How is the pandemic situation where you are? What do you think of the restrictions here in Costa Rica? ➡️ Check out more of my Costa Rica series here ua-cam.com/play/PL7n3lFk0fWoDP5SPCZk4h1yer91Rfk4Mc.html
Hey bro, good to hear you are having a great time in my country. You are correct, due to our government efforts the Covid cases have been decreasing, thanks GOD. Pura vida!!
Great information! Costa Rica is one of the countries I want to go this coming May since I heard that its security/safety is relatively good in central/south America. (is that true?) I've never been to Central/South American but I've been to South Africa and it was not comfortable to always care about your belonging and such. Only downside might also be the wet weather during their summer- (how long do you plan to stay there?). Anyways- thank you for the insight!
You Express concerns and are mindful of others . This is Outstanding ,how long will you be there , I need alot of info about C.R. I plan to retire there in a few years. Right now Brazil and India are going thru pure Hell. Covid is MUTATING and I'm SPEECHLESS. GOD BLESS AND BE SAFE YOUNGSTER.
The problem is a widespread proliferation of misinformation and contradictory news. Just the other day, there was a story that Wales had no plan to open up until 2022 and then yesterday the chief minister announced easing of rule from today. It is very curious that countries like Costa Rica, Cuba, Belarus, Ukraine, and much of Africa have virtually reverted to pre-Covid positions without rampant spikes when countries in North America and Europe had rampant spikes despite lockdown measures.
Already many countries are requiring tourists to have been vaccinated in order to visit. I believe going forward this will be the future of international travel to some countries; i.e. a vaccine passport. I told my wife, we should get vaccinated not because of COVID but more because we intend on traveling internationally this year.
Exactly what I’m thinking and planning for! I will be home in the US in May. I will spend a month there visiting family and friends and getting vaccinated!
It’s more or less the same here in Thailand, I’ve been here since March 2020, sure glad I stayed here as I had a flight to the Philippines. I’ve been to Costa Rica it’s a beautiful country! I’am from the UK and met some American expats while I was in Jaco, had a great time there.
wow enjoy the trip to Costa Rica. Beautiful dogs, they are very friendly. Wow I wouldn't like to go to that country no way. I love Costa Rica is beautiful.
I was also living in the Philippines for 4 months and had to leave too because it got so strict to the point that it made it too difficult to live. Now I'm going to Costa Rica in 3 weeks too. I'll be around Guanacaste but will have a car to tour around the country.
CR is much more relaxed and the cases are low. All that outdoor living and Ticos are very civic-minded and respectful of what's needed to keep the country open. A truly great place. Be sure and head to the Nicoya peninsula (either Montezuma od Santa Teresa).
Thanks for the video Pat! You have yourself a new subscriber! What's funny is you were just in the Philippines for a year and I want to go there but I can't yet because of the pandemic. While I wait for the Philippines to open up again, I've been debating on somewhere else to go and I'm heavily considering Costa Rica. I would like to travel to Costa Rica for 90 days, find a rental property on the cheaper side that would come with good internet for working online and be in a safe area with a hospital nearby if something were to happen to me. If you have any advice or recommendations for me based off of what I'm looking for, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I look forward to following your journey!
Thank you for the comment and welcome to the channel! I work online too and my experience with the internet here so far has been great! There are a lot of cheaper and affordable rentals around Costa Rica. I think it depends on what kind of area you would like to be in. Near the beach or mountains, more people or less people.
@@PatMaxAdventures I would say I want to be away from the beaches, less people, be in higher elevation with good air quality. Do you know if it's better to search for rentals in person in Costa Rica or online? If online, which sites would you say are the best to use? Thanks buddy
@@DJ33970 I am still new year so I don’t know all those details. I would suggest starting online and then looking more in person once you’re here in Costa Rica.
@@DJ33970 how you doing? As a costarrican and based on what you are looking for, I can recommend you Cartago area. Take a look of this video and good luck! : ua-cam.com/video/mpF45iMg5eI/v-deo.html
First time viewer here, and now a subscriber. Love the fact that you are willing to think of other people and wear a mask, and not complaining "how it's a violation of your rights". Very refreshing.
I think coming from Seattle Costa Rica is a little relaxed but it’s working for them 🤞🏼. However, it just takes one person 😕 and the Philippines is on the other end of the spectrum 😳. Do what makes sense to you and stay safe wearing Masks 😷 and condoms 🧦😆
Hi Patrick always love your vlogs, do you think international travel will be back to normal by Xmas with worldwide vaccination? Costa Rica looks great but put off by costs. When are you going to Panama and have heard Leon and Granada in Nicaragua are fantastic. Are the locals as friendly as in the Philippines? Stay well Patrick lots of love to you and all from an Irishman, Gerry
Thank you for the kind message! I will definitely be going to Panama later this year. Not quite sure when though. Either June or October- November. It’s hard to plan far ahead right now.
What a great place to be ,so relaxed, I'm hoping we will be able to travel safely next year, I'm desperate to visit japan ,my life long dream. You stay safe Pat, 🙂.
In Singapore you still need to wear mask 24/7. But we started doing Vaccination shots. So hopefully more countries are opened up to travellers who already taken Covid19 vaccination. Will take mine soon just because I want to prepare myself going to Jeju Island next year.

Yes, you bring up interesting points.

Exactly what I’m thinking and planning for! I will be home in the US in May. I will spend a month there visiting family and friends and getting vaccinated!
@@PatMaxAdventures Where is home in the US? I'm located in NYC.
@@KenMathTeacher I’m from San Diego.
I will be gong to Costa Rica for a college program, called verto education I’m really excited, place looks so beautiful. I really can’t wait!🧘🏽♂️
That’s great!

That’s great. I miss Thailand a lot and can’t wait to go back!
not any more! in Thailand atm at its getting uncomfortable with the mask and vaccine agendas. exploring Costa Rica or Mexico options now
wow enjoy the trip to Costa Rica. Beautiful dogs, they are very friendly. Wow I wouldn't like to go to that country no way. I love Costa Rica is beautiful.
The dogs are great and Costa Rica is beautiful!
Excellent topics, fun video

I know exactly what you mean! Good luck on your trip to Costa Rica!
Costa Rica's covid cases is a lot lower compared to the Phils. I wonder how they did it..
I think partly because it’s a smaller population that is spread out.
CR is much more relaxed and the cases are low. All that outdoor living and Ticos are very civic-minded and respectful of what's needed to keep the country open. A truly great place. Be sure and head to the Nicoya peninsula (either Montezuma od Santa Teresa).
I agree with you. Thank you for the suggestions!

How much is the insurance cost? Around 20$?
Depends on the insurance. Mine cost $100 for three months.
@@PatMaxAdventures May I know what insurance you chose? I'll be visiting in July.
The Philippines situation is getting worst now! You made a good decision to leave Manila!!
I just read about that. I’m very happy with my decision to leave when I did!

Great information, Do you know when they are getting rid of the insurance requirements. Im planing a trip to Jaco in October.
I don’t know. October is a long ways away. A lot could change by then.

Doggy get Jealous 😄😎👍
I think C.R. say Like an Amazing place...
Yes, it is!

That’s good to hear about Singapore. I’m going home to the US in May and will get my vaccination then. I really want to go back to Jeju too!
@@PatMaxAdventures I have been wanting to go Jeju Island for so long. So I have everything will be ok by next year.
Costa Rica is the place to go then, they got more sense😊😊😊
It’s definitely a great place to be right now. Everything is open and numbers are still dropping.
I’vd had covid and I’m going to take the vaccines in couple days and be ready for the trip. thank you for the video!
I’m glad to hear you are better now!
it was like a flu plus loosing smell and taste, but overall it wasn’t too bad tho
Hi Patrick!! Have fun in Costa Rica 👍
Thank you!
