  • I can't believe I've moved around so much and if you do make it through this long video, you'll understand why the home I have built now is so special to me!
    It's been a long journey over the last almost 9 years, and I wish I could fit everything into this video, but here's ALL of the homes I've lived in since moving to Costa Rica and how much I paid for each one :)

    Great idea for a video. Showing people different styles of houses that are in Costa Rica. Most people have no idea!!!

    Wow, I lived in 20 places in CR in March, Ive been homeless for 1.8 years now and have moved to CR or visited a couple times, and as there is a housing crises where I am from, have been in 5 places just in April, so 20 times in 9 years seems like a dream. 2 times a year basically. One day I will have a show of all the dumps, places and stories of what its like to move as a woman in her late 50s in a housing crises with no income at the moment and show my photos. I could write a book on my moves and my times. Ahhh, to be young and have a beautiful home, seems like a dream, I guess you created your dream. Good for you for having built a beautiful life. But just as a comment, 20 times in 9 years is not a lot of moves, it just probably feels that way. I dragged my luggage in the heat in March in CR being sent on wrong buses all the time, with no budget for a car rental and survived and ended up in dumps or overpriced airbnbs all in the hopes to find my own home for the future. Hasnt happened yet but finally a sublet for a month. That feels like luxury. Be grateful for what you have, 2 homes is something most people wont ever have in their lifetime, or even one. I wont own a home. I guess having a Your tube channel and having retreats and having people hire you to help them built those houses. Im not being cynical, just pointing out you did it, so enjoy it.

    Sarah, thank you for showing your Costa Rica journey via your many, many, many (did I mention, many? :-)) homes. It was very informative to see the pre - and post-covid prices and accommodations. I would hope that in your looking back on your journey here, you would say that it was all worth everything you've experienced up to now. If it hadn't been for your individual experience, I would not have had the immense fortune of meeting you and your wonderful team to hold my hand while I transitioned to this amazing country!

    I always appreciate your videos for the knowledge you impart and the raw honesty of your experiences. Great storytelling. Love this video's approach to chronicle the life you have lived in CR by systematically reviewing the houses you lived in. You were so fearless to do what you did and what a life you have created. Kudos to you. I contacted you when I first considered buying a house in CR a few years back and before I knew it I just sort of came down, drove around for two weeks and made an offer on a home and eventually closed. So only one home in CR but glad my experience has turned out well. Pura Vida Sarah

    • @SarahElenaDesignsLife
      @SarahElenaDesignsLife  2 місяці тому +1

      It depends… most rentals YES charged a deposit.
      For the $100 jungle cabin no, the hostel no, and the cabina in dominical no. But everywhere else yes.

    Great Video, very helpful and informative and a great perspective on renting in CR. Wish they had a video like this that featured 10-20 current homes for sale in CR. Trying to get info (price, location) on homes actively for sale is a pain. You have done very well in a relatively short time.

    Hi Sarah, life is a journey and you proved it with all you went through and accomplished I’m very impressed. I’m here now looking at real estate in Atenus and Grecia and hope to move to Costa Rica. I do have an opportunity to purchase a lot in Tamboi. Thinking of going with a mondule home instead of constructiing a house. Take care and how is your daughter doing ?
