tallone, a transformational life coach who made the life-changing decision to move to Costa Rica with her family during the pandemic. Originally from the New Hampshire Seacoast, Cathy, her husband Michael, and their two sons, aged 8 and 14 at the time, embarked on their Costa Rican adventure in November 2020, completing the move in June 2021.
Cathy shares how their first visit to Costa Rica in March 2020—just days before the pandemic shut down the country—planted the seed for a new life abroad. From buying a home versus renting to choosing between homeschooling and traditional education, Cathy offers invaluable advice for families considering a move to Costa Rica.
Central to their success is the power of community, which Cathy credits as the key to thriving in a new country. Whether you’re dreaming of becoming an expat, curious about family life in Costa Rica, or looking for tips on following your intuition, this episode will inspire and empower you.
