The Top 5 Reasons I love living in Tamarindo

Writing down 10 reasons why I love living in Tamarindo – a small beach town in Costa Rica's Guanacaste region – would be easy. Unfortunately, it would probably be a short novel to write the details for 10 features of this town, so for now I'll stick to the top five. Over the past seven months, I've adjusted to a town I wouldn't have always thought was the right place for me. It's touristy and some of the downtown development can be initially off putting, but once you dig a little deeper, the value of living somewhere with a lively nightlife and close proximity to nature is priceless. Set against a strong and united community of friendly locals and international residents, these are just some of the reasons I am proud to call Tamarindo home.
