Enjoy your vacation 😀 Pleasure to meet you..

I'm from small town Minnesota. I recommend doing 2 or 3 months in different areas...unless you really like or dislike?? San Ramon and Perez Zeledon are great Valley communities with perfect weather 👌 I'm in Puerto Viejo now and absolutely love it!! Not a beach person much...but the people are super chill!!! Happy Travels 😊

For FMP...yes. I am pretty sure you will get the same coverage once the hospitals here are tied in for that. Sarah Elena is in close contact with the person connecting Hospital Biblica and CIMA with the VA. It's the same person mediating...so to say...so should be easier. But it's the VA I'm 100% plus, so hoping for the outpatient services myself. They didn't list all of mine when I registered...if something is missing, have them adjust.

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever I guess what I'm saying is that in the US eith 100% I you can be treated for every issue. Even if it is not service connected because you are 100 percent. So the question would be is it the same outside of the US? Or is it jonlt service connected issues that are covered?

@alanm03 it is ONLY service connected issues listed by the FMP award letter. I also get optical, dental, etc...in the states due to my rating...everything is covered. The FMP is for S/C issues only....but it is global.

@alanm03 my 100% for PTSD doesn't do anything here. The other 80% Medical issues are covered once enrolled.

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever Okay thanks.

I grew up in Minnesota, but have lived all over. Mark Kellin if that helps??

Looks like your trying to bring america to Costa Rica with your manicured yards and gated community with no Chihuahuas barking

@kimanipatterson2653 😆 🤣 😂 they can stay there...it's nice and relaxing here. I moved to Puerto Viejo 2 months ago. Got a furnished house 100 yards from the beach for $700 a month. No Chihuahuas 😉 Sold the car and bought a bike...back to basics. Happy Travels 😊 😃

It's why I always buy inexpensive cars...yeah...they doctor the value gor taxing at every sale. I was floored about how many total frigging strangers wanted me to hold the note. No more cars for me. Can't use them around Viejo anyways...

Yes...exactly. Have you been?

Thank you 😊 How is Chachagua?

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever very good I need you to help me share for a dog who needs a responsible home, where can I send you a photo?

Only dangerous at night...like most places.

I guess the bars downtown are a blast...close enough to pop from. 1 to another real quick. Sundays are best for more locals from what I hear... .I have yet to make it out...just moved a couple months ago....give me some reviews please 🙏

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever I will be traveling back to America on Saturday. I hope to find something

@jamesjones2173 hit Hot Rocks....am sure you will find some people to go run around woth for a night or 2. I'm not into the bar scene anymore.... The people here are super chill 😎

Very relaxing 😌

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever 😅👍🙏

😆 🤣 😂 never bored....only relaxing and enjoying the simple things. Be well 😀

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever I gotcha

@user-uk3uj6zs1w a lot of people get caught up being belly up at the bar everyday. I rarely donk anymore, waste my money on good food these days. Just walking around and checking stuff out is very underrated. Trying to train myself to slow down and stop thinking...

Heya...yup, been in Viejo a month and a half. Super chill...love it here. Much cooler than that area with the sesbreeze.

Well that's very interesting. I was in San Ramon for 3 years after I got out of the Escazú Santa Ana area, and absolutely loved it. Mainly because of the climate, it was so perfect. But also the excellent feria and access to all the major conveniences. I was just looking to get closer to the water which is why I moved. I really like it here but miss the milder climate. Very interesting to hear it's not too hot in Puerto

@stokes111100 Perez Zeledon has the same climate as San Ramon...45 minutes to Domincal. This side is less people...off season...and cheaper than the Pacific. I just popped another video..

Thank you for the kind words. I had a great experience there. Now I am near Puerto Viejo....absolutely love it. Will be making a couple videos this week.... Take Care, Mark

Happy to hear. I hope all is working well for you 🙏 Out of curiosity....did they reimburse you with direct deposit or paper check? The reason that I'm asking is...a viewer in Thailand commented a couple days ago that they only did paper checks and was a pain over there.. Thank you 😊

What part of Mexico Johnny? I live in Mazatlan and go back and forth for my 6 month check. Don't mind it in the summer but no fun in the winter

@@garlandetheridge9902 I used the hospital in La Punta

Wow...WTF? This is for a S/C issue? What's the excuse from them??

Thank you for the intel. Don't they just add the reimbursement to your regular VA pay method? I was told 30 day reimbursement after receiving fax from Doctor's appointment with payment confirmation. Also, I was told that the FMP is not care giver specific...only service connected issue based? Any more up to date information is greatly appreciated!! Thanks Mark

@LiveSlowDieWhenever FMP pays separately from disability. I don't know who told you 30 days. It takes them that long just to read your claim. FMP is not Dr specific, just specific about service connected conditions and that all medications are US FDA approved.

@brianwl it's what they told me when I registered and got my award letter. I know that it's a separate payment, but same method. Seeing that it's direct deposit, I didn't see any problems coming...although, I have not used. This is what was told to me....If I made an appointment for approved SC issue, just fax the receipt to Denver with the VA form and would be reimbursed in 30 days. That being said, my award letter didn't include all of my SC issues. And I know 30 days is EXTREMELY optimistic when dealing with the VA. There are 2 hospitals in Costa Rica that are working to get directly linked to the VA and another that does CnPs. Thanks again for the information.

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever I see. Their website specifically states they pay by check. This is becoming a real problem because some countries no longer allow paper banking. As for your award letter, did you include a copy of your disability award page from the VA when you applied? They're generally pretty good about fixing clerical errors. Just need to show them where they messed up.

@brianwl Thank you very much for the information 😊 I did not include my award letters...mainly wanted to get registered and will adjust when needed. Will pass along the pay by check...

Not really 😕 Most household thefts are from a "friend" or employee of landlord. No real problems with strong arm robbery unless in a bad area at night. Security guards at complexes are deterrent, not protection. Observe and report, but don't really do shit. Just be mindful of situations and be careful trusting people....especially Ex Pats!! I am the only gringo in the Barrios that I live and feel very safe. More white people equals higher prices and more people trying to afford their lifestyle with your money. Is MUCH safer than the US these days...take your time and explore different areas a couple months at a time. You will find a nice fit for you. Happy Travels 😊 Mark

Mine is medium. I know a bunch of words, but putting them together is a different story...progress and perfection 👌 Bit the fact that I try goes a long way here. Timewise...if you only hang around expats speaking only English...will not happen. Best suggestion....learn the vowels...no long and short. Js are Hs and H is silent.... Happy Travels 😊 Mark

There are a ton of options here, depending on your happy place. I'll be moving again in the near future? Look outside of only realtors....not enough commission for them in the rentals. Happy Travels 😊

No, I honestly haven't been to a doctor here. A friend of mine does medical and dental tourism. He is a veteran and can help you with ALL of your questions very solid dude. Johnny Knows Costa Rica is his youtube channel.

Hope it helps 🙏

I heard the same thing about fireworks and Panama.

Vehicle and property ownership has nothing to do with visa status. So, YES 😀 They just kicked up the Visa stay to 180 days....verified. The drivers license is still only valid for 90 as of today...Sep 30, 2023. It's a new upgrade and am sure the DL will be in sync soon. I am a Perpetual tourist myself.

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever Yeah, saw the extension go affective just few weeks back. Great. Thank you for the heads up! Pura vida

What is your turn around time on FMP claims in Columbia?

My pleasure 🙏

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever Hola , I live in Orosi. Off to C and P in Boston next week

Waiting to go on more adventures 😉

Plenty of food on deck my man 😉

They still do here. Pretty cool 😎

Hit or miss my friend 😉

Hello, of course. The MultiPlaza is in Escazu. Very modern mall with many North American stores. I am going to Chinatown San Jose on Wednesday. Enjoy 😉

Those and the little avocados were the only things that were really high priced. Mamonies are right around the corner. Going to Chinatown next week 😬 Thanks for watching...more to come
