Making a Pura Vida Dream Possible I don't know how we would have been able to settle into our Pura Vida as well as we did without Zach, Anna, and the Start Abroad team. We can't recommend them enough. When we first came up with the dream of relocating our whole family, including 2 kids under 4, it was just that a dream. We knew Costa Rica was the destination, but that was about it. Zach and Anna helped coach us through all we needed in order to find a town, community, apartment, school, car, and more. They made sure someone was there at the airport(s) to pick up us and our mountains of luggage. They were a WhatsApp away when we had random questions and concerns. Thank you Zach and Anna for making this dream a reality. We

Concierge service a steal As a concierge client Start Abroad handled every necessary detail for a successful purchase of property in Portugal and pathway to the Golden Visa. I am on my way! Time was everything for me and the concierge fee was well worth the price and in fact was a "steal" given that they handled every detail from property assessment, all in-country expertise including buyer's realtors, specialist attorneys, hotels, car rentals etc. I was able to avail myself of all the necessary services including that Zach accompanied me in Portugal. In so doing it helped me manage my time and focus. Additionally, it was fun along the way.

Great job bring our dog down Moving from Toronto to Costa Rica has been challenging but ultimately very much worth it so far. One of the obstacles was how to bring our large dog Ruby, down to CR. I was referred to StartAbroad and had many discussions with Anna regarding how we can get Ruby down to CR without breaking the bank even before we had spent a dollar on her services. Many options were outrageously expensive so we decided to let the pros figure out a way that was affordable. After much research and phone calls and super hard work, Anna was able to get Ruby down at a fraction of the cost with constant follow ups and updates. We highly recommend StartAbroad for all your pet transport needs.

Huge Time Saver! I highly recommend StartAbroad's services. Anna and Zach took the time to fully understand our situation and moving needs and showed a genuine interest in helping make our move as pain-free as possible. Their services saved us a huge amount of time, enabling us to focus on caring for and preparing our 1 year old for an international move. Our move would have been so much more complicated without their help. Thank you StartAbroad!

Highly Recommend StartAbroad! My wife Debbie and I connected with StartAbroad to help us with receiving our Costa Rica Digital Nomad visas. This involves a fairly complicated application and interviiew process, most of which is conducted in Spanish. Working with Zach and Anna has been a dream - they explained everything clearly and completely, assisted us in completing the applications and filed them on our behalves, gave clear indication of what the various steps and costs would be, and scheduled our final in-person interviews according to the availability dates we provided them. The entire process went very smoothly - even when there were a couple of small hiccups, Zach and Anna engaged the Immigration Department and made sure it all worked out. We've both successfully received our visas at this point - I can't thank StartAbroad enough, and recoommend them wholeheartedly! ~ Tony Valentino
