Costa Rica is often seen as paradise — beautiful beaches, lush jungles, slower living, and one of the happiest lifestyles in the world. So why would anyone leave?

In this episode of Somewhere New, we sit down with a couple from Costa Rica who made the difficult decision to leave home in search of new opportunities, personal growth, and a different future. From culture shock and sacrifice to identity, freedom, and redefining what “home” means, this conversation goes beyond travel and dives into the emotional reality of starting over somewhere new.

What happens when the place everyone dreams of no longer feels enough for you?

This is a story about growth, risk, reinvention, and the courage to leave comfort behind.
