Why do people move to Costa Rica?
When we asked people why foreigners move to Costa Rica, they responded...
"Foreigners move to Playa Jaco for the beaches, fabulous sunsets, close proximity to an international airport (SJO is 90 minutes by car) and convenient shopping. Additionally, the community has a relaxed vibe, full of great restaurants, plentiful beach access, recreational activities and other expats to socialize," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Playa Jaco, Costa Rica.
"Most foreigners who voluntarily move to San Jose, Costa Rica do so for the nice climate, lower cost of living, and friendly people. Some of course move here for work, usually in the multinationals, while a few are running from someone or something (often the law)," commented one expat who made the move to San Jose, Costa Rica.
