    This was EXACTLY what I was looking for! I had no idea what Samara town looked like and now I do. Thank you so much! We used to go to Mal Pail every year for almost 8 years. Now, after many years, we need some sun and want to go back to Costa Rica. Samara sounded perfect to us, quiet but with everything we might need. We'll both have our covid vaccines completed so we want to come to Samara in April. Really looking forward to it and thank you so much for your great videos!

Last time I commented on something and a Canadian guy replied saying that I could also try living in Calgary, Toronto or even Montreal or Quebec ( people might be friendly there) I also wanted to say that My mom in central pacific is selling a land for $100.000. Do u know any place where I could post the land ? I have not met any Canadian who might want to live in Costa Rica but I would love to talk to people about it bc I consider is very cheap... thank u! There is nothing I have to warn u about Costa Rica. The only thing is that be aware with those ignorants ticos who like to take advantage of Tourists bc they think that people from Canada or USA or Europe have a lot of money ( which is not true bc I have friends who study on Schorlarship, don’t own a house and are very poor). Try to meet ticos who have lived abroad or a ticos who travels ( they are more open minded).

    My wife and I bought residency in Panama about a year ago then went to Costa Rica and fell in love with the place. I've read that to obtain residency in Costa Rica we would need to buy property worth $200 000. Is that permanent residency with the option to obtain citizenship later or merely a one year visa that has to be constantly renewed?

    • @TheDufresnes
      @TheDufresnes  4 роки тому +1

    Hey "machos", great vids/and a sweet setup, nicest container conversions of all cyberspace. There is something though...it's the use of "Pura Vida" in greetings. It seems that everyone from Samara to La Fortuna uses it, and it sounds kinda "Touristy". To set yourselves apart and sound more local, try the following alternatives to spice up your "Ticospeak".
    "¡Tuanis!" (TOO-AH-nees)
    "¿Qiubo?" (Kee-OOH-boh).
    "¿Que Pasò?/¿Pasò?" (Kay Pah-SO/Pah-SO).
    "¡Toda!" (TO-dah).

    • @TheDufresnes

    • @shaynadufresne
      @shaynadufresne 4 роки тому +2

      "Machos"? Sorry...last time I checked, I wasn't a male. Also, if you spent enough time here and in many of the areas of Costa Rica you would notice that pretty much every place, beach town OR city even uses the phrase "Pura Vida". It is way more of a local phrase than a tourist phrase like you claim to be knowledgeable about. Rarely do you hear "tuanis", unless it's the local surfers speaking to each other or others passing by...and in 3 years of being in many different places we have never heard the other phrases that you mention. Regardless, talking about phrases people say or "should" say is a bit silly. Speak how you feel comfortable speaking, no one is here to try and be a certain way by the terms that they use in order to set themselves apart from being a tourist or a local.
