Living Black in Costa Rica 🤷🏾♀️ Black Expats Living Life Abroad
#blackexpats #livinglifeabroad #BlackinCostaRica 'Living Black in Costa Rica Black Expats Living Life Abroad' Devon has been living in Costa Rica for 6 years now. Four in Grecia and now in Escazu. An interesting fact, Devon actually reached out to Travel Costa Rica NOW back in 2015 and we actually had a SKYPE call. I could help her to an extent but being that I am not black, I couldn't actually answer some of her questions, just give my observations. Anyway, she has been very busy these days with her FaceBook groups (helping black folks relocate to Costa Rica). and the fact she has 3 shows on a fairly new Black Radio Station (streamed on the internet) called Blaxit (details below). This video, 'Living Black in Costa Rica Black Expats Living Life Abroad' is on how she came to live in Costa Rica, her thoughts on how Costa Rica treats black people and her radio station, Blaxit and much much more. So CHECK IT OUT.

OMG! This is just what I needed. I am a Black Amerrican here and sometimes I feel a little alone and isolated. The Costa Ricans don't make me feel this way but it is just apart of the experience of adjusting to a new place. I definitely would like to meet this amazing woman and her group for support and encouragement as a new Black American Expat. Thank you so so much for making this video! This really made my day!

You’re so blessed you live in a beautiful and peaceful country. I visited Costa Rica for the first time over the summer and I fell in love! The people were warm and loving. The food is delicious and healthy. I lost weight on my trip as well because of the fresh food and daily walks. I have a lot of respect for the locals because it’s impressive that they can live in parts of Costa Rica that are hot and humid. I stayed in Monteverde for a few days and the humidity was a little intense especially after receiving rain lol

My son moved to Costa Rica about 8 years ago, he loved it because he just became a part of Junkial a small community on the Pacific Ocean. I went down there last fall, had to meet my new daughter inlaw from Ukrane. I was surprised how many Tico friends he had, the younger kids called me pappa. Not bad for the dad of a total PTSD MARINE that couldent even funtchion in the US .He is now starting a business doing 3 D videos with his drone and 3D camera for a realtor and has the most wonderful wife he could ever hope for.

Not YET! I LOVE Costa Rica soooooo much!!!! However as an American those white people coming down their will start the shit sooner than later as they ALWAYS do WHEREVER they go!! I was traveling and passed the Dole farm which crop dusted everyone on the bus with chemicals. I immediately knew what was up because the farm is in the Caribbean ,"darker" area of the country. After 3 seconds of research I learned that it was making men infertile for the past 20 years or so. You simply CANNOT trust them and as soon as you open the door for them to buy up real estate it's the same EXACT time they're planning their take over and it ALWAYS starts by turning the locals against each other and making them rude to white foreigners in which they will pay the police/government to do something about it AKA arrest detain and separate the locals. AKA gentrification. It's unfortunate that seemingly EVERY dark culture around the world takes the "friendly" bate but NEVER remember they are the same people that keep them starving and or fucked them up in the first place. I wish NOTHING but the best for NATIVE Costa Ricans as they are amongst the BEST people I've ever had the joy of talking to and interacting with in my 12+ country travels. PURA VIDA!!!!!!

Great interview. One of your best! This lady is super smart and I would love to meet her one day. Just one comment… Escazu is not Costa Rica. It is too Americanized. I live in the east side of town. Los Yoses, Barrio Escalante, Barrio Dent…no question … the best area of San Jose.. and not that many gringos. 40-50 bars and restaurants, mostly with with local people. Super safe. Close to downtown. Awesome neighborhood. I highly recommend.

Great interview! I am of color, and have lived in Guanacaste for 9 years. Being a beach person, I could not pass up buying a beachfront home. I have enjoyed every minute of living in Costa Rica! However, to be frank, what no one likes or feels comfortable to talk about. When it comes to the vast majority of expat communities and Indigenous Tico communities. You do see and feel the economic and racial differences, to various degrees throughout Costa Rica.

This was a great interview and I am very interested in visiting for due diligence prior to expating.

So Costa Rica is our next stop!

Black expats doesn't say where you come from there are black people in costa rica already in a general sense when people move from one place to the next, national origin is commonly used to describe expats. Its like saying black expat living in martinique when the island is full of them already, although they would be alot different than americans, assuming you are one

It could be in a follow up video or you could just ask Devon. Property owners and managers were discounting rents like crazy in 2020 as no one was getting in and lots of people were breaking their leases and moving back to their hometowns to ride out the lockdown which lasted nearly a year in Costa Rica. The government wasn't handing out stimulus checks and inflated unemployment checks like in the US. It was maybe a once in a life opportunity, but there are economic cycles and natural disasters will probably just increase in frequency going forward.

I don't know as a Costarican I don't believe we discrimante our black people. What happens is what happen s most places where black people live, they are more racists than white people treat them like. I fact I have so many good, very good friends here that are black people and I doin't feel any diference with my white or black friends. Skin color to me as for many of my friends has nothing to do with us.. Every body is more than welcome to our land as long as they come in peace and willing to share with us.
