    Oh my gosh! I live 20 mins from Granada and almost every time we go I see Juan.
    My family has built quite the relationship with him.
    And the best part is I found this channel by him showing me the sticker you gave him on his water bottle 🥹
    He is proud of it and I could tell it meant a lot to him 🫡

      @TheDufresnes  7 місяців тому

      Costa Rica is not expensive... It's not as inexpensive as everyone wants it to be. It's still less expensive to travel around Costa Rica then it was for us to travel in our own country. It's all relative to what you are comparing to.

      @@TheDufresnes guess you know where to go because since I traveled there back in 2015 found everything expensive, and not just me ( I was just one of a big group ) , just for reference I went to Poas volcano $15 for the entrance and was offered a $50 “package “ for lunch and a mini zoo tour really???

    Visited Nicaragua in May and was really hoping it would be my new place/country. The people were wonderful and I enjoyed myself. But, I was not sold. I hope to visit CR to see if I have different feelings. Regardless, Nicaragua is still a lovely country!

      Any chance you can explain some more. I recently went to CR and loved it. But where I was, Playa Coco , was a tourist town and very expensive. I was told nicaragua was a hidden treasure and much cheaper. Can you articulate what you liked or didn't like, and what cities you visited? Thank you. I'm really look forward to your reply.

      @@CMB4LIFE For 3 years during Covid, I read and watched everything I could about Nicaragua and truly believed Nicaragua would be a great next home for me. In hindsight, I believe I set my expectations too high and waited too long to visit to see if Nicaragua was everything I had envisioned. It was very dry when I visited in May and I was very surprised how dusty and dead the land and roads were. I visited Granada and San Juan del Sur which are both touristy places. Granada was a charming and lovely town. But when I tried to sit in the town square for any length of time I was approached by many people wanting to sell me items or asking for money. I never felt threatened or scared just sad that I could not help everyone and sit and enjoy myself in the park. San Juan del Sur was also touristy and not my cup of tea for a beach experience. Honestly, I'm not a big beach person so I probably should have selected a different place to visit. My biggest concerns were the stray and hungry dogs (heartbreaking) and the trash everywhere (the USA is getting pretty trashy too and we have NO excuse!). I have also been concerned about humanitarian and religious workers being thrown out of the country. Finally, a more recent temporary ban of bringing pets due to some kind of outbreak also had me thinking Nicaragua is probably not the place for me. Regardless, the Nicaraguan people are wonderful and as a single, female, 55 yo traveler who speaks essentially no Spanish, I never felt unsafe or scared even when staying and walking in Managua one night. If were to return I would visit Leon and Catarina. You should visit. Many people love Nicaragua and I can see why.

      Nowhere did we say it was a good price, if you notice I mention it's more of a touristy spot and you could find cheaper local places. This is to show how far $100 can go as a tourist new to the city
