What You Need To Know To Move Your Family To Costa Rica
There are plenty of travel guides available for those who want to vacation in Costa Rica.
And almost everyone knows that there is now a HUGE American ex-pat population in Costa Rica. The "Little America" in Costa Rica now contains two complete cities named Escazu and Santa Ana.
There are also smaller American ex-pat communities throughout Costa Rica and many American ex-pats live among the Costa Ricans.
Costa Ricans are of European decent (from Spain) and unlike their neighbors to the north never had much mixture with the indigenous population. They are incredibly nice people on average and very welcoming to ex-pats from the United States.
Moving to Costa Rica is very inexpensive. Your flight will cost about the same as a flight between two states in the United States.
Once you get to Costa Rica, you will find that everything is much less expensive than in the United States.
Some expenses completely disappear. For instance, the central valley of Costa Rica (where the large American ex-pat cities are located) has a year round temperature of 65-85 degrees. There is no need for heating or air conditioning. That expense is completely eliminated.
A lot of health expenses also decrease or completely disappear. The climate, culture and food of Costa Rica leads to better health. Costa Ricans and even Americans living in Costa Rica live longer on average.
There are a lot of benefits to living in Costa Rica and that is why so many people are moving from the United States to Costa Rica.
