Watching the three of you love life in Costa Rica is getting me so excited to bring my kids. My husband & I have been to CR twice, but we’re coming this summer with our 3 kids. Thanks to you both (and Shanti) we have some amazing places to visit. Thank you for all you do!
Hey! Thank you for that! It is a great place for the whole family. You guys will enjoy it! Glad the videos are helpful 😃😃😃
Our family just got back and we are headed again this winter for an extended stay. Trying a different region. What part are you going to?
@@jonathanbueltel9853 we have been in the tamarindo area. Where are you planning to check out?
@TheirHappyTrails we were in Nosara for 10 days. This winter we are spending 2 weeks in ea of the following Quepos/Manual Antonio, Jaco, Utiva area. Tamarindo if there's time. We have 4 kids and are transitioning away from the states. Trying to find where we fit the best with all of before we decide on a house

What an incredible day in the Life!
Thank bro! We are excited for you guys to join us!!!!

Thats right bro!! 😂 You get it 😂 Love you too brother!
Now that's a Day in the Life! Living the good life, Pura Vida! Now go get that DeWalt sponsorship Matt! It nice to meet you guys in the health store!
Absolutely lol! DeWalt sponsor on the way lol!! Nice meeting you too!
Suck it up bro! Love seeing yall! Really want to bring the ladies down!
LOL!!! You, of all people, would understand 😂 But yes, bro! That would be great. - Matt
Loving it! Fun and authentic! Wondering where do you find a private teacher? Is there a website you'd recommend?
Thank you so much for tuning in! We actually found our teacher at one of the schools we tried here. She was leaving that school and honestly the only reason why we were staying was because of her. So we left the school and asked if she wanted to teach our daughter privately, and she said yes!
One thing I would recommend is going on Facebook. There are Facebook groups for this area where people ask questions and talk about things all the time. It’ll be a good place to ask
It looks sooo gorgeous there . Not gonna lie im a bit jelly lol.. Enjoy every min guys . Love U Mucho 💓 💗
Yes, it is!! I read Jelly, and now I'm making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich 😂... Thank you haha!!! - Matt
Guys if you live here and she's over 5 she must go to a regular school with other kids (public or private) don't get in trouble because family law in this country is super strict 🤙🏻
Hey! Thanks for the heads up. We are not residents here and are leaving in a month or so. But I didn’t realize homeschooling was illegal here!
@@TheirHappyTrails oh no then you're all good, only for residents. Homeschooling Is allowed but they gotta go to the school with other kids anyways, because the government keeps track on the children because sometimes they need the early detection of malnutrition, domestic violence, lack of vaccines and others. Nah but then you're all good don't sorry! Pura vida jaja
@@joules_sw wow cool to know all of that. Thank you for the info!
Love your videos! Question, if you don’t mind. Stroller or carrier? We’re heading to Tamarindo end of May and have a 3 year old and 18 month old. Wondering if we should bring the double stroller or wearable toddler carriers? They can both walk, but like to be carried after about 10-15 min haha. Thoughts?
Hey! Awesome! Stroller will be fine! The roads are mostly good!!
What is the name of the snot fruit?
Hey! Erika here. Love that you call it the snot fruit 😂 It’s called a Granadilla! Same family as the Passion Fruit, but to me, totally different flavor. Thanks for asking!
What do you do for finances?
Like work wise? We have, over time, built up way to make money remotely :)
