      Our property in Ecuador is almost ready for you to park at if you are coming after May 22nd as I will be on vacation in Canada from April 16th until that date. There are many free things to do in our area from nature walks, night walks which include the insects that glow in the dark, waterfalls, rivers, the unknown Santuario Católico de la Pasión de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo - El Calvario which has a path of mini churches and more.

    If anyone is considering Cost Roca, I urge you to come and research things before moving or even visiting. It is extremely expensive to the point that’s irritating. Especially the costal areas. Restaurants are more expensive than California. Same with groceries. Housing too especially near the beach. The worst part is drug related crimes are also increasing.

      Stable Democracy: Costa Rica has a long history of political stability and peaceful democracy.
      Pura Vida Lifestyle: The “pure life” philosophy encourages a laid-back, stress-free approach to life.
      Cost of Living: Generally lower than in the U.S., especially outside of the main tourist areas.
      Healthcare: High-quality healthcare services are available at a lower cost than in many developed countries.
      Real Estate: There’s a variety of real estate options available, from beachfront properties to mountain retreats.
      Safety: Costa Rica is often cited as one of the safest countries in Central America .
      🤫 SHUSH. Not all t-shirts are 75$ like in the giftshop . Also fun fact for under 50,000$ you could buy property and build on it. Don't speak nonsense

    • @NaickKim
      @NaickKim  2 місяці тому +1

      It's best to ask the locals and follow their guidance. Some rivers have big populations of crocs. Usually you can find lots of locals at the rivers, swimming, etc. so then you know its safe.

      In 10 days you could probably cover pretty much all of them, two weeks would give you a bit more leeway in terms of weather and relaxing. If you've got one week, I would stay on the pacific side and not go to the Caribbean side.

    You should update the channel description and cover. "Driving our campervan from Alaska to Argentina by the end of 2023!" is clearly not true anymore and "Publishing a video every week" has not been true either, more like every 2 weeks or every month.

    Another video in the overrated Costa Rica. 2 videos only in El Salvador (which has so much to offer if you don't stay there only one - two weeks and if you bother to research about what it has to offer beyond Wikipedia), Nicaragua etc. but 5 videos in Costa Rica, typical for UA-camrs that only focus on overhyped countries. A pity to see this channel going the same predictable direction.
