Thanks for the lovely video on your wonderful Costa Rica experience I lived in Costa Rica for 12 years, on the Caribbean side I learned Spanish there and I loved the cultural immersion My family is the only reason I moved back to the states five years ago These days I spend time in Montana and Hawaii with my kids and grandkids, but I truly miss Costa Rica And by the way, for the past year I’ve been working to heal myself NATURALLY of breast cancer I’ll go back to Costa Rica as soon as I’m able

It's amazing if a black person can find comfort living in Costa Rica unless they live in Limon

Comment from : @Vilouuuu5049

Thanks to these videos, the cost of living in CR has skyrocketed, all thanks to these people moving and paying whatever crazy sum because is "cheaper than the US" anywaybrbrNow unlike the people in the video, come and b**ch about how expensive CR isbrNow is not so cheap, huh? I wonder why?brbrHow to avoid this?brI don't know, haggle!brbrback in 2022 $650 for a 3BR home was a normal decent price brPretty sure they looked hard until they found a good deal

Costa Rica has had no military since 1948, and their quality of life, longevity, mixed with connection with animals, natures, etc, makes me want to go there Thanks for the video

Comment from : @HomeDream1

I live in Houston I would love to move to Europe or Costa Rica It’s just so stressful in the states The political climate is very volatile right now
Comment from : @getreal4real169

I've heard and read that people who moved to many places overseas, their blood pressure went down I know when I visit the Virgin Islands, the fresh air in the country I felt immediately, and the fresh fruit from the roadside stands had a clean natural taste that I had not tasted since I wasbra young man

These Make It series really show just how much better it is to live in many other countries compared to the USif you have some money The US is really only good for making money, so besides job prospects, not much upside
Comment from : @slevineleven007

I went in December 2024, and I found the country to be highly overrated Customer service and the cultural level are very low, most roads are in poor condition, and the capital city is very dirty, dangerous, and full of homeless people Prices are very high, and the overall quality of the destination is very low I wouldn’t go back

Comment from : @khadijahramadhan8185

This popped up in my feed and I’m so happy it did! Glad to see people living happier, less stressed lives externally from the US! I’m literally planning a relocation end of year, which is forcing me to release people, places, & things that aren’t for my highest good An entire life detox is in order I wasn’t confident to do this before, but now, I’m super motivated 2025 is the year of completion and I embrace it I❤this story and many others who’ve left this country Thank you

Comment from : @BiffTannen-d5b

Thanks for sharing your life experience As a Costa Rican, I feel very proud to read so many positive comments about my country Thanks a lot to all who visit us and to those who have decided to live here This beautiful family knows what "pura vida" means It is more than just a saying, it is our way of life
Comment from : @OlgaFrancis

I pray I can convince my partner for us to move here! I've heard nothing but amazing things about Costa Rica and its beautiful people While it's affordable and seems like paradise, what matters most is the human connection Living in the US has been challenging my entire life I do love it here, and I'm thankful and proud to be American But the world is so much bigger—it's time to gobrbrI hope those who move to Costa Rica will respect their country and culture While some locals might be hesitant about expats moving in, I believe we can find common ground
Comment from : @briannasharee_

Comment from : @twinkd7012

Thank you for this heartfelt, inspirational and informative video I visited Costa Rica 8 years ago and as an avid world traveler, I can attest that this place is one of a kind We have been bamboozled by the notion of customer service per US standards but Costa Rica’s cannot be rivaled As a healthcare provider, I remind patients on a daily basis that healing cannot come from medication alone There are no magic pills So happy you realized the benefits of Naturopathic interventions, including stress reduction that proved stronger than the C word
Comment from : @positivechi4121

I'm just seeing your video and i appreciate your insight because it's going to get real here in the states in 2025 if you know what i mean Costa Rica seems like the place to be for me Thank you so much
Comment from : @ArtieGUZMAN-k7k

Okay I need to connect with them because I’m not finding any housing in Nicoya that’s less than $1300/mo I’m truly looking at all the options for my family life
