OS51: Stephen & Theresa – Following Our Dreams, One Breadcrumb At A Time

We're three weeks into our Costa Rica adventure, exploring and enjoying this gorgeous country. And, quite consciously, we're considering this special place as a future home for our family. We've felt called here, through various channels. In many ways, it feels right and true to be here. Much feels aligned to who we are and our values. But, as far as a specific place to be (i.e. city or town), we've yet to find it. What we find interesting is how clearly we have been led to Santa Teresa, Costa Rica and how, after being here awhile, it's clearly not the place for us. What it is is another breadcrumb along the path, leading us somewhere - a "where" that isn't exactly clear yet. And so, we are here in Costa Rica, actively looking and exploring and have yet to find a spot that really rings the bell. Sure, there is plenty more travel to come - Dominical/Uvita, Samara/Nosara, Tamarindo. But, we felt it would be valuable to drop into this space with you and share about how the quest of pursuing your dreams looks like after you've departed and...before you've arrived. We present here a very candid and true portrait - in real time - of a young, western family adapting to life in another country on the hunt for a place we can truly call home. All the challenges and conditions that naturally emerge when you go for it, but aren't there yet. For people who long for another way of life, but who might be hesitant - we hope to share here a behind the scenes view of what it actually looks like. Our aim is to encourage you to go for it, but to also know what to fully expect as you depart the old for the new. Enjoy!
