Life in Costa Rica
Living in a foreign country is a choice that we can make because our country of origin has given us this freedom of movement.
We are in the real estate business and are not political commentators although there seems to be no shortage of them these days so why not share a few thoughts.
Interesting to note that one day following the US Presidential Election our web site had more than twice as many visits as our previous one day record! Is there a message in this spike of traffic? Probably, but the same event would probably have occurred regardless of who was elected!
Before the US election a client expressed that it didn’t matter who was elected, the other half was going to leave! I certainly hope not, we want to attract buyers from all over the world who value what this country offers and value their human rights to make this choice as so many have.
One can only hope that the transfer of power goes smoothly and that the US comes together and we become one people again. Are we wise enough to learn and grow and respect our differences? Our future depends on it!
Costa Rica has a very large and diverse foreign community. We moved here from California over 15 years ago and now have friends from many countries and backgrounds. I never realized how sheltered we were until we had this experience which we value greatly.
Color, race, religion, beliefs, bring it on, we all seem to coexist in this beautiful country without problems because we all have so much in common as expatriates.
