Covid-19 Update – October 2, 2020 – Come on Down BABY!

Covid-19 Update – October 2, 2020 – Come on Down BABY!

Unbelievably GREAT news to start out the weekend!  A bunch of new states are being allowed in and we now have an official date for ALL OF NORTH AMERICA to be able to come to Costa Rica   Check out the video.

Costa Rica is authorizing travel from the entire United States as of November 1, 2020.  Read this Tico Times article for all the details  ticotimes.net/2020/10/02/costa-rica-authorizes-tourism-from-the-entire-united-states

If you plan on flying with American Airlines they are offering Covid-19 tests right at the airport and since this is a requirement for coming to Costa Rica it makes it extremely handy.  Check out the Tico Times Article here ticotimes.net/2020/10/02/american-airlines-offering-pre-flight-coronavirus-testing-for-costa-rica-travelers

If you are trying to book a flight and need information on the travel requirement or need to purchase the travel insurance here are some good resources below:

You may have seen these next videos from the last update but just in case you are seeing this for the first time they will be relevant to you.

One of the most common questions I am getting from Clients these days is whether it is possible to work online from home in Costa Rica.  IBM did a recent study that found 54% of jobs today can be done online from home.  Not only is it possible to do this in Costa Rica but many are already doing it and finding out that you can keep working and live in paradise at the same time.  What a way to enjoy life!  In this next video I explain some of the details of why Costa Rica is a perfect place to work from home online.

And finally, based on the new normal of social distancing, I discuss in this next video why I think Vacation and Rental Properties are going to jump in popularity as more people will look to vacation in an individual Home or Condo vs. a large Hotel or Cruise Ship.  

Please stay safe and I will see you down in Costa Rica as soon as possible.  We are here waiting with a cold one for you.

COME ON DOWN BABY!
