Building a business in North America can be tough — building a business in Costa Rica with children (and limited funds) is on a completely different level. That didn’t stop Bobby and Shelley Workman, though. This American couple from North Carolina quit their jobs, moved their three daughters to Central America and built a set of villas in Costa Rica, doing much of the work themselves in order to cut costs.Life in Costa Rica with Children
Now nestled into a verdant cove on the Pacific side of the country, the Workman’s live their lives on their own terms, managing a place they designed themselves, and establishing schooling programs for their girls and other children in the area. In addition to discussing how they built their business, we talk about:

- Their recommendations for traveling families in Costa Rica with children
