Testimonials

I currently own a home in Costa Rica and have been visiting since 2004. I am not a full time resident but spend about 5 months a year in Costa Rica. The book offers a realistic (not sugar coated) view of what to expect. As duly noted it is a beautiful and relaxing place, although it is not the most inexpensive place to live, especially in the "tourist" or beach areas. The recommendations regarding learning Spanish are spot on. It is a good motivational and well layed out plan to follow your dreams., whether to Costa Rica or wherever your dreams may lead.

This book is more than just an inspirational read—it’s a practical blueprint for change. I picked up Get Me to Costa Rica! because I was tired of the same routine: working hard, living for the weekends, and feeling like my dreams were always ‘someday.’ From the very first chapter, Layne Balke speaks directly to that frustration and shows you that freedom isn’t some far-off fantasy—it’s something you can plan, prepare for, and actually achieve in just one year.

What makes this book stand out is how actionable it is. Layne doesn’t just say ‘follow your dreams’—he gives you a step-by-step plan with goal-setting exercises, financial planning advice, and even a companion journal that helps you track your progress every week. It felt less like reading and more like having a mentor walk me through the process.

Sarah M., Verified Reader

Layne Balke spent more than 35 years building a career and raising a family in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Yet through all those years of business schedules, meetings and city life, he carried a constant dream to live somewhere tropical, near the ocean, where life moved at a different pace.

That dream began to take shape when, in a single year, ten of his clients vacationed in Costa Rica. Without exception, each returned saying, “If we could, we’d sell it all and move here.” Their words struck a chord. Layne realized he didn’t want to keep saying “someday” he wanted to start living it.

With courage and faith, he made the move to Costa Rica, trading routine for renewal and discovering a lifestyle defined by freedom, simplicity, and connection.

Through his books and journals, Layne now shares his journey and lessons learned, showing others that the life you long for is closer than you think and with the right plan, you can make it real too.

Your new life starts today.
