Well I’ve already started the process for becoming a resident of Costa Rica not in Nicoya but in the southern zone on the Pacific. I still travel back and forth to the US and notice subtle changes in my health when I’m back in the states. Stuffy nose, slowed elimination and more irritability. I have been vegan for about 4 years and have had positive changes in my health and well being. However I find it much harder and a lot more expensive to eat clean here in the states. When I’m in CR I shop Weds, Friday, Sat and Tuesday at the farmer’s market and spend less than $100 for all the produce, kombucha and grains I need for the week. One stop at a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods or even the farmer’s market here is a lot more than that and will probably only pay for two meals! And I don’t know about TJ‘s, but I’ve read that whole foods organic produce mostly comes from China and that is not certifiably organic. Anyway I do the best I can when here and I imagine in NYC it’s even harder! I’m about to go to the EU for a month and trying to decide if I should stick with strictly vegan or “ when in Rome do as the Romans do!” What do you think?
