What is life like as an expat in your area?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...

"Playa Jaco is a popular destination for expats and digital nomads due to its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and close proximity to San Jose. Expats and digital nomads in Playa Jaco can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle with plenty of outdoor activities, such as surfing, snorkeling, and hiking. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive option for those looking to stretch their budget. The local community is friendly and welcoming, and there are plenty of opportunities to make friends and explore the culture. With its stunning natural beauty, vibrant culture, and low cost of living, Playa Jaco is an ideal destination for expats and digital nomads," remarked another expat who made the move to Playa Jaco, Costa Rica.

"Tourism in the area is very high so work takes a strong priority to keep everyone happy and returning to the area. However, family is a very strong factor. Many Costa Ricans from the Central Valley visit on weekends and holidays. It is not uncommon to see families and friends relaxing at the beach with a picnic and hammock, enjoying the breeze and socializing. Surfing is a major sport in the area so surf lessons are high on the list for a fun activity. Hiking Miro Mountain is a popular activity which includes wildlife spotting, camera opportunities, and general fitness," explained one expat living in Playa Hermosa de Jaco, Costa Rica.
