About
My name is Jake Woods. I moved to Heredia, Costa Rica a little over a year ago and it is the best decision that I have ever made. I moved here with my girlfriend from Kansas (she is a Tica) after she graduated from KU.
My life is a little different than most of the other norteamericanos (gringos) that come to study or visit. Unfortunately, I don’t get to live the life of a tourist so my days are not very exciting or eventful. I still have to go to work…god damnit! While it is exciting to live in another country, most people tend to think that their lives will change drastically when they move. I promise that you still have to do the mundane things that you are used to doing, only with added difficulty, but that’s where the fun comes in, right?!
Feel free to email me with any questions that you may have about Costa Rica!
