Costa Rica - Election 2012 - Now Even More Reason to Move Here




  • There’s a built-in community of English-speaking locals and expats – While it’s always best to learn some Spanish, you’ll find locals who "speak your language" (in more ways than one) in even the tiniest town in Costa Rica.
  • It’s healthy...as one of the ‘greenest, cleanest’ countries in the world with little pollution and lots of clean water and fresh air. (The Nicoya Peninsula is one of the world’s "Blue Zones," where locals have the longest life expectancy of anyone in the world. One reason for this is the slower pace of living and the warm, welcoming climate in Costa Rica. And, of course, the fresh, healthy foods...without preservatives and chemicals.)
  • And if you need it, Costa Rica’s health care system is rated as even better than the U.S. by the World Health Organization!
  • A staggering 99% of the country’s energy comes from renewable sources. You can imagine what that means in terms of dollars...and sense!
  • Adult literacy is practically 100%. People are well-educated and well-informed. (Many international companies have established international offices, factories, and call centers here for this reason—contributing to a strong and stable economy.)
  • Costa Ricans are the happiest people on the planet. This is according to the scientists from the renowned Happy Planet Index. It’s fun to be here!
  • One more point about health care: residents of Costa Rica are required to participate in the world-class public health care system. And at an average cost of $50 per month per couple, all your health care needs....doctor’s visits, lab tests, hospitalization, medications...everything...is covered.
  • If that doesn’t have you thinking about packing up and starting a new life in Costa Rica, I don’t know what will. In fact, there’s so much that Costa Rica has to offer that it should certainly be at or near the top of your list
