Houses inside a state are common in Costa Rica. Privacy and calm are huge advantages over an hotel.

What kind of professions would benefit from a short stay in Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a mostly rural country. The Central Valley has concentrated most of the population in cities such as San José and Alajuela, with more than 300,000 inhabitants each.
Once a road was constructed, people were constructing their houses next to it.


Because of this, towns are mostly scattered houses and buildings alongside the road instead of the centric ones. Towns’ downtowns are mostly located near the church and the park. The wise decision of our ancestors as those places people gathers for different cultural and religious activities.
These gatherings are good to develop commerce.

Because of the urban settings, service providers need to cover a lot of territory. This includes electricity, Internet, garbage collection, and water.
It is important to understand these circumstances because it is the explanation why the rural areas have such a good coverage of the services previously mentioned.

Estates count with all services despite being away from town and city centers. Many of them are available for rent for foreigners and locals looking for a short stay. Mostly because being away from the noise and constant interruptions could help them to focus on an important project. All of this while having access to the cloud and communication apps.

Let’s talk about job positions and professions that could benefit from a short or long stay in Costa Rica.
