What did she find at the end? She’ll tell you all about it below.

"Is this really a road?"
Suzan couldn’t believe it, and neither could I. We'd just gotten married in San Jose, Costa Rica, and we were spending our honeymoon driving around the country in a rented 4x4.
Somehow we ended up on what looked and felt like a 6-foot-wide, 20-mile-long bombing range running along Costa Rica’s incredible Pacific coast.
The farm fields we were driving past looked smoother. The little SUV could have disappeared in some of those potholes.
That was 11 years ago, and, believe it or not, it turned out to be the best road trip I’ve ever taken.
Pavement would have made it even better, though, and now I hear of improved roads in southern Costa Rica. Not only that...but a new airport, as well.
Rumors of roads and airports are as common as sand on the beach in Central America, but there might be something to this, and if it's true, it could mean huge opportunity for living and investment. Read more about it below.
