“If She Can Do It, So Can I”
What happens when a small town, Montana woman decides to jump, without a net, into a new life in tropical paradise and a foreign world of unknown parameters? It’s surprising, it’s scary and it’s a whole lot of fun! I’m Lisa Valencia and In September of 2007, I took that leap. My book, “If She Can Do It, So Can I !” chronicles two years of personal experience and gives an unbiased, insiders view of what it’s really like in Costa Rica.
This compelling and informative book begins with ambivalent feelings about leaving and moving to Costa Rica, but my enthusiasm for the future outweighs an attachment to the past and I lunge forward, learning Spanish, maneuvering through San Jose, and finally making my way out to the Caribbean to build a life of my own creative design.
I tell of my triumphs and I spare you no tears in an effort to be genuine and give a clear picture of Costa Rica culture and living. Intermixed in my adventures is good, common sense information – Costa Rica facts you can learn only by living here – such as where to go, what to avoid, cultural counsel and how to make the most of your time in this magical place. With my experience as your guide you’ll discover the essential information for anyone interested in Costa Rica. But, more entertaining than a guide book, this book recounts amusing mishaps learning a new language, the disconcerting feeling of always having to watch your back, internal questions aroused by the challenges of going it alone and so much more. My book will give you a head start on your way to Costa Rica and soon you’ll be thinking, “If she can do it, so can I.”

WHY BUY THE AUDIO VERSION?
A quality is captured through the telling of the tale that cannot be perceived through the written word. The voice, with it’s lilt and inflections carries an energy which conveys the spirit of the event. And no one can tell it better than the one who has lived it. As I personally recount my adventures to you, my welcoming voice invites you into the experience and you are transported to a tropical wonderland.
The title, If She Can do It, So Can I comes from the recurring theme of triumph over adversity. The stories are good. The content is interesting and the narration is easy to listen to. I say this as an avid listener of audio books. I have been using them for years to make traveling more fun. An audio book can take you to another world and make tedious waiting time in an airport, on a plane or driving in a car, go by before you know it. So sit down, relax and let me tell you a story.
