After my first trip to Costa Rica I had a similiar experience which many first time visitors seem to be affected with upon there return to the states.

"My life is phucked forever!"

"I must move to Costa Rica tommorow!"

"My life will never be the same again!"

"I can never look at another gringa again!"

"My life would be perfect as soon as I move to Costa Rica!"

Those are a few of the thoughts running through my head after my second trip and I really thought "my life was phucked!" at that time.

My last trip to Costa Rica was in September of '06 and I have long since been free of any and all thoughts related to the withdrawal and illusions many of us suffer from after our first trip.

Are you still phucked?

What are some of the crazy thoughts and/or ideas wreaking havoc on your life upon your first visit?

Life is good.

I try to keep it all in its proper perspective. I don't think I would want to live in CR. After 30 days there, I'm usually ready to come home....but after 5 months here in the U.S., I'm ready to go back to CR. It makes for a nice balance.

Just about all of us I think go through that "first few trips" ecstasy. And I'm not sure it's Costa Rica really per se, but rather just the experience of mongering in a foreign country with everything it has to offer.

But I've long since gotten past the "John the Baptist" syndrome, and now am able to look at it in a much more nuanced way, seeing both the good and the bad. And though I no longer feel that my life would suddenly be perfect and all my problems go away the moment I move there, I'm still convinced I want to at least retire in a Latin American country, and that on balance I would be happier.

Now, I am back in the game!

Well, My life is definitley different than 5 years ago when I was married raising a family but I have been single about well over 4 years and after the initial crazziness of discovering CR and international hobbying life still goes on. I wish could locate out of the country but am lucky to be able to travel about 8 times a year out of country and take care of bussiness at home. I don't date in the US but do have a somewhat serious civilain novia in Peru and there is something to be said for the real girlfreind. However I still have the desire to be free to hobby and I don't know if that will ever pass. Before my discovery I think I may could have settled down to a normal lasting relationship again but in reality I think I was ready for this new lifestyle.rbc100

I won’t say just Costa Rica as after so many trips there, the novelty factor is pretty much over, plus having to rub shoulders with the tree hugging crowd is a detriment as well. I perfer anywhere there is an endless supply of good looking, young, fun, little hotties, readily available such as Thailand, the Philippines, and Latin America is preferable to Gringalandia. Heck, it is even earsier to get lucky in Ireland or Australia than it is in the U.S.

Since coming to that sad realization, the thought of dating Gringas is a total waste of time as is going to strip clubs, so aside from my trips abroad, I am not having a whole lot of fun here. But the good news is that I manage to leave the States 2 to 4 times a year.

My goal is to find a job that would let me be located in a remote location such as Panama City so that I could reap the best of both worlds.

YO Bones:

You have evolved from the "got to live in CR" syndrom indeed. A number of fellows on this forum who are thinking about living in CR should consider the advantage of being in a better infrastructure such a PC,P. Only a puddle jump to CR and northern South America.

Especially ones who need to still work to pay expenses. Panama offers a lot of perks to home buyers, transportation and other services for gringos relocating there. CR does not offer shit.....except more available working chicas. Hell of lot less expensive if you want to freight your car there also.

No, I'm not trying to sell Panama but there is absolutely nothing that would entice me to move to CR. Visit yes, live there no.

I've been drinking vodka every day for 45 years and I have certainly never found it to be habit forming.

I think you'll find that most first timers to a foreign location think of all the above...but after becoming "seasoned" things change.

My life will never be the same and I have givin up American Women totally because of my travels.....but moving to a 2nd or 3rd world country is something i would definitely think twice about.
Immersing yourself into a culture is much more than just spending a couple of weeks in a 3 sq mile area of San Jose

It had a big effect on me. It is strange to because I have been mongering all my life. I guess there is something different about the qauility. Stephanie and Natasha at ZB were the first three some where the girls did not fake it. My first time in the del ray I was scared and left. I had never been around such aggressive girls. My 2nd trip was different. I have been to whore houses in Vegas. Could not find any in Ireland. Went into a scham joint in Piccadally circus in London. Checked out the street sceen in Rome. Did not try any. Was there with family. A few years ago in PI had a great couple of days. But I feel different after CR. Now when I dream of winning the Lotto it is where to live outside the US. That I can take my K*ds with me too. It is CR or PI. They would rather go to CR.

I think I realized how tired I was of the life I was living. And that I had never really done what I wanted. I started shooting Herion at 13 and had to deal with addiction. Got out of prision after 5 years straight at 32. Was on paper untill 35 and married a pen pal at 36. Things went well for about 5 years. I was faithfull, got elected to a position at the union hall, then started a bussiness, Our third Ch*ld died at birth and it seems that my idea of a loving God got lost. Then who I am as a person and what do I want.

I want to try the foreign living. I want to go someplace where I can Phuck lots of pretty young girls. Where I exercise, Diet right, and do not need blood preasure meds.

I read hear how alot of the guys who relocate loose weight and have read it other places as well. And I need to get this sex thing out of my system. Get to much. Or I think it is like drugs. When you do not have any you are always wanting some. But when you have a pocket full then you think about it less and can enjoy other things. I feel like that about sex. So, What I just said is have a steady peice at home that when I have the urge I can play with. That is called marriage or something like it. I just do not want that ever again. But I still want to play with a perk nipple or taste a hot pu*sy. Or stick my finger in a ass.

So, did CR screw me up? I do not know. Did it show me another world where there are lots of people like me? Yes.

What is the answer? Ole VB. I respect the way he lives and lets live. The way he does what he wants when he wants and does not need anybodys approval.

I guess I saw another way in CR. Is it for me? Do I have the balls to try it? We shall see.

Take a walk on the wild side.

Having recently made my first voyage to CR I definately have a new perspective. I have mongered in Europe and Brasil and here in the U.S. (Miami, NYC, Vegas, ATL). But never had I gone on a trip with absolutely no other agenda or objective.
It was good fun. Pure vice. The drinks, the gambling, the women. Did not stay long enough but will be back in less than 2 months. Will stay a little longer (3 nights) which I think is appropriate. I do not need to see the countryside or visit museums while there. No need to go the beach, we have that here. I will see ZB, NF, HDR, SL, and perhaps PR (depending on how me and the other's Spanish learning progresses). Hopefully some other places I will learn about from the CRT's down there.
Sure, I think about CR and look forward to returing. It's closer from South Florida than NYC or Chicago. And I spend a decent amount of time on this forum and texting my wingmen about our return. But I would not say my life here is phucked. I have not written off American women (although I am somewhat disenchanted with them at present which led to CR trip #1). And even if I hit the Florida lotto tomorrow, I would not be looking to relocate to CR.
To each his own.......(but I am very much looking forward to getting back Labor Day weekend even if I will miss the UM-Marshall matchup). I suppose it may be on in the Sportsbook at the Marozon?

Coming to CR was the single most important event in my life since my 15 year marriage collapsed in late '05. Here are three reasons why...

Suddenly single, with zero game, I had to relearn how to chat up a woman. What better place to do that than the HDR! Success guaranteed! Phoney of course as it is, it was a good place to brush up on skills necessary to work the gringas. And yes I work em good between CR trips (SHHHH)

Like most marriages that are careering towards their death, my sex life was close to non existant for the last few years. Now all of sudden - unlimited sex with beautiful young women. Night and day difference. . The first BBBJCIM in May 06 at the Balmoral was almost a religious experience for me. I had been denied this for so long. (And that BBBJCIM girl will be waiting for me at the airport tomorrow to do it again 14 months later. My first HDR chica turned out to be a real sweetheart - I guess I cashed in some karma)

Like many, I had a dirty little secret. I was a "closet" mongerer. The HDR is to mongerers what the Stonewall Inn was to homosexuals. A place to come out of the closet, relax and be ourselves among brothers who share an interest in something not socially acceptable at home. I've met a shitload of fascinating guys and even made a few good friends. Can't share my mongering exploits with my old "married" friends now, can I?


So yeah I guess I was PHUCKED. Would I move there full time? YES. When Jr goes off to college. For now a trip every month will suffice.....BUT

...I'm hearing so many good things about Colombia

I can remember feeling the same way.

You tell my story, my brother. I think that you identified with my similar posts earlier, as well. Good to know that CR has a tonic like effect on many of us who are recently divorced and recovering from a broken heart and seemingly shattered life.

My marriage broke up in late 2004 and I began to throw myself into my work, my only reservoir of self worth. Soon after I discovered CR last year, I forgot what the the bitch (ex wife) looked like. I never even think of her any more.

Mongering vacations are not an end all, but I can tell you that the time I spend in CR is probably the happiest time I have had in many years. Even the time I spend thinking about going there helps to sustain me.

An additional benefit, being a 'closet' mongerer like you, is that since I found Costa Rica, I rarely monger at all. Makes the trips to CR even more affordable.
