8 Reasons Why Americans LEAVE Costa Rica [Why I Left]
The TRUTH about living in Costa Rica: Why do so many Americans leave Costa Rica after moving there? In this video, I explain what causes expats to change their minds about retiring abroad and why I left Costa Rica after 8 years. Some of the initial reasons that people want to move to Costa Rica include the moderate climate, laid back lifestyle, fresh and healthy food, friendly people, beaches, medical tourism, and the low cost of living. But is Costa Rica really a safe and friendly country or is it actually dangerous and expensive? Once they arrive, many people realize that living in Costa Rica wasn't quite what they expected. Unfortunately, that results in people returning home quite soon after arriving.
After helping more than 500 foreigners move to Costa Rica and living there for eight years, this video explains the top reasons why people move back to the USA and why I left, too, so that you know more about what to expect BEFORE you get there. This is the real and sometimes dark truth about living in Costa Rica. What do you think are the biggest pros and cons of living in Costa Rica? Let us know in the comments.

Many people who move to Costa Rica, plan to stay for only a few years before packing up and heading back home. People often spend more time thinking about moving to Costa Rica, than they do actually relocating there. In this video, We will discuss some of the most common triggers for expatriation from Costa Rica. How many foreigners call Costa Rica home exactly? The U.S. Department of State estimates that, over 120,000 Americans call Costa Rica home; we'd say that this is by far the country's largest expat population. and Europeans may come in second and third, respectively. The reasons people retire or move to Costa Rica, are as varied as the reasons they decide to leave.
First reason. People quickly pointed out that, living expenses aren't actually that low. They claimed that they came to Costa Rica, because they thought it would be cheaper there. However, the truth was that they spent exactly the same there as in the USA. It didn't come as a huge shock to us, because there has been a lot of talk about how low the cost of living, is on the internet ever since its infancy. The problem is that much of this information was published at least a decade ago. Also, the story that Costa Rica is a cheap place to live has persisted. Contrary to popular belief, Costa Rica is not a cheap place to call home. In fact, it ranks as Latin America's second most expensive country to call home. The reason for this is that import taxes in Costa Rica, are extremely high. Hence, specialized foods and vehicles, are among the priciest things to buy. When these factors are added up, the cost of living is higher than most people realize.
Second reason. An inability to adapt to local culture, as well as unrealistic, misaligned expectations, is likely the most significant. Moving from a developed country like the United States, where you're likely living the rat race, to a more relaxed country like Costa Rica, would be like night and day. Because of the slower pace of life, the culture shock will be more severe, than if one were to move from a similar but neighboring country, such as Panama, to Costa Rica. The most common oversight in this regard is a lack of commitment, to the country over a sustained period of time, which is necessary for successful cultural integration. Consider that you have recently relocated to Costa Rica, and that the first few months have been enjoyable. You've officially entered the honeymoon phase of your move.
Third reason. The 3rd major issue is connected to the first, in that it involves people's unrealistic expectations of the cost of living. It's possible that they've made Costa Rica out to be the promised land, a place where all your problems will be solved, and you'll live a better, more affordable, more beautiful, and more exciting life.
Fourth reason. Concerns about health care were the fourth most common complaint, which we found surprising given, Costa Rica's stellar international reputation in this area. The country's reputation as a top destination for medical tourists, is an integral part of its marketing strategy. Thus, it came as a surprise to us when people said, they were leaving Costa Rica due to health concerns.
Fifth reason. The fifth most common reason was the importance of family, which made us pretty down. To us, this suggests that people waited until a certain point in their lives, such as retirement in Costa Rica, before deciding they wanted to prioritize, spending time with their loved ones.
Sixth reason. Crime rates. When compared to other developed nations, such as the United States, Costa Rica ranks 32nd on the Global Peace Index. Therefore, Costa Rica is quite a peaceful and secure country. It's important to note that this in no way discounts, the existence of crime or other issues. We have also learned that not all criminal activity is reported. It is unclear whether the teco times, an English-language newspaper or la nacion, the largest Spanish-language newspaper, purposefully omits coverage of events in the expat community. Crime against expatriates is likely more common than is commonly believed.
Seventh reason. The next topic brought up was how everyone was complaining, about the same problems they were having with other expats, and online communities. Thus, it saddened us to consider that, some expats who had enthusiastically anticipated their move to Costa Rica, now find themselves dissatisfied with their new home. However, when talking to other expats, who are considering or have recently moved to Costa Rica, they tend to have a negative outlook on life there.

Why do so many people leave Costa Rica?
Richard is the owner/broker of Coldwell Banker Tamarindo, and the founder of the vacation rental company Please get in touch if we can help.
Summary
A proportion of the expats who set up a new life and buy real estate in Costa Rica leave after a few years. Why is that? Here are a few reasons why.
The ‘Never contenters’
You can often spot these ones early on. Either they are lamenting the good old days before all the gringos spoiled it for everyone, or alternatively they are sure that their lives will be infinitely happier once that road is repaved, or when the whatever is fixed, or the new cinema is finished. Or if they could just get those waitresses to walk a bit faster. ‘The Tamarindo shuffle’ My personal outlook is that I am content with what we have. In the mid 1990s I liked it, and now I like it too.
The plan was only ever a 3 or 5 year, or just a vacation home
I would say this is the biggest category. A lot of expats are not taking a forever decision and their return home is part of the plan. Nothing wrong with this at all, actually it makes the moving to Costa Rica decision easier if you can think that it is just for a certain period while you decide. Many choose to stay longer.
Didn’t do the research, didn’t take the time
In my video about ‘8 things I wish i knew before I bought’ (link below) I stress the need to take your time, do your research, and spend some time in Costa Rica before you buy. It may be cultural differences with the latin people, cost of living.
Change in circumstances at home
This is a big category too, either because of an elderly relative, or the children’s schooling, or a health issue
Victim of crime, relationship break up
A sudden unexpected event such as being a victim of crime, or having a relationship breakup sometimes causes people to pack up and go home. Crime does happen but fortunately it is rare, (though this depends where in the country you live) and violent crime even more rare
Boredom, lack of stimulation
Busy people who move to Costa Rica suddenly find a lot of time on their hands. This is good because a visit to the bank can take a couple of hours sometimes. But seriously it is important to find like minded people, join groups, take up sports
Not happy here, not happy there.
There is definitely a subsection of residents that is not happy deep down inside, so wherever they are geographically they will never be content. They move looking for something missing, but what is missing is within.

In this video I will share with you most common reasons why a lot of people mostly Americans or expats leave Costa Rica soon after their arrival, if you are planning to travel to Costa Rica to come and live in Costa Rica, in this video you will find important information before this important move and at the end of the video I will let you know why I consider leaving Costa Rica as too!
Costa Rica is an amazing country and man y people from around the globe come to live here, I have had the opportunity to meet many expats, also many people from many countries who come and go to Costa Rica, many stay forever but many leave soon after their arrival, I am John Ordoñez Real Estate broker for over 15 years here so without further due, let’s move on with the video!
I considered leaving Costa Rica because I thought I needed a change, I am originally from Colombia and I am used to big cities and access to more amenities maybe more business opportunities but also personal situations, maybe I like to experience new cultures, but after all I will stay because it is a great country, nice people and a amazing nature, I have also family here in Costa Rica and my business so it is a good thing to stay and just travel whenever I can.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.
Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Why Do Young People Want to Leave Costa Rica
A recent poll conducted by CID Gallup showed that 2 out of 5 Costa Ricans wanted to leave the country. 41% of those aged 18-29 year old indicated that they would leave the country if the had the ability to do so. What is causing this ?
In this video I look at some of the economic and employment date that could explain the poll finding.

Why you must LEAVE San Jose Costa Rica ASAP #shorts
Costa Rica looks like a small country, but it actually takes quite a bit of time to get from place to place. If you’re here for beaches, wildlife, adventurous activities in the rainforest, then you need to leave San Jose.If you only have a week, pick two places to base yourself such as the rainforest, cloud forest, or beach.
Snorkeling isn’t the best here but it’s still possible. You have more opportunities to see land-based wildlife like sloths, anteaters, monkeys, butterflies, and birds. Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is on the east coast with a relaxed Caribbean vibe. Tortuguero is a rustic village famous for sea turtle nesting areas only in certain seasons. There is still plenty of wildlife and relaxation in the off season.
La Fortuna has a nearby volcano, large waterfalls, whitewater rafting, hot springs, and more to keep you busy. Monteverde in the cloud forest has some epic ziplines and hanging bridges to get to the treetops.
Manuel Antonio National Park is very popular on the Pacific (west coast) of Costa Rica. I didn’t even cover all of the amazing places you can visit in Costa Rica and this took two weeks at a pretty fast pace to see all of this!
