Why to live in Costa Rica, why to emigrate to Costa Rica or stay for a long time?


Why live in Costa Rica as an expat, emigrant or working nomad?

  • because of the relatively easy language so you can quickly make yourself understood.
  • because of the friendly and often hospitable inhabitants.
  • because of the enormous amount of beautiful islands and beaches.
  • because of the activities you can do in nature or under water.
  • because of the coffee culture and its social life.
  • because of the tropical fruits.
  • because of the relatively high standard of living and good health care.
  • because of the eternal spring climate and tropical environment.
  • because of the relative safety.

What should you pay attention to?

  • that in Costa Rica you need to be patient when arranging everything. The pace in Costa Rica is different than in the Netherlands.
  • that with longer stays you may have to deal with earthquakes or tropical storms.
  • that a strike (which occur regularly) can affect transportation, fuel supplies and other government services.
  • that that "helpful passerby," when you get a flat tire along the way, may well have plans not only to help you but to rob you.
  • that tropical diseases are present in parts of the country (vaccinations!)
