How much do I spend on vegetarian diet if i cook myself? Any other info that you feel should be good for me(an Indian) , outside for first time.

The folks at this site will provide you with a lot of information. Have them call you and ask them to mail it to you.

They also have wonderful beach front land at unbelievable prices. You don't need to buy anything, just let them provide you with details.

Answer 4

You can live very well with $800 a month specially if your single, Costa Ric is also a paradise for vegetarians since they are fresh and very cheap, a large variety and easily found.

A vegetarian meal cooked by yourself would cost pennies.

Learning spanish is helpfull, even though many speak and understand basic english.

If you can survive on $800 a month in America- you'll definately make it there- if this internship is a dream for you- take it- you don't have many oppurtunities like that!

Answer 6

Yes you can survive on $800 a month in Costa Rica. You can live modestly but not luxuriously with that. Remember to look in the Spanish newspapers for a place to stay, and shop at Spanish places for locals. English places have the prices higher for tourists

Answer 7

i live with $600 a month. food here is really cheap. on the weekends on the towns or cities we have a vegetable markets that the veggies and the fruits is even cheaper and juicier...

Answer 8

You don't need $800.00 to "survive" in Costa Rica.

On $600.00 USD a month you can live like a King!

Especially if you live around Quepos on the Pacific Side of CR where you can reant a nice apartment from $250.00 - $300.00 per month.

Good Luck!

and VIVA LA PURA VIDA!
