Between jobs in sales (Deputy Sales Manager MM and later Publicitas) I always enjoyed traveling. So it was that I wanted to take some time off, fulfilled a dream and traveled lengthways and across South and Central America from 1989 to 1990. Not only did I enjoy the incredible beauty of these countries, it also gave me a good knowledge of the Spanish language.
One of the travel destinations was of course Costa Rica at some point and so it was that I was in San Jose on June 21, 1990 to indulge in my beloved hobby with friends: football! That evening it was time to get excited together in front of the TV because Costa Rica was playing against Sweden. And that's when I met him, the reason for my emigration to Costa Rica: my future wife Lorna!
Yes, and I have been living in this wonderful country since 1996, I am still happy and content about it, I now have a son who was born in 2001 and I have had Costa Rican citizenship since 1999.
Why and how can I help you?
Since my emigration, which began in 1990, I have been able to gain a lot of experience.
Partly with a lot of effort, with idle time, repetitions, unnecessary tuition payments, painful learning processes, endless queuing, but also with the help of old and new friends, I asked, annoyed and worked my way through all offices and institutions on my own and from the ground up in the end to be able to lead an organized life in Costa Rica. Completely legal, with all the necessary permits, papers, the Costa Rican passport, a home, land, a company and an infrastructure like I imagined. It was a lengthy process, but incredibly educational.
With my knowledge, I have been helping emigrants, visitors to Costa Rica, investors or real estate buyers and sellers to save themselves effort, costs and hassle for many years now, because today I know every administrative procedure, every necessary paper, the right people and I am always on hand up to date with changes to the law and new regulations.
So if you want, I can shorten this strenuous part of your emigration, your stay in Costa Rica, your investment or the purchase of real estate and save you a lot of trouble and paying a lot of money.
And languages are no problem: German, Spanish, English and Italian – so communication will go smoothly...
