I had the opportunity to sit down with Rob Ingalls on his podcast. Abay and Alma are core ingredients to the story that still impact how I see the world today.

I met Jamie at a Meetup in November 2015. He was a corporate lawyer-turned-restauranteur who was fresh off a Costa Rican sabbatical with his fam

Here's an update as to what we've been up to. http://www.findyourcostarica.com/costa-rica-one-year-later/

I promised to write a post that provides a financial breakdown detailing how much a sabbatical costs. This will be that post. Before I get into the minutiae of budgets and spreadsheets, however, let me offer a general perspective one year later.

I'm now involved with the Union Kitchen based startup Jerk Central. Given the nature of the business concept and the potential to incorporate African and Latin American products, I haven’t strayed too far from my Abay and Alma Pan-Latin Kitchen roots. www.jerkcentral.com

Our Marinades and Dry Rubs are made in small batches ensuring that the freshest product is delivered to your door. Give us a try on your favorite meats and you'll fi…

Here's the latest blog post. This time around, enjoy the unique perspective of guest blogger Heather Brent. http://www.findyourcostarica.com/what-i-learned-in-costa-rica/

As our sabbatical is coming to a close, my wife has expressed the desire to offer her own perspective on this experience. Instead of detailing it in 17 posts, she has summarized it in 1. Therein lies the difference between a lawyer and an engineer. So, without further adieu, I give you the thoughts…

Costa Rica's Caribbean coast has a fascinating history. Here's a new post about our visit there. http://www.findyourcostarica.com/the-complete-list-of-reasons-why-you-shouldnt-visit-limon/

I had been meaning to write about our trip to Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast for a while. It sounds laughable to me even as I’m composing this thought (and even more laughable to you if you’re reading this in the midst of your busy schedule of working and running your kids to practices, games, and rec…

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take a bus from Costa Rica to Nicaragua with a 4 year old in tow? Wonder no longer.http://www.findyourcostarica.com/traveling-to-nicaragua-from-costa-rica/

We viewed the requirement for non-residents to leave Costa Rica every 90 days more as a blessing than as a curse. As folks who are always up for an adventure, we wanted to visit neighboring countries anyway. Having already driven to Panama, the country which borders Costa Rica to the south, we decid…

Although it took me a little while to pull together, here's the latest blog post. http://www.findyourcostarica.com/christmas-in-costa-rica/

My parents, sister, and her children visited us during the holidays. In a country that is about 90% Christian (of one denomination or another), Christmas and Easter are Costa Rica’s two most important holidays. As such, Heather and I were somewhat concerned that large crowds and long lines could adv…

Considering a sabbatical? Here's a step-by-step guide to make it a reality. http://www.findyourcostarica.com/costa-rica-a-cautionary-tale-part-2/

I intended to publish Part 2 of A Cautionary Tale shortly after Part 1. But I was too busy planning for my family’s holiday visit (and subsequently too busy having fun with them) to sit down and write. We had one adventure after the next during their time here. Look out for a future post about that…

If you examine just about any destination in the world, you will find it has both desirable and undesirable qualities. As we began our inquiries into Costa Rica, we were somewhat surprised at the amount of discouraging information we discovered. Don’t get me wrong. There are scores of websites touti…

If you were wondering how to navigate a land crossing between Costa Rica and Panama, here you go. http://www.findyourcostarica.com/crossing-the-costa-rican-border-into-panama/

One of the excellent questions we have been asked throughout this process is how we are able to stay in another country for one year without being citizens or residents of that country. If you are a U.S. citizen, or a citizen of a number of other countries, you do not need a visa to enter Costa Rica…

I took a few weeks off. Here's the newest blog entry. http://www.findyourcostarica.com/buying-a-car-in-costa-rica/

One of the aspects of this sabbatical I fretted over the most was what to do about transportation for the year we would be in Costa Rica. If we were going to have a car, it was important that it be even more reliable here than back home in Pittsburgh. I was haunted by images of us being broken down…
