Who Buys in Costa Rica

What’s the best place to live in Costa Rica?

Will I like living there?

I get these questions all the time. I find that most people, after visiting for a couple weeks, have a pretty good idea if they will like living here or not.  Now of course, some people move here and ultimately decide it’s not for them and go home.  But I have to be honest with you, very few.  Especially if they do their due diligence BEFORE they move.

People ask me all the time, What is it like to live in Costa Rica?

I tell them AWESOME! I live in paradise. “But don’t you miss things about the USA?” I always chuckle at that question. Miss what? Traffic, Smog, noise, snow? Bad attitudes, insane taxes, high cost of living? Daily bombardment of Politics, $20 to park my car and $9 for a Heineken? Nope I don’t miss any of that.
