As a country that emphasizes education over having an army, Costa Rica is the ultimate destination in Central America for tourists and for people looking for a new way of life. “Pura Vida” or the pure life is the motto of Costa Rica that thousands of expats every year have chosen to adopt for themselves.
They are basically two types of expats that live in Costa Rica. The one that has chosen to retire in Costa Rica and the one that is not of retirement age and still needs to make a living.
