As I get closer to the move, I get apprehensive, but speaking with Patrice made me confident that I am making the right decision. Patrice was wonderful. She was very easy to talk to and was very well prepared. She answered all of my specific questions and raised many other topics I had not been aware of. For example our discussion regarding purchasing a vehicle in Costa Rica was an eye opener and definitely more complicated than I thought.
Since my sessions with Patrice I’m feeling excited about my move again and I’m so grateful. I would recommend working with Patrice 1000%.

I was feeling overwhelmed before the session. Patrice listened to my situation and broke it down into sections and action steps. She gave me structure which I really needed and told me to think about all the practical details like cost of living in different countries and the cost of housing and transport. I am feeling calmer and more hopeful about my relocation adventure and project now. I highly recommend working with Patrice if you are thinking about relocating because she will give you practical steps to take and open you up to think about your move from many different angles.

I approached Patrice to help me with my move because I was feeling unsure about so many unknowns. I read so much conflicting information online it was confusing. I wanted to know from someone who already made the move and has real experience living in Costa Rica. I'm so glad I did, Patrice was insightful and very helpful on a numnber of topics, from rentals, to healthcare and the visa and border run process.
Our conversation about downsizing really helped me see my 'stuff' from a different angle and I'm clear now on what to bring, what not to and how to get it there. I'm so much more relaxed and confident about planning my move now. If you're on the fence just do it, work with her. It's worth it for the peace of mind!
