Jackie Minchillo is a freelance writer and public relations consultant. A native of Michigan, USA, Jackie now lives in Playa Langosta, Costa Rica with her Husband and their “famous” surfing dog, Harvey. On a quest for true freedom, a life that doesn’t require vacation, but embraces it and a level of simplicity that allows life’s truest joys to shine - she left behind an agency career, and sold all of her belongings to see the world long before retirement. She has a double bachelor’s degree in public relations and broadcast journalism from Central Michigan University. Jackie’s now focused on her adventures navigating life in a foreign country, learning to speak Spanish and developing her passion for photography. In hopes that her adventures will inspire others in some way, she’s writing all about it at www.daywelllived.com. Pura Vida!
