Test-Drive Life Overseas – Win an All-Expenses-Paid Month in Costa Rica!

InternationalLiving.com, the leading authority on global retirement and relocation opportunities, is hosting a Test-Drive Your Dream Life Overseas Competition, which will send one winner (along with a friend or spouse) to Costa Rica—for a full month in 2024, free. The prize includes round-trip flights from the U.S. to San José, furnished accommodation, plus a stipend to cover living expenses.

“At International Living, we believe that you don’t have to be rich to live well overseas—you just need to know where to go,” says Jennifer Stevens, Executive Editor, International Living.

“And the number one spot we recommend today is Costa Rica, where expats can find an excellent balance of quality and cost of living—along with lush rainforests, warm beaches, friendly locals, strong infrastructure, and truly breathtaking surrounds.

“Our goal with this Test-Drive Your Dream Life Overseas competition is to show readers—by sending ‘one of their own’ to see for themselves—just how accessible and enjoyable life there really can be.”

Costa Rica was recently named the best place in the world to retire in InternationalLiving.com’s Annual Global Retirement Index. The appeal for most expats begins with its stable democracy, environmental policies, and vibrant expat communities.

“Just a few hours from the U.S. mainland, Costa Rica offers some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the world,” says Stevens. “This country has earned its reputation among expats by providing a laid-back lifestyle while at the same time maintaining the authenticity of this beautiful country. Expat communities are thriving here amidst the backdrop of mountains, valleys, and beaches.”

As the description for International Living’s Test-Drive Your Dream Life Overseas Competition puts it, the winner:

“Must be willing to relax… enjoy the good life… explore natural parks, restaurants, and local markets… take hikes… attend cultural events… perhaps try a cooking class… or go deep-sea fishing… live like a local… make new friends.

The ideal candidate hails from the U.S. and believes the world is full of opportunity and that in the right places abroad, it is possible to live better for less.”
Although no writing experience is necessary, the winner will be asked to share impressions and experiences with readers of InternationalLiving.com’s magazine, website, social channels, and e-letters.

The competition is an opportunity to shine a light on the real-world experiences of someone who is considering the benefits of living abroad.
