Current U.S. Presidential administration is driving some to Costa Rica

Due to the growing current political division in the United States many are choosing to relocate abroad. One of the most popular countries among expats is Costa Rica.

When president Trump was first elected people were saying, “I am going to move to Canada or Costa Rica.” Well as it turned out, there was never a mass exodus of Americans. However, it appears that more and more people are now moving outside of the United States with many coming to Costa Rica.

Over the last six months a good number of the participants on my monthly relocation tours (www.liveincostarica.com) have express their discontent with the political climate in the States and the direction the country is moving. For instance, on this months tour (June 2018) all of the couples and individuals told me that their main reason for wanting to relocate here was the U.S. President and his policies. They are just fed up with the present situation and America’s future.

Fortunately, I have lived in Costa Rica for 38 years, so I feel somewhat removed from the situation. If I want a dose of news from America all I have to do is turn the TV. Otherwise, it is easy to ignore what is happing in this mad world.

Costa Rica is the antithesis of the United States in many ways which is why people choose to relocate here. First and foremost we have no army, nor do we meddle in other countries internal affairs. Therefore, we have NO external enemies or threat of terrorism.

The country is far from perfect but manages to survive in a chaotic world of uncertainty. As said I stated in an article a few years back, “Costa Rica seems to be a nation of sanity in a mad world.”

Furthermore, the country enjoys an impeccable international reputation; you never hear anything bad in the foreign media mentioned about it. We have one of the best climates in the world, a great lifestyle, friendly people who actually like Americans, a government that makes relocation easy, is user friendly for expats, has excellent and affordable medical care, almost every imaginable activity to stay busy and happy, a large expatriate community, affordable telecommunications, cheap public transportation, fruits and vegetables at rock bottom prices, many intangibles and so much more.

I rest my case!
