Tonight's Smart Costa Rica Series newsletter just went out. I spent Sunday at a Father's Day lunch — Colombians, Brazilians, a Spaniard, an American. All expats. Not a single Costa Rican at the table. Someone brought up the World Cup. Costa Rica's absence hurt. And then someone asked the question that changed the conversation entirely. "You had options. Why Costa Rica?" What followed was the most honest comparison I've heard in years — not from a ranking, not from a blog. From people who actually made the decision with their own money and their own lives. Tonight I put it in writing. FDI numbers. Peace Index. Healthcare. Property market. Costa Rica vs. Panama, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Uruguay — side by side, 2025–2026 data. Not subscribed yet? I'd like to think I cover things most people don't — and from angles most people miss. #CostaRica #LuxuryRealEstate #ForeignInvestment #Relocation #ForbesGlobalProperties
