Gary Sherriff, was invited to Costa Rica in 1994 by his now wife, Sylvia, a native Costa Rican whom he met in Spain. After falling in love with the girl, the family and the country, he immediately emigrated.
For the first 2 years he owned and managed restaurants which lead to him accepting a position as General Manager of a bustling 104 room Hotel, serving North Americans, in the Heart of the Capital, San Jose.
During the 3 years in the hotel trade, Gary was approached by many foreign visitors looking for help with a business in CR. Recognizing the need for a culture liaison service, he started work freelancing and has helped in the formation of, amongst others, the projects listed below.
