What is life like as an expat in your area?

When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...

"Tourism in the area is very high so work takes a strong priority to keep everyone happy and returning to the area. However, family is a very strong factor. Many Costa Ricans from the Central Valley visit on weekends and holidays. It is not uncommon to see families and friends relaxing at the beach with a picnic and hammock, enjoying the breeze and socializing. Surfing is a major sport in the area so surf lessons are high on the list for a fun activity. Hiking Miro Mountain is a popular activity which includes wildlife spotting, camera opportunities, and general fitness," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Playa Hermosa de Jaco, Costa Rica.

"It is a beach town. Most people are retired from North America. The beach is beautiful. All people go to the beach for walking, socializing, etc," commented one expat who made the move to Playa Hermosa de Jaco, Costa Rica.
