Well done Mike! I agree "Costa Rica is on the verge of exploding" We own a restaurant in Playas Del Coco and love the balance of life and work. We are actually expanding our brand! Totally worth the move to Costa Rica. No regrets.
LOVE THIS GUY, VERY HONEST ANSWERS, ALMOST SEEMS LIKE HE'S CANADIAN NOT AMERICAN. LOVE THE RIC FLAIR LOOK
This was so informative. Great interview! I am from the Virgin Islands and we had the book "Don't Stop The Carnival" in our family library. I laughed at Mike's mention of this!!!! Took me back to my childhood.
Great interview.Missed that place when I was there but will seek it out next time.Very well done.
As an American seriously considering a move to CR, this was a spectacular video. My career allows me to work anywhere, but I would love to buy an existing business where I could assist and have supplemental income.
sir, can you ask Mike Holly is he is interested to buy a 8415 sqm beach lot in Malapascua ?
Going back to San Jose the landscape was out of the jurasic period expecting Tyranno Saurus Rex to appear at any moment. Speedy Gonzales got me fast outa there.
Jan Folke Rørvik, I also love the Jurassic looking landscape.
Nice interview :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
The cost of living in Costa Rica is much cheaper than in Europe.
Love your videos, love Costa Rica! Live the dream !
Is this a recent trip, I would love to come dine at Mike’s place, but is it open right now? Costa Rica 🇨🇷 is a dreamy place. What is the date of this interview? Looks like pre Covid?
Doug Miller, This was before the pandemic and I think Mikes's place is closed right now. I think the information is still very good.
Great Island Life! Wuhoo
A WANDERFul Day, Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
it is not an island 😤
Remember the young guns buying into property right on the beach in Tamarindo, and got a mudslide into it as an extra bargain.)
Where's Mike Holly now? The restaurant is closed.
Many Americans,Canadians ,Europens,Australians,Argentineans;Russians and others live in Costa Rica
Chief Runner, I agree. I love that there is an international community there. You can always find a restaurant with a foreigner offering unique food from their home country.
Im a surfer from Hawaii and used to frequent the Philippines but they seem to prefer to stay closed. This means I am now looking at Colombia or Costa Rica. Is life better there than in the Philippines? I like socializing and good vibes... nature.. Thanks!
Doug, Costa Rica has very friendly people like the Philippines. Life is very good in CR but you will find it more expensive than in the Philippines. I will be posting more about the cost of living in Costa Rica in the near future.
@@NL-mn2vl lol WTF
@@NL-mn2vl Golddigger, watchout for those, they are everywhere in touristy areas.
That's Being an immigrant not an expat
How many times you have been robed in CR? Do you know real meaning of Pura Vida?
