    Just found your channel ! Like it, I did similar jump... 4 year ago, I left france for the Hudson Valley NY... because my job was making me crazy, my ex husband, too much people around, not enough air... I packed few box and my son and few weeks after I fly to US... I was not an English speaker (very poor English and remain not perfect). But right after few hours, I feeled the same freedom, no more pressure, the positive mood and be no one in middle of NYC remain the best feeling ever. Important is to always keep in mind than we are not tree, we can move and choose to do what make us happy and align with you and don't just follow others....

    It was our idea to just plop a house down somewhere, too. But we did go ahead and buy land, which makes a difference. Not having to jump through building code hoops is well worth it. We were more interested in the mountains than the beach, which may make a difference in how unrestricted we are. It's more remote here. But we have the Atirro River a stone's throw away, with great swimming holes and swinging bridges and waterfalls... so far my list of things I wish I'd known before I came here is limited to pretty much one thing: that I should have come here sooner. Mine and Michel's experience has matched our expectations. It's just a good place to be. You nailed it about the freedom. I had no idea, either, how much freedom had already been taken from me in the States. It would be very, very hard for me to go back now, after tasting this life.

      @@Chenzaloon we have one. I don't have much of a following yet, but I figure if I just keep posting content folks will catch on eventually. Right now I've shared stuff about the bus and all the animals, and the rainforest preserve. My most-viewed video, though, was when I put Morocco on blast for the way folks treated us while we were locked in the country during the pandemic. They didn't like at all what I had to say... and show... about them. LOLOL Eventually, though, I'll be posting about our off-grid transition on the land and about the gardens and mini-farm. You are always welcome for a visit. Big rainforest preserve up here, too. That's where we're staying until we get the roadwork done up to the land for the bus to pass. The rainforest preserve is going in a tourism direction, too, and I think it's a great idea. They cater mostly to Costa Ricans, and if we are able to draw in some guests from outside the country, it will be a perfect symbiosis.

    Just discovered you and your channel! LOVE IT! Your TIPS are clear, no bullshit, and Style of driving thru the surrounding countryside is wonderful. I have learned more from your short video than any of the other more talky pro videos on Costa Rica. ONE QUESTION, as you did ask people to post their questions about LIFE in COSTA RICA - (I am exploring moving there and most likely to live a similar lifestyle to the one you have) -- TELL ME ABOUT the MUSIC. Is there any kind of Music Scene of any genre? I am a jazz singer. Been told there is no such thing there ... but I still hold out to finding a few peeps to make the jazz music with ... just for fun. What about World Music? Or any other ACUSTIC music?

      I spent two years in Costa Rica and in general, it's not a consumer culture like the USA or even Mexico. Import taxes are high. You might find Chinese stores with cheap stuff but a limited selection. Even cheap crap you might find in the USA is not cheap in CR. You'd be surprised what you can live without or buy second hand like Ticos.

    I am 78 and really like your style and they way you come off as a layed back kind of guy. I have thought a lot about being a pensioner there, but at my age waiting 2 years for a residence might be to long. But then again why worry about that, right.

    I’m a tico myself, and southern Costa Rica is super nice, there aren’t many tourist because it is so hard to get to. But it is so worth it, you feel like you have a private beach for yourself.
    You can get there quicker with a domestic flight.

    Love this channel! New sub!
    Questions:
    - Where are you in this vid? East or west coast?
    - Easier to rent a scooter or buy?
    - About that beach house- can you get decent cell service there? If so, can you use your phone as a hotspot or are you close enough to town? Reason I ask is because that house is my dream house too. Like you, all I ever wanted was a little simple house right by the beach. Thought it was impossible. Damn, you found it. 👍

      Yes, it is just for residents and while it passed already, it is still awaiting posting in LA GACETA the official newspaper where it gets printed and then is officially the law. Expect that will happen by year end. Also the same with new DIGITAL NOMAD law, it passed and is awaiting posting in LA GACETA.
