Episode 4: What it’s really like living in Costa Rica. Does it live up to the hype?

What is it really like living in Costa Rica as an expat? In this episode of Mango Diaries, we take you behind the scenes of four years living abroad in Costa Rica and share the highs, lows, and lessons we’ve learned along the way.

From the laid-back pura vida lifestyle, tight-knit communities, Spanish and incredible nature to tropical bugs, expensive groceries, car-buying challenges, and the realities of everyday life, we’re sharing the things you might not hear about on a typical Costa Rica vacation.
