Why the world is looking at Costa Rica right now

Hi Amigos,

With the heartbreaking news coming out of the Middle East this month, I’ve been receiving a lot of emails from people asking the same question: "Is there anywhere left in the world that is truly safe and stable?"

Global conflict, rising energy costs, and the disruption of travel routes have a way of making us re-evaluate what matters. When the world feels like it’s shifting, we look for a "Safe Haven"—not just for our money, but for our peace of mind.

This week, three major global reports confirmed exactly why I chose to make Costa Rica my home decades ago, and why it remains the premier choice for you in 2026.

 

1. The 4th Happiest Country on Earth 🌍

The 2026 World Happiness Report was just released, and it’s historic. Costa Rica has risen to #4 in the world, the highest ranking ever for a Latin American nation.

While other countries are dropping in the rankings due to social tension and economic stress, Costa Rica is climbing. Why? Because here, we prioritize community, health, and our "No Army" dividend. In a world of conflict, Costa Rica’s 75-year commitment to peace isn't just a fun fact—it’s our greatest asset.

 

2. Named the "Best Nature Destination" by Forbes 🌿

Nature isn’t just a backdrop here; it’s a lifestyle. Last week in Madrid, the Forbes Travel Awards 2026 officially named Costa Rica the Best Nature Destination.

With 6.5% of the world's biodiversity and a quarter of our land protected, this is the place where you can actually breathe. Science shows that living near green spaces lowers cortisol. If you’re feeling the weight of the world, "Pura Vida" is the literal antidote.

 

3. Bloomberg: Retirement is still affordable here 💰

A new Bloomberg report (March 18, 2026) highlighted that despite global inflation, retiring in Costa Rica remains highly attainable. Thanks to our accessible residency visas and the fact that foreign retirement income is not taxed here, your nest egg goes significantly further than it would in the U.S. or Europe.

 

 

Stop Guessing. Come See for Yourself.

The news can tell you what is happening, but it can’t tell you how it feels to live here. That’s why I do what I do.

My relocation tours are not real estate tours. They are masterclasses in freedom. We sit down with the best attorneys, healthcare experts, and expats who have already made the move so you can get the "real" story—no sugar-coating.

Upcoming Tour Availability:

  • June 20 – June 29 (Combination Tour & Pacific Beach Tour): 4 seats just opened up!
  • August 22 – August 31 (Central Valley): Limited spots remaining.
  • November (Thanksgiving Week): Space available for all tours.

Don't wait for the world to get "quiet" to make your move. Peace is something you have to choose for yourself.
