What type of social life can someone expect in San Jose?
When we asked expats and global nomads about their social experiences in San Jose, they replied...
"Expats, retirees and digital nomads living in San Jose typically have an active social life. They often join local clubs and organizations, attend cultural events, and make friends with other expats, retirees and digital nomads. They also take advantage of the city's many restaurants, bars, and cafes to socialize and meet new people. Additionally, they often take part in outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and surfing, which provide opportunities to meet other like-minded individuals," said another expat in San Jose, Costa Rica.
"There is a difference between having a social life among expats and locals. Both have their pluses and minuses, but not the same ones," wrote a member who made the move to San Jose, Costa Rica.
