#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.

Very nice, interview, I lived in the SF. Bay Area for 40 years, Oakland, and Richmond, Originally from DETROIT. I just did an interview with Mrs Charlotte Van Horn, because now I'm in Panama. Stationed here in the early 1980's I was treated pretty nice, but that was 40 years ago, and now the millennials are not the same. I'm also thinking of coming to Costa Rica in July, for a conference, and I've put out 7 CD's over the internet. A very nice interview.

I am SOOOOO GLAD that she said that though we are Black.When we see Blacks of a certain country i.e Brazil,Mexico,,Costa Rico, even Africa, Etc. WE are still seen as Gringos.Not meaning white but American, and they see us in relation to the US money.

Sorry in Africa Afro people does not identify as Black . No matter how dark a person is no one is calling themselves blacks. Keep that disgusting label in USA creepy label that only sees a human complexion. The rest of us Afro people are not calling ourselves blacks.

Hi, Michael, I enjoy your valuable information every time. I want to ask Ms. Devon some questions. Are you getting Medicare in USA? If you do have it, are you keep paying for Medicare while you live in Costa Rica? Are you paying for an international travel insurance? Are you planning to go back to US in the future? I appreciate your response!

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.

I was in Guanacaste and the people in the area look like my cousins. I didn’t feel out of place. Now in the resort/tourist areas, they did not look like me. I still received the same treatment as the other gringos. So I understand her completely.
