I moved to CR last summer and I will not mention how much money we have spent on this endeavor (a lot) buttttttt, I don't regret it at all. It is definitely cheaper to live her than it is where I used to live in FL, but there are certainly cheaper places to live in the world.
That said, I have no regrets. I am living a better quality of life, both physically and mentally and I have met wonderful people. I will be moving to another part of CR in a couple months, which will cut down on monthly expenses.
Another thing I will say my consumption/acquisition of things has gone down so much by living here simply because things are hard to get or too expensive. I don't buy what I don't need, which is way different than life in the US where you just buy something cuz it's cheap or because you felt like in in the moment.
Since no one else is commenting I will again. I'm in super hot, dry Las Vegas. There is nothing here in nature that is appealing. Well the abundance you mention is attractive. But I am sensitive to humidity. The coast is out for me. I am also sensitive to the socio-political environment and it is terrible and decline here in America. So, I've two big motivations. I lived in Mexico and can get by in Spanish. None of the expat tubers mention the native people and the language issues. Making friends is important in the long run. Are there cool places in the mountains? I don't care if they're small and only Spanish is spoken. I also don't care about merging with the expat community...Thanks.
Language is Spanish but a lot of people ( especially service industry folks) are bi or tri - lingual also LOTS of expats from everywhere
Yes you can find lots of cool places in the mountains but don’t expect to escape the humidity
@@libertyrose28 Shoot. Not what I wanted to hear. Thanks for replying anyway.
i will like to life in costa rica for doing fruit farm along with coconut intergated farming so i will like to know a good place to get a farm land
@aleembacchus3652 Southern Zone near to San Vito and the Panama border is your spot. Cheap land, beautiful views, few foreigners. Lots of rain in the rainy season, and warm temperatures year round.
Great video!
Thanks!
Living in Costa Rica should actually be called surviving in Costa Rica. The streets are destroyed, the public healthcare system is terrible, and private healthcare is extremely expensive. Food prices are absurdly high; it's cheaper to buy food in the USA. The cultural level of the people is very low, the country's capital is dirty and unattractive. The country is unsafe, and basic services like water and electricity are a disaster.
I wish someone had told me this before I moved to Costa Rica. The videos on RUclips about the country are misleading and don't reflect reality.
After living in Costa Rica, I moved to Panama, and I’m happy. The country is very developed, prices are reasonable, the healthcare services are excellent and fairly priced, the cultural level of Panamanians is very high, the country is clean, and the people are friendly.
Don't be fooled by the videos; visit Costa Rica to realize that it is not a good place to live.
Yes I am really considering moving to Atenas to a gated community in which I explored this pass August for the first . I also explored las Catilinas and I wanted to die in how hot it was. So for sure the mountains at about 2400 ft above sea level is ideal for me . Another thing yes vehicles are pricey but it didnt stop me from purchasing one last month as I got tired of renting and not having the proper 4X4 capabilities that are needed as I remember traveling from the airport to Tamarindo .
thanks
Your presentation are very good and very informative and more people ought to be watching. I lived in Mexico for 10+ years. Times have changed. I am back in the US and things are declining here in terms of quality of life and safety, so I am looking abroad. C.R. looks very good. But I've never been there. You know that's tricky. You have to test a place before making the leap. I speak Spanish enough to function without relying on locals speaking English. I don't want to be in a tourist spot nor where a lot of expats congregate. I'd prefer a typical CR community away from high humidity somewhere int he mountains. Anyone have suggestions?
I was never in the tropics, how long every day it rains? Is there no sunshine at all during rainy season?
Often sunny morning until 11-12 and then rain except in October November when it often rains all day
@libertyrose28 thanks, good to know.
hey hope your doing well after you're pregnancy. I have many skills from mechanics to media i know there a period of time that a foreigner isn't allowed to work physically there but you can digitally? so I'm working on something remote like IT to where I can come and still have an income. what do you think?
