I’ve lived here from Canada for 24 years and you are spot on about everything! Especially about the critters that we live with. Empty plastic peanut butter jars are excellent for catching and releasing scorpions and spiders. And yes everything gets moldy and mildewed. Don’t even think about leather, rubber, or printed photos. Good video❤

I moved to CostaRica 18 months ago, but I don’t live at the beach. In fact I’m the only gringo in my town. I live at 7500 feet of elevation and can almost see both coastlines. The weather happens every 3 minutes. The rainy season, which is now, is very wet! Every week 3-5 days of 30-50 mph winds and gallons of rain. In Florida it would be considered tropical storm with no schools and businesses closed and boarded up. It’s normal here. The people and the food are the best part of my community and I’m glad to be here!

Thank you so much for being so honest! This is the most helpful and direct video I've found so far on this subject!

Thank you for very informative video. Any recommendations on places to stay at the Caribbean side

Very useful information! Thank you for sharing.

Very helpful! Thank you, I have more peace about my trip in August.

Award winning schools? I'm not saying I don't believe you, but that's the first I've heard that phrase. I'm aware of La Paz and CRIA as good international schools in the vicinity, but what awards are talking about exactly? Enjoyed the video. Thanks.

This video was so helpful! Did you have to get your health certificate translated to Spanish? I am in process of getting our 3 pets certified so we can move to Costa Rica.

First timer going in August, scuba diving is something I've dreamt of doing. Do I have to be certified when I get there or do they teach you. TIA

Thank you so much for information! My gf and i booked a trip in August. Do you think we will have a good time? Im just worried about the rain.

Hi! This video is very helpful. What exactly is the health certificate? Also did you have to do this certificate: APHIS 7001 (Where you have to send it to Sacramento for stamping)? Getting somewhat confused about this, so any info would be helpful. Thanks!

I am going on a trip 6-15 of November, do you think it will be super rainy in the Manuel Antonio area? I’m really nervous it might be stormy the whole time and we won’t get to relax on the beach.

Pacific side is much better. This area is well known for drug smuggling and violence Beware!

Could you tell me how to find a good online job before I move to Costa Rica? I plan on going but I know I cannot work in Costa Rica unless I have a work visa.

Support the park otherwise it will be sold for development. It will become another mall with plants.

Thank you for the valuable information and I love your humor.

Thank you for the video but the 4th thing on the list that rhyme with Rug is going to keep me from going. It is nice you don't see to fear them, but I do. It is enough to cross costa rica off my list. I have never see anything you described in my home in my entire life.

I’m going to Tambor beach to check out a property and see if it’s what I want. This video helps a lot and will be making sure I’m aware of all these points will deciding if this is the area I want to be in. Thank you.

How is end of May beginning of June

Prices for rent in the area?

Very informative as I research a future vacation. Much appreciated.

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

hi! i’m confused about your 5:53 comment - is La Fortuna/Arenal (sunny 80s) considered caribbean? Always figured that was pacific weather. It’s where I want to do my bday but nervous for early/mid Sept

going next month, super helpful, thank you!

How is it in the Guancaste region in mid / late May?

Adding Utila to my travel wish list! Thanks!

Sarah Elena knows better than these folks. She’s been here 9 years and helps Expats for a living.

Thank you for all your information. I have not heard any of these tips from all the Costa Rica videos.

Are there many local sodas with inexpensive food nearby?

September isn't a good idea?

Just curious what type of currency do they take on the island

Love from India 🇮🇳

Apologies for strange audio levels! I recently purchased the DJI Mic and am having a little trouble getting it right 🙄🤞xo

Hi, can you tell me where you bought your portable power station? We are in Bejuco/Esterillos Este and want to buy one.

I know I’m late but I wanted to go for my anniversary on august 14th. I’m just going to an all inclusive resort. Will there be a ton of rain by the resorts?

Thanks. Planning right now to relocate to Costa Rica.

Why you don`t use a mosquito net? Doesn`t it help? I wonder that Computers will die sooner since they have Gold at the contacts and shouldn`t corrode, maybe the heat is the problem and the cooling system brings the heat not down enough.

Hi, I love your videos! We’re taking a trip to Barcelo Tambor, Costa Rica in a couple of weeks and we’re wondering where we can rent ATV’s or bikes? I’ve been doing research but can’t find any info. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you! :)

Really enjoy your videos. Thanks

Great Video and channel, slow down your clips as the video flows, you have great content! keep building ;-)

Thank you very much for your Tips! We plan to make a roundtrip at Augst/ begining of September. What do you think about Malaria at this time? Would it be advisable to take Artimisin powder for this 3 weeks?

Looks amazing, I am going to use some tips as I plan my trip! Thanks for sharing 😊

Hi, love your videos. We are going to Costa Rica in early April for 8 days. We won't have a car so we are thinking staying 2 days in Tamarindo, 4 in La Fortuna, 1 in Monteverde, and the last night in Liberia to be close to the airport. Do you think 4 days in La Fortuna and one in Monteverde is ok? Thanks and pura vida.

Nombre maje que buen video saludos desde guate

Planning a trip there august 25-sept 2nd. Is late august/early September still what you refer as legit rainy season? We want to go to Fortuna but at this time of year will we be able to see Arenal? We don’t want downpours everyday :) thanks

Beautiful I love it

As a Costa Rican, sin papaya. No way.

That was really awesome. Well filmed, edited, and great information for me before my move. I knew about the mold issue...but wow. Thats intense haha
