    Hi guys, what an excellent video, they brought me to tears of nostalgia with this beautiful report that they did about their personal experiences that they have had since they came to live in Costa Rica. I miss my country very much with all my being because I have lived in Marseille France since 2014 and how I miss everything, my people and my land. I have not been able to return since 2019 and then with the pandemic I could no longer go, now I hope to be able to visit my family this year if God allows it. Thank you very much for choosing my country Costa Rica to come live with your beautiful family and for showing our culture and the natural wonders that we have in my country. They are a very beautiful family, and I wish them much success in all their upcoming projects.

    Hola chicos, que excelente video, me sacaron lagrimas de nostalgia con este hermoso reportaje que hicieron sobre sus experiencias personales que han tenido desde que se vinieron a vivir a Costa Rica. Extraño mucho a mi país con todo mi ser porque vivo en Marsella Francia desde el 2014 y como extraño todo, mi gente y mi tierra. No he podido regresar desde el 2019 y luego con la pandemia ya no pude ir, ahora espero poder visitar a mi familia este año si Dios lo permite. Muchas gracias por elegir mi país Costa Rica para venir a vivir con su hermosa familia y por mostrar nuestra cultura y las maravillas naturales que tenemos en mi país. Son una familia muy hermosa, y les deseo mucho éxito en todos sus próximos proyectos.

      Well that wasn't said in the comment, we get hundreds of people asking if they can "pick our brains" so we need to be clear to anyone that uses that term where our boundaries are, I'm sure you understand.

We realize that you made a comment, but you didn't say anything about the actual intention of your comment, therefore you came across like another random person wanting to contact us and try to take our valuable time "picking our brains" with a bunch of questions and having some bizarre expectation from us. It happens all the time, people are a bit crazy! 🤪 We provide all information (and then some) from start to finish about container homes in our videos all over the place so in that case people can spend some time watching the videos we have spent a lot of time and worked very hard on and put out publicly for free for everyone to view. Thought this was obvious and didn't mean to upset you. All the best and Pura Vida!

      I’m not sure where the Samara area is😬 but would it be possible to view a finished “Container Home” in person? My husband and I are planning to come out to look at areas, schools, etc, this summer. We’re making the move with our 2 children next summer….

    I live in northern Minnesota and plan on moving out of the country. I keep getting drawn to Costa Rica while doing my research. Me and my friend are going to come down a couple times on vacation to make sure that's the right move. Hope to find you guys down there to bombard you with questions lol
