Oh my heart. Neo and his adorable laugh. He is growing so fast. This place is amazing….

[@addiebug]

Raya, you are literally glowing. Neo is absolutely adorable and such a bright little man. He is the perfect combination of you both. You are doing a wonderful job raising him.

[@katherinew1538]

Parenting in warm weather is so much simpler than in the cold!! Being outside, not worrying about big puffy jackets and hats and shoes and gloves etc etc etc is definitely the best!

[@karendavies6426]

Some aspects are easier, but I birthed and raised three children here in CR and there are still lots of concerns and hassles like insects, snakes, and tropical diseases. But it's still an amazing place to live!

[@katherinew1538]

@@karendavies6426 oh I definitely wouldn’t say easier! I think it’s hard in all climates! Just simpler to not have to pile layers and layers on just to go outside.

[@griselapuerta8644]

Neo is just feeling free without extra clothing. This makes him so happy and healthy. Bless him. Enjoy your time in Costa Rica and be safe. 😊

[@emilyirene519]

Omg my heart your baby boy is living his life to the fullest thanks to his incredible parents. He is so so so blessed with you guys. Amazing beautiful precious family.

[@darcyballard253]

Neo is happy because his mommy and daddy are happy❤❤❤

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

Love you guys so much and am so excited to have you here and for us to be neighbors (literally staring at your bus from our Airstream right now) and getting to raise are kids together. Xoxox

[@RayaandLouis]

Love you both so so much!! ❤️

[@LissaAOE]

Already commented, but I had to add another-Raya, your hair is gorgeous! The natural waves in the humidity are so pretty

[@MadddyDawn]

I love Neo’s eyebrows. Women pay lots of money for eyebrows like that . He’s such a rockstar.❤ I forgot that pizza cutter is so much better than my mine which barely works. I’m on the hunt for the ultimate pizza cutter. It’s really beautiful there and community feels safe, friendly and welcoming.

[@bethb7965]

I use scissors to cut my pizza, much easier!!

[@jace1101]

The forest was just roaring with insects. Incredible!

[@sydneylinh_]

It’s crazy how healing sun is 🌞

[@amstergal]

Deep sigh, I feel so relaxed watching.... I find myself longing for a new video from you all and so happy to see you today! Have a beautiful week ahead!

[@IYQ2U]

This is "Life" ~ All three of you are shining with beam ~ You can tell how happier you are being at your home ~ Thank you for showing us those 🐒 Monkeys 🐒 ~ Keep us posted of this life of real ~ ♡♡♡

[@anitawalkup79]

There is nothing better on earth than a baby laughing❤

[@funsizereacts]

You guys are literally the definition of "manifest" 😊. I'm so happy you guys, especially Neo, are loving your first week back in Costa Rica. Excited for your future plans and adventures 😁

[@christip20]

He’s happier because he’s picking up the “happiness” of his PARENTS! You guy’s are like two happy Babies too! L O L! You know he’s got to pick up on the feeling’s of those he’s closest to & it’s very, very obvious how happy you are to virtually everyone…..It’s Magical!

[@I_am_Lauren]

You guys are GLOWING and thriving! Your energy shift is so positive!

[@meercatt]

What an amazing place! That shrieking from the forest would slowly drive me mad tho😂😂❤❤

[@tonyaruth2527]

19:45 he is picking up on how relaxed and happy you all are at being there

[@elaine4498]

Neo is an absolute star. What a chilled baby

[@rebeccamaas6054]

[@brianna88]

I'm soooo happy for you guys! I can't wait to hear more about your friends in the community and all your adventures to come! Yay!

[@chamellieon]

Thankyou for putting in the effort to update and take us on your journey. You both have a wonderful energy and I love tuning in each week to see whats progressed

[@coralshaw9865]

I love the community you have found down there. The communal garden and area is amazing. I agree with Louis with wishing we were back to how we could just drop in at neighbors unannounced and growing up/raising children together with them. Wish you all the best and cant wait to follow your amazing journey.

[@areejali2070]

Hello, I love your energy. It is full of love. I liked the idea of ​​living in Costa Rica. I hear a lot about it, but it is very far from everything like the hospital. It is a bold step to live there. In any case, I love you. I have been following you from Saudi Arabia since 2019. I wish you the best. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@kimossi1]

That may be one of my favorite videos ever. I am so happy for you! I have been to Latin America several times and I love seeing you enjoying the vibes, the warm air, the beautiful calm and grounded an connected energy. Big hugs😊

[@marieneu264]

15:10 only her hair could get more beautiful in all that humidity!!! So pretty!!!

[@ashleyallen7976]

Seeing you guys as parents is so adorable! You have found your calling!

[@biddiemutter3481]

12:48 those 'lessons ' paid off, he looks really relaxed in the pool, and not having to worry about being warm, fewer clothes and summer foods and more 'social weather ', must be so nice!

[@Allah_knows_your_heart]

The sunsets are so beautiful in Costa Rica, the fruits and foods look so delicious and you look really happy shining from inside. You guys obviously love the heat and get energized of it.

[@cosmictogaparty]

Love seeing you all in Costa!!! 🎉 Kids (los guilas) are beautifully loved and treasured there. 😊 Pura Vida! 🪷

[@shebaelizabeth]

Gosh, Costa Rica life suits y’all! It seems like pure heaven. Neo looks so happy and content 🤍 Beyond excited to see next week!

[@marymary1976]

the healthiest thing in life is to relate, talk and share, welldone!! community is so positive!!

[@kimberlypuravida5690]

My favorite video in a long time. Been waiting for the return to the land of Pura Vida! We live on the Nicoya Peninsula north of your wedding location towards Samara. Besos y abrazos!! For scorpions and cockroaches make tarantulas feel welcome and safe. Rock walls give them nice nesting. We see a tarantula about once a month working hard for us. We NEVER see scorpions anymore and rarely see cockroaches with and open air kitchen, dining, social area at ground level! Also encourage geckos as well. Nature's way to keep things safe.

[@TheSarasa9]

So happpy to finally see you living your dream life in Costa RIca! Cannot wait to see more of it each week😊

[@user-rx7yj2hb6o]

Beautiful to see the 3 of you living in Costa Rica! My husband and I just built a home there and we're moving in next month, so it is super exciting to see your jungle vlog as it gives us a taste of what's to come for us! Gardens to build, food forest to plant and grow, this is all so exciting! Much Love from Colorado 💛

[@JulianaLucilleDagenais]

i love these videos! i’m so happy for you guys!!!!

[@williamrusling6226]

Check under your pillows every now and then, when I was staying in Ciudad Calon I found a scorpion under my pillow a few times. So glad your loving Alegria, great place, visited there when I was in Costa Rica, your lucky you bought when you did, I think their either sold out or might have a few lots left, great atmosphere for kids to grow up.
