What is life like as an expat in your area?

Answer this Question

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

"Life for expats and digital nomads in La Fortuna is filled with adventure and tranquility. The town is surrounded by lush rainforests, waterfalls, and the active Arenal Volcano, offering plenty of outdoor activities. The local community is friendly and welcoming, making it easy for newcomers to integrate and make friends. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, making it an attractive destination for those looking to live abroad. The local cuisine is delicious and affordable, with plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood available. For digital nomads, the internet connectivity is generally good, with many cafes and restaurants offering free Wi-Fi. However, power outages can be common, so it's advisable to have a backup plan. The pace of life is slower in La Fortuna, which can be a welcome change for those used to the hustle and bustle of city life. The locals live by the mantra "Pura Vida", meaning "pure life", which encapsulates the laid-back and stress-free lifestyle of Costa Rica. Learning Spanish can be beneficial, as not everyone speaks English, but it's not a necessity. The healthcare system in Costa Rica is also highly regarded, with many expats praising the quality and affordability of medical services. Overall, life for expats and digital nomads in La Fortuna offers a unique blend of natural beauty, adventure, and a relaxed lifestyle," said a member in La Fortuna, Costa Rica.
