Reasons to Move to Costa Rica
*Stunning Nature Abounds*
Costa Rica is literally covered in natural wonders. It has
epic volcanoes with spewing lava that create natural hot springs you can soak
in.
*Great Healthcare is Affordable*
Healthcare is top-of-the-line and inexpensive, which has
brought a new kind of tourism to the country: medical tourism. Hospitals in the
capital of San Jose offer world-class care. Procedures including dental work,
surgeries, and more are available at a fraction of the cost of the U.S. and are
extremely high quality.
Costa Rican citizens receive free healthcare and residents
can pay a low fee to join the national healthcare program. Private healthcare
plans are incredibly affordable starting at around $50 per month. Even the
out-of-pocket medical costs for those with no coverage is staggeringly low
compared to the U.S.
*A Healthy Lifestyle*
Eating less processed foods and more local fruits and
vegetables, being outside with nature every day, and using your body to achieve
more tasks are all changes that take place for most people who move to Costa
Rica. Many report losing weight because they become much more physically
active.
*Kind, Generous Local Culture*
Local Costa Ricans, Ticos, are some of the most hospitable,
nature-loving, peace-oriented people on earth. They love their country and are
welcoming to tourists and expats who love it too. Costa Rica has a 95% literacy
rate and nationals are highly educated.
*The Pura Vida Lifestyle*
What may truly set Costa Rica apart from the rest of Central
America is its dedication to the words “pura vida”. Pura vida is more than a
phrase, it is a way of life. When locals say “pura vida” it is a reminder to
themselves and the rest of the world to relax, let things go, and be grateful
for what you have.
Isn’t that why most people get off the grid after all?
It may not be the place for everyone, but Costa Rica is an
exceptional option for anyone looking to live abroad in Latin America. These
are just a few of the many reasons to move here.
