Not sure if you'll see this but I was just curious, do you own a car? I mean at all. A few travelling vloggers I know simply don't own a car at all. I always wonder how that works out overall. P.S. I worked in Wi for 2 years. All over, top to bottom all along the Mississippi, all along the Illinois border, Waay above Black River Falls to waay above green bay, 300 feet in the air on towers overlooking Baraboo and Reinlander during summer and winter storms. Milwaukee rooftops and Towers and also Madison (UW). At the time, I worked for one of the 3 major carriers. Like Johnny Cash, In Wisconsin, I been everywhere man. Originally from SoCal though.

I was in Costa Rica just a few months ago, however, mostly in smaller towns in Puntarenas, just a little in San Jose. It's kind of funny, but I was just telling some people what an incredibly safe and wonderful country it was, very different from some parts of Mexico. I guess it all depends where you go and whether or not you are carrying a camara, but I had an incredible experience and the people were amazing and very patient with my sub par Spanish, I didn't run into too many English speakers, so it really tested my skills.

After a long time laying off returning to Costa Rica, I returned last December and did a logistical night at Balmoral on Avenida Central, I was dismayed. he hotel went into lock-down and had to exit out of indoor parking after hailing a attendant to upon the gate. It's a fire-trap. I knew CR as a kid before issues and influx from Nicaragua and it was a dream. Things to change, unfortunately. I returned in Nov. and again Feb. to do the Areval-Monteverde-Manuel Antonio circuit and had no issues. Most of hotel staff is Nica. Despite that, returning next week for 9 nights in Puerto Viejo. My last night before departure will avoid central San Jose. It's still worth it.

I live in FL now, and the airfare is cheap and only a three hr flight. It's a relief from the long-hauls to se Asia I've been taking. ........ I'm not cheap, but I ain't going to be a sucker for gringo pricing. I speak the idiosyncrasies and I can get away where a regular tourist might not. ......... All my cousins raved about Puerto Viejo and I finally went there last year x 4nts, and I finally found my vibe. I'm returning there next week for 9nts for a chill vacay with some hiking. Some restaurants are really good there and have some in mind. I booked a 2br Airbnb across a dirt road from beach at Punta Uva. I plan to buy a a throw-away grill and cook most of our food in outdoor set-up this place has. I already now when farmer's markets operate, and which carnerceria & fish market I'm going to get my stuff. I just need to know to get me a few blunts. LOL ! I'll probably spend more in ten days in CR than what I would do in a month in Thailand. We went to Egypt also last May, it was even cheaper there........ It's going to be Tuanis en el Caribé.

I totally disagree with this video and what you’re saying I’ve been going to Costa Rica for 20 years and never had a problem. They are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. Please get your facts straight before you post a negative video about a country. Truthfully, you do not understand. One of the reason

[@AdventureElliot]

Did you watch the video? I showed the current state of a part of the capital. Did you know Costa Rica has a problem with immigrants? Did you see the generosity? Did you hear the immigrants stories? Did you hear the police warn me? Lastly, before you post a negative comment check out my other videos in Costa Rica where I show only positivity and the ticos for who they are.

Si es feo, huele mal y mucha indigencia mas los drogadictos y demasiados migrantes ilegales.
