En el futuro, me encantaría ir a Costa Rica porque es muy soleado allí y un montón de gente de surf en Costa Rica y me gustaría aprender a surf. Asimismo, las playas de Costa Rica son preciosas y hay hermosas criaturas marinas, que me encantaría ver. Por otro lado, es muy caro para visitar Costa Rica así que cuando tenga 18 años viajaré a Francia ya que es más barato, si tuviera más dinero, iría a Costa Rica porque sería más hermoso que Francia. Si ganara la lotería, compraría una casa en Costa Rica.

Your use of conditional with subjunctive is good, but I would make a few changes to other parts of your paragraph:

En el futuro, me encantaría ir a Costa Rica porque es muy soleado allá y hay un montón de gente que hace surf en Costa Rica y me gustaría aprender a surf. Asimismo, las playas de Costa Rica son preciosas y hay hermosas criaturas marinas que me encantaría ver. Por otro lado, es muy caro (without "para") visitar Costa Rica así que cuando tenga 18 años viajaré a Francia ya que es más barato. (new sentence) Si tuviera más dinero, iría a Costa Rica porque sería más hermoso que Francia. Si ganara la lotería, compraría una casa en Costa Rica.

I think living in France is much more expensive than Costa Rica, so if you are referring to the journey only then you should mention this, ie: "....viajar a CR" rather than "...visitar CR".

Welcome to the forum. Can you add to your profile your level of English (I assume fluent) and your level of Spanish.

Are you teaching yourself or do you have a teacher? Have you started studying the subjunctive?

If you want a native Spanish speaker to help, it can be useful to add the English version of what you have written - they learn from reading your English and have a clearer view of what you want to say.

Finally it would be a good idea if you label questions part 1, 2 etc or it can look as if you are just repeating the earlier question - I have looked and know they are all variations on the same theme.

When you are learning Spanish it helps to listen to different accents so trips to Madrid and Andalusia is great.
