Seeking to move/work in Costa Rica

8 years ago

I believe the good forces upon this Earth are calling me to S. America. I have been thinking Costa Rica and although I am not 100% sure,
I just know I have heard a voice in my mind say a few times now, "It's time to get ready to pack up the bags and leave this place."
So here I am. I don't really know much about Costa Rica so I have been trying to find out via online about laws, owning property, more specifically (am I just show up in a sailboat and forage off the land?) or finding jobs in Costa Rica.
Since I am posting this anyway I thought I would list a little about myself and my work since this is a Costa Rica forum and hey- someone might need help right? Miracles can happen.

I am a 28 year old male and currently live in Texas with a wife and three children.
How can I say this without screaming in desperation towards anyone who can... HHHHAAAALLLPPP.
No wait.. this is real. I am screaming in desperation towards anyone who can help.
It's funny how in such a state of panic the human anatomy can become so calm and even sarcastic yet still realizing, "oh bud, uh yeah, reality check, we better get a move on. NOW"

The time is late..
Do you know what I mean?
My wife and I are fearing for our life in many ways and know that we cannot make a permanent home in TX.
We foresee war, economic collapse, and a jihad invasion (already happening in TEXAS!) and hoping by some chance to meet someone able to help us.
I do not know how we are going to get out being stuck in this slave system with jobs becoming more scarce around where we live.
We do not have much money or the support from any relatives..
Most of our money goes to just maintaining ourself and rent/ utilities. It is extremely hard to save.
But we are trustworthy, honest and believe in; Do to your neighbor as you want done unto you.
And to have compassion and forgiveness.
We are one year old herbivores (vegans) + milk and cheese eaters. No flesh here.. unless it's a mango! lol :D
I grew up in a small south texas town near Victoria, she grew up in a big city near Austin.
We are hardworkers.
We love the natural and simple lifestyle.
We try not to harm or kill any living creature even ones that are harmful to us.
I am definitely willing to work for food and lodging only and don't even expect anything more.
Anything to get out of the US. I'm telling yal.. I have such a bad feeling about being here.

I had been a sushi chef for 8 years but have experience and skill in many trades.. now doing awesome restaurant worthy vegan food!!
*Restaurant Service/Management
*Sushi Chef @ top restaurants like Shoji Sushi Miami South Beach plus chains like Benihana
*Home Remodeling/ Repair
*Golf Instructor
*Elementary School Aide/Afterschool teacher (solo managed up to 30 kids for a few hours 3PM-6PM)
*Organic Gardener
*Professional Gamer

For the last year I have worked to sustain myself and family through organic gardening and selling at the farmer's market.
I believe I did well for my first outdoor garden ever but nothing near being able to uproot and move to Costa Rica without knowing anyone. I have learned heaps of information on 'organics' and horticulture.
I can also do any type of data entry, am a wiz with computers.. Can type 90wpm almost flawlessly..
I have been a professional gamer in my spare time, just haven't won grand salaries..
Won District Golf 2x in a row. Consistently used to shoot +1/-+5 over par on 18 hole courses and I can definitely teach golf. I took lessons from a pro for years out of San Antonio, Texas.
Went to the University of Texas @ Austin Longhorns.
Even the National Honor Society Vice President!
Basically I can do anything! I'm super versatile and dedicated.
I love art and did I mention I AM A MUSICIAN.

Blonde haired, greenish blue eyed white guy (only mentioning this because.. yes.. I am 100% gringo from 10 miles away)..

PS.

I have not lived my life for money.. here I am.
Help me, as a refugee out of what I fear will soon be a warzone.
If I was single I'd probably stay.. but I have a family I have to look over. Three of them less than four years old.
