WELCOME BACK, ZOE ! We just returned from almost 1 month in Guanacaste & Alajuela Provinces - it was amazing ! We fell in love with the little town of Bijagua, just south of Upala. The view from La Casona restaurant on hiway 6 just outside of town was breathtaking - it reminded me of the song "On a Clear Day, You can See Forever" ! Seriously considering MOVING BACK to CR in the near future !

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

SO beautiful! It sounds like your time in CR was lovely! Moving here was one of the best decisions I have ever made and I highly recommend it!

Hi and thank you so much! The 1,000 subscriber mark is very exciting!! i couldn't have done it without you!

[@spanishwithisrael]

Hi Zoe, this is so exiting, thank you so much for sharing and including us in your amazing journey! You're most welcome HERE in CR. My family and I will be moving to the USA. I am a Tico (Costa Rican citizen) and have never been there, I kind of can relate to the "change" feeling you were talking about! :) Wish you all the best in your exiting JORNEY in CR!

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your support:)

[@spanishwithisrael]

Hi @@zoewilliamson_costarica! Have you ever visited Uvita? I really love the beach and view from the mountains over there. We enjoyed our honeymoon there, and for the first time for me did whale watching. 🐳 It was fantastic 😊 Recommended!! If anyone you know is ever interested in Spanish online private tutoring, por favor just LMK! ¡Muchísimas gracias por crear vídeos e interactuar con nosotros! :)

[@somsomvb1]

Would love to hear how living in Costa Rica has changed your family relationships/dynamics, what you miss/don't miss about your "old life," future plans; is the move permanent? Also, I'm sure the lifestyle, eating is so different; do you "feel" healthier/happier? Admire what your family has done!

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Thank you so much and I love hearing what you would like to see more of! I will keep this in mind for future videos

[@maxflight777]

Hi Zoe, nice to see you back, interesting fact, Costa Rica is the world's 2nd pineapple producer :)

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

I did not know that! Thanks for sharing! And yes, it feels great to upload another video:)

[@homeincostarica914]

Hi Zoe. Looks like its going great. I saw your first video a year ago. It just showed up on my homepage. Now I found the channel again. This time I did subscribe ;-) Greetings from the central valley ;-)

[@JoseFernandez-or4pt]

Awsome videos, you really have a talent for this! I'm from Costa Rica and i love to see your family's adventures since it's something most of us here only get to dream, keep up the videos please! I would love to get to know the real estate properties in our coasts like the ones you guys live in, believe it or not, we don't even get to know these awsome places since they are luxury homes non of us have the buisness or the money to enter.

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Hi there, thanks so much for your kind comment! And yes, i would like to include more real estate videos in here. I am working behind the scenes to do this by connecting with a realtor:) Pura vida!

[@MommasHappySchoolRoom]

Would have loved to hear whether there was anything you wish you would have brought with you in the move.

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

I can make a video about this! we wish we brought our kitchen stuff, tools, and kept some of our jackets because some parts of CR can get chilly!

[@ricardorodriguez9587]

Hola linda Zoe, he visto todos los videos que has publicado a lo largo de este año de estancia en el país , me he distraído mucho, me gustó también ver el material inédito, mi vídeo favorito fue cuando vinieron a San José . Eres muy bonita, llenas de belleza Costa Rica, saludos cordiales desde San José. 🇨🇷🇺🇸

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Muchas Gracias Ricardo! Pura Vida!

[@liverpoolrichie5305]

Hey Zoe! Have loved the journey you have taken us on over the last year! (Wow! a whole year...can you believe it?!!) Please keep the adventure going and I appreciate the true real-life adventures you share with us. Glad you are adding real estate into the mix and I will be here to support you guys!!! You have been very talented in producing your art projects, maybe you should draw some of your favorite memories so far and share with us. All the best to you and your family and hope to see you one day during our trip to CR. Cheers!!!

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Cheers Richie! Thank you so much for your support with this channel! It's comments like yours that keep me wanting to continue to create content to share with you guys. Thanks for the suggestions and I am glad you enjoyed the video!

Many blessings Zoe for you and your family. Happy first year here in Costa Rica especially in an area as beautiful as Guanacaste. "Pura vida" 😘😘👍

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Pura vida and thanks so much!

[@maukamarine3083]

Zoe, your excellent at making these videos! My favorite part of Your videos is showing what you guys experience locally. Explain if you can what is unique about the places you visit so the rest of us can plan to visit those areas. Also, Love your art so maybe a place where we can purchase? Thanks and the next time I see your family down there im going to say hi especially to your Navy dad cause it looks like we both have CH46’s/aviation in common.

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Thank you so much!!! And yes, I plan on road tripping in the near future around the country and would love to explain more in depth about each area:) Say hi if you ever see us !

Our journey begins in 6 months once we have completed building our home in Guanacaste. We have been looking for low Km Toyota 4x4. Any suggestions for help purchasing and navigating all the paperwork?

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Beautiful and blessings with your upcoming journey! We have a great vehicle guy who has helped us scout and add additions to our vehicle(s). Feel free to send me an email at [e-mail] and i can link you guys up. He may be able to support with the paperwork as well if you ask him.

How did ya'll ship the boxes/luggage you brought from the U.S.?

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Hi there, We flew with 2 suitcases each and then shipped 2 large pallets of boxes. We used a company "Get it here jerry" for the shipping of our boxes. If you decide to goto them, be sure to send me an email at [e-mail] and I can get you in direct contact with them:) Here is their website: www.getitherejerry.com/

[@alexandrabrannon8748]

Zoe! Thank you sooo much for sharing your journey! Can I ask why you guys chose the Osa peninsula? How do you feel about being more remote? Or is it not a big deal?

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Hi there! We chose this area because it is much more lush and less touristy than up North in the Guanacaste area. It is also more local too. We are in the Puntarenas region. Also working remote is awesome! I prefer it because I can create my own schedule but starting a business from scratch can be challenging but I am making it work along with the rest of my family who also works remote. If you have any more questions and/or considering moving here, feel free to send me an email at [e-mail] or follow/message my mom on Instagram @thejenwilliamson and we are happy to talk 1:1.

[@sarkakantorova2495]

Hi, I’m moving to Costa Rica, the reason is because I’m lost. I have never been truly happy where I have been living, so much so that I have been moving around a lot. What is your advice in moving to Costa Rica. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

Hi there, It's ok to feel like you are "lost." I have been there plenty of times and sometimes taking a leap of faith can feel this way but having hope something great is on the other side of it always helps

[@fernandobreneszamora222]

Seras biienvenida a nuestro pequeño país,Dios te bendiga,pura vida.

[@algae_rhythms]

What was the reason for moving house a 2nd time and why south of CR please ?

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

A variety of reasons- it is a lot more lush down south. up north it is dryer and more touristy. We prefer the lusher environment and it being a bit more rural in the southern region:)

[@algae_rhythms]

@@zoewilliamson_costarica thank you!! Lush is definitely my preference too. Hope you're settling well into your new home and community :)

Great Job!!! Thank You... :-)

[@algae_rhythms]

What platform did you use to sell everything?

[@zoewilliamson_costarica]

We had an estate sale when we sold everything:)

[@algae_rhythms]

@@zoewilliamson_costarica great idea. How did you advertise for it, if you don't mind me asking? And did you put a price tag on each item?
