Have you ever rolled over, hit the snooze button, and wanted to blow off work—forever?
Nadine did just that and quickly found herself fording crocodile infested rivers and bribing border police. It wasn't what she expected but even while jumping out of bed and tossing stinging scorpions into the air, it was still better than a day at the office.
Happier Than a Billionaire: Quitting My Job, Moving to Costa Rica, and Living the Zero Hour Work Week, is a lighthearted narrative for anyone who has ever dreamed of getting out of the office and starting over.
Much like Frances Mayes in Tuscany and Peter Mayle in Provence, Nadine too faced many challenges. Whether dealing with Dolores the Dog Lady, her uninvited neighbor who pees on her lawn to get closer to nature, or Jim the Jehovah witness with fourteen aliases and two passports, Costa Rica introduced her to a medley of characters and situations she could never have prepared for. It turned out becoming a Central American diva was harder than it looked.
But with all its challenges, you'll learn why Costa Rica is ranked as one of the happiest places on earth—and you to may want to taste the Pura Vida lifestyle.
