Description

Join us as we dive into the incredible journey of Benoit Saumier, a former IT professional for the Canadian Government, who left it all behind for a new life in Costa Rica. During the pandemic, Benoit and his wife took a stand by supporting the Canadian trucker convoys, distributing cannabis to truckers as a form of protest. This act of defiance, coupled with their growing disillusionment with government policies, led them to seek a fresh start in Costa Rica.

After a fact-finding trip to this tropical paradise, Benoit and his wife were met with harsh penalties upon their return to Canada, including a staggering $1 million fine for breaking re-entry protocols. This was the final push they needed to make the move permanent. Now, they have created a beautiful retreat in Costa Rica, where Benoit's wife practices as a health coach, helping others on their wellness journeys.

Tune in to hear the trials and triumphs of their relocation, the challenges they faced with the Canadian government, and how they ultimately found peace and purpose in Costa Rica. This episode is a must-listen for anyone considering a major life change, seeking freedom, or curious about the expat experience in Costa Rica.
