This is a good question, because for some it can be enormously challenging to adapt to a new culture and lifestyle and for others, it is relatively simple and a great deal of fun!

The answer to this question lies within yourself. Only you will know your level of patience, understanding and ability to accept and adapt to change. One thing is certain and that is living anywhere in Latin America is much different than in the United States, Canada or Europe. Not that one is better than another. A person can easily argue the pros and cons to each lifestyle; however, it should be safe to say that each individual is unique and you can have fun no matter where you reside! Of course, the level of fun is entirely up to you!

Just be sure to consider this before making major transitions in your life, especially if you are considering selling a home to purchase a home a primary home in Costa Rica, Panama or Mexico. In a case such as this, it’s much better to rent for 6-12 months BEFORE making any major decisions.

Good luck and make sure you plan for fun!
