Hi,
My husband and I are investigating the idea of moving with our four children to San Juan del Sur. My brother-in-law already lives there and owns a Canadian bar, so we have someone on the ground to help us out.
One thing that he doesn't really know much about is how we can apply our own areas of expertise into a business/job. My husband is a software consultant who helps car dealerships grow their business, and he has been a GM of high-end restaurants before that. I am an author who has written several books on homesteading and sustainable agriculture.
We want to own some acreage and do organic farming, and we are thinking that we would offer accommodations and food. However, we don't have TON of money to invest - we do have a lot of kids and live in the most expensive part of Canada so savings builds slowly. It would be nice to have a secondary income safety net there as well. Is there a need for organic agriculture/permaculture consulting or teaching? Or business consulting?
I've looked into teaching English and it doesn't look like something that can reliably support a family. Is that correct?
Thanks very much!
Cheers,
Nicole
