As a Costa Rican i welcome you guys with all my heart but please learn and show more about my country than the nature. People get the idea that this is only what we are and it is not true. You have a huge platform and I hope that in the future you can show all the difficulties of our country and participate activily in the community. I know the eco comunity sounds great but that is not the reality for us and we need more exposure in those issues. Use this experience to actually understand us and not live in the treatment of what we call "the bubble forgein". I have follow you guys for many years but I have seen a huge lack of information about my country in more that just we are pretty place due to nature. Take trips to the capital, to our cities away for the pretty places and learn and I believe that that content will be very beneficial for your chanel and your personal growth. Sending lots of love! Take care guys

Beileve I see this reality everytime that I travel abroad. I just want to give them a hand to have a complete experience and sharing information that could benefit both parts. It like coming to your house for a party and not helping you clean after. I'm not oblogated but it is a courtesy because it is not my house. This is not a hate comment at all. But as a teacher, mother and costa rican I want to share my experience.

When I moved to the jungle side of Maui 4 years ago, I got a deep initiation into mold abatement! Dehumidifier is definitely the way to go... damp-rid is only moderately ok, for leaving in a bathroom / kitchen cabinet perhaps. When you're building your home make sure to have lots of outlets in your closets. I've managed to make my closets (generally the problem area for mold) amazingly mold-proof through having a combo of mini-dehumidifiers, small fans, and "goldenrod" heating rods. I can even keep leather safe in my closets, and most folks who live here just have to throw away all of their leather. Hygrometers are your friends when it comes to knowing whether your climate-control measures will be successful. Placing a heating element like a goldenrod or similar small boat or rv heater under any drawer unit is also key for keeping mold out of drawers. Damp-rid isn't strong enough for drawers, you'll need something that plugs in like a mini-dehumidifier or small heating element. For cleaning mold off things that are salvageable, we use tea tree oil diluted with 90% alcohol, it actually kills the mold better than bleach. Also watch out for any untreated wood, it will be a mold magnet and you just have to scrap it. If you're using plywood in the bus, it should be pressure-treated and then also sealed with some kind of water sealer. Bamboo can be a pretty bad mold magnet as well. And lastly, for your health, it's a great idea to use an ozone generator to sanitize your living space from mold. We turn it on when we leave the house, maybe once per week if it's a bad rainy spell and you have a damp house. It will kill mold spores before they burrow into wood and things and get to be a huge problem. I do a great job keeping mold at bay nowadays, but even though I'm not seeing any, I might notice my breathing gets a little congested, but then clears right up after an ozone treatment.

Hi, I am costarican from the central valley and I really like your channel. 1- The insects are relentless in the country, we use n FUMIGADORA BIOPLAGAS to keep away the small ants in our house they work with natural derived products. 2- Loui that small moisture control bucket is going to be full so fast that won't bader with those. 3- Rain: The past 4 weeks have being tough because the influence of tropical fenomena it shouldn't be this bad in june. But somebody told me we have 4 times more rain than seattle wich is one of the most rainy places in the US.

Living in the tropics, I can tell you that within DAYS of you putting that "Damp Rid" around your bus, they are now COMPLETE "water" and useless. Your best bet is the dehumidifier, maybe even two of them! It will be a never ending battle in that climate but you'll get through it. Hate to tell you but you will end up washing everything you vacuum sealed as they will have a damp, musty smell in them. Will you be allowed to install a cistern on your property? Loving your videos!

Hi, here in Arkansas as well as Florida, Moisture / Humidity with mold is a big issue as well. Those little humidity rid containers only last few weeks ( no way 3 months). That's how much humidity we are dealing with. Ants, will not cross a white chalk line ( I make several "X" chalk marks at my outside door entryways. Weird, I didn't believe it, until I did it at my house. Ants & rodents do not like peppermint oil. I have put peppermint oil around nest. Ants will go off leaving in all possible exist points where I didn't place oil. Boric acid powder by ant nest too. Bird 🐦 watching is no age limits. Many bird watching meetups are so much to attend & learn, globally. Best wishes, on your travels as newlyweds!🌞😊🌞

My husband and I lived part time in Costa Rica for 6 years in a small coffee growing village. Tico style house. We learned to live with the “bichus” which is what the Ticos call insects and other small creatures. We are avid birders. Check out the Bird Club of Costa Rica. We took many trips to interesting places with this group of English speaking birders. A good pair of binoculars is more important than a long lens. Get a copy of the field guide by Garrigues and Dean. For more information get a copy of Stiles and Skutch. We are a lot older and left because of health issues. But we are going back in December for the first time in 3 years And get to know your Tico neighbors

The birds are beautiful, but it's good that the monkeys have not come to where your bus is parked. They can do a lot of damage and they're very brazen. And if they get inside they' often trash the place. My experience is months in Rishikesh India. They would sometimes even come in to the yoga class where they were actually some large men participating in the class. And no one tried to stop the monkeys from ripping the cushions apart because it can be very dangerous to confront a monkey.

Appreciate your honesty. Likewise, I want to share my experience with using many of those same DampRid things in an environment not even as damp as yours is the amount of water they absorb is an unnoticeable "drop in the bucket" when you have that much damp in the room. If your stuff stays dry, it will be because of that machine Louis rigged up. So next time you can probably skip the DampRid.

Welcome back to upstate NY! I started following you last year and didn’t remember your family is in Hudson. I live in Albany not so far away so it’s weird for you guys to be coming all the way from Costa Rica to so close all the sudden. I guess that’s vlog travel life.

Love your content!! Congratulations on your new property!!! I am looking to move to CR may 2023 and looking into buying land! Noticed that you said your family is from Hudson, such a small world because I grew up in Hudson NY currently still living here. Thanks for posting ❤️

You two are awesome and everything will be a blessing. Will your puppy be coming back to live with you when you return to Costa Rica? I look forward to more of your birding hobby. What brand is your hand held vacuum? Also Anker is a brand I trust. Thanks for the update and enjoy your trip/s.

Damp rid works a little but not much. I gave up buying them but i got window air conditioners instead.

Thank you for being transparent. Is there security at Alegria? Are you concerned about the bus getting caught in a flood?

Yes there’s security! They’ve been very aware of the rains Whitt building roads, infrastructure etc so there’s a lot of irrigation channels. I hope it’ll be ok!

Does your spanish have an english accent, lol? My wife & I spent a total of 5 weeks in CR this year, and we love it. We're interested in doing something similar, splitting our time between CR and the pacific northwest. Can you give me a hint as to what your plot ended up costing? Thanks, pura vida!
