The Founding of Monteverde. I live in paradise. It is truly heavenly in more ways than I can count. Monteverde is not only breathtakingly beautiful and strategically adapted for people to see it in all its splendor, but it is also a sustainable and supportive society. Here I feel incredibly safe. The community sense is powerful, and although I thoroughly enjoy my solitude, I am never truly alone.  

As a naturalist tour guide in Costa Rica and as the nomad I am, I've lived in several different places in and out of my country. There is nothing like Monteverde. It is as simple as that. At least not for me. 

In a previous article, I told you all about the meandering path that brought me from chilly Canada to sunny Costa Rica. Judging from the number of happy expats that I’ve met since my story isn’t as uncommon as you might think.
