Living in Costa Rica

Downtown San José, Costa Rica

The people (expats) living in Costa Rica all have a story.  You may never know their story but they surely have a story to tell if you ask.  Some come for a change in lifestyle.  Some travel from country to country never really settling.  Some are perpetual tourists who return to their home country periodicly and come back to Costa Rica but are never really residents.  Some visit Costa Rica and meet their husband or wife and decide to stay and become residents.  We all have a story to tell.

Costa Rica is a melting pot of cultures with people here from all over the world.  You can see this by the variety of restaurants here.  All it takes is a visit to immigration and see the number of people submitting their paperwork on a daily basis for residency to realize what a multi-cultural country Costa Rica is.
