Yes, Costa Rica was also an option. Our trip there last time was an effort to do a field check :-D.
In the end we chose Philippine because it's nearer to Indonesia and the visa deposit requires less money.

new home, new job, new role as a parent... New situations and challenges every day :)

Oh...yess, for sure. home relocation is always a huge project and lots of hassles plus stress, regardless to where.
Especially when you have a family and children :).

Hope you guys are enjoying your new life in one of those countries that are called the tropical paradise!

Thank you... likewise, we also wish you a good time in your new home with your family.
I hope it will also bring more happiness to you all.
