InterNations — A Community for American Expats in San José
Hello to all Americans in San José! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in San José? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in San José which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st￭ turkey?
There’s no doubt about it: San José will pleasantly surprise you. The Costa Rican capital is a lively city known for its rich culture and history, impressive architecture, bustling nightlife, friendly locals, and much more! With the bus services, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in Barrio Escalante or Los Yoses, for example, which are both less than 20 minutes away from San José’s center.
Although San José has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in San José, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.
