Why do so many people leave Costa Rica after moving there? by samramon
This question is often asked because while there are no absolute numbers it seems to be generally agreed that 30-60% of people move back to their home country within the first 5 years or so. I hope the moderators will allow this discussion because ...
@waladoucer Tamarindo and Santa are on opposite ends of the peninsula but similar in that they are both crowded surf spots and touristy. If you’re into surfing and dining, those are decent choices. Keep in mind that they have different ... Read More
