Описание: In the last century, the south-central Pacific coast of Costa Rica evolved from a wild, remote strip of land to one sparsely populated by homesteaders who cleared the forests to live off the land. Now it is a popular tourist destination filled with diverse wildlife in the abundant rainforests. Join author Jack Ewing as he reveals the ever-changing and fascinating history of the area and recounts his 45-year journey from managing a cattle ranch to developing Hacienda Barъ into a National Wildlife Refuge. And discover how his efforts with the Path of the Tapir Biological Corridor may one day bring jaguars and tapirs back to the area. REVIEWS "For Jack's many fans, the stories recalling episodes of his 45-year, personal evolution from cattle rancher, to emerging naturalist and conservationist, to renowned environmentalist will be equally enlightening and entertaining. This book will appeal to all ages and a wide range of readers -- tourists, naturalists, environmentalists, natural history students, local history buffs and anyone who has had the pleasure of experiencing the natural Costa Rica that Jack has worked so hard to foster and protect. - Dorothy MacKinnon, travel writer; Fodor's Guide to Costa Rica, Insight Guide to Costa Rica, Tico Times "Because of Jack Ewing and people like him we are sure to see the return of the tapir and jaguar to this extraordinary biological corridor, keeping this part of Costa Rica truly the 'rich coast' as it was meant to be. Where the Tapirs and Jaguars once Roamed is a must read for those who love Costa Rica and those yet to discover this beautiful country." - Pat Cheek, Quepolandia "The Costa Rican conservation story is a fascinating one and Jack Ewing has been an incredibly effective participant in its success. The book gives a very real and personal context to it. And he's a great story teller as well. I loved it!" - Richard Andrus, Professor - Binghamton University, New York "Where Tapirs and Jaguars Once Roamed transports the reader into Costa Rica with an intimacy born from the author's life there and with a vividness that would be difficult to match even seeing it for yourself. It is fascinating and personal, never dry or academic, yet by the end there's no denying it's a thoroughly educational read." - Ray & Sue Krueger-Koplin, Toucan Maps Inc.

You know you've done it. You've dreamed about living in a tropical paradise. You've imagined yourself spending your days in the blissful hammock of your jungle home with the sounds of the wild out your window. Hearing the sounds of the crashing waves just beyond the trees and smelling the fresh sea breeze. BUT....
You tell yourself, "The responsible move is to keep making those payments and someday I might live long enough to make it there. Maybe when I get my career figured out." Or possibly, "When the kids are out of the house." There are a million reasons we put it off and dismiss the idea of living out our dreams. Well, Cut The Crap & Move To Costa Rica will take away the excuse of not having the information you need.
No longer can you blame ignorance and not knowing what it would take.
"What am I going to do for work and income?" you ask. This book discusses what the employment and income options are and provide ideas on where to look for income. Learn the legal options for income and employment whether you are a resident or not.
"But, what about my kids' school?" you say. Well, there are options in education as well, and guess what? That's covered too. Not to mention the life lessons and experiential learning of new places and cultures. Add to that the expanded worldview and your kids will develop in ways you can only imagine.
"How do I find a place to live?" you wonder. The Housing chapter gives advice on how to locate a home, as well as, tips for things to watch out for when renting and purchasing homes in Costa Rica.
International Bestselling Authors, Steve & Nikki Page have taken their experience and research from their recent relocation to Central America and documented it here for you. While they do include stories of trials and things they witnessed, they have "Cut The Crap" to inform the reader of the vital information required for a successful relocation. This book is not selling you a dream but rather giving you the instruction needed to make your dreams a reality. Don't waste your time reading about others living in paradise, instead read about the facts and processes of establishing yourself abroad.
This Worldwide Bestselling guide contains information about the process of moving internationally. The basics of what people need to know during the first two years after relocating are covered. Several topics are discussed--Medical, Schools, Banking, Housing, Work, and Transportation to name a few.
