I’ve lived here from Canada for 24 years and you are spot on about everything! Especially about the critters that we live with. Empty plastic peanut butter jars are excellent for catching and releasing scorpions and spiders. And yes everything gets moldy and mildewed. Don’t even think about leather, rubber, or printed photos. Good video❤
I moved to CostaRica 18 months ago, but I don’t live at the beach. In fact I’m the only gringo in my town. I live at 7500 feet of elevation and can almost see both coastlines. The weather happens every 3 minutes. The rainy season, which is now, is very wet! Every week 3-5 days of 30-50 mph winds and gallons of rain. In Florida it would be considered tropical storm with no schools and businesses closed and boarded up. It’s normal here. The people and the food are the best part of my community and I’m glad to be here!
Award winning schools? I'm not saying I don't believe you, but that's the first I've heard that phrase. I'm aware of La Paz and CRIA as good international schools in the vicinity, but what awards are talking about exactly? Enjoyed the video. Thanks.
This video was so helpful! Did you have to get your health certificate translated to Spanish? I am in process of getting our 3 pets certified so we can move to Costa Rica.
@@bluuegirl4 just bought the plane tickets for now. we have 9 nights there so we are planning on renting a car a going places. I read that guanacaste is the driest region with an 80 chance of seeing the sun at any given day. So if its raining all over the place will just go there. it says that rain season shouldnt discourage you from going cause the worst time to go is september and october and definitely not august
Hi! This video is very helpful. What exactly is the health certificate? Also did you have to do this certificate: APHIS 7001 (Where you have to send it to Sacramento for stamping)? Getting somewhat confused about this, so any info would be helpful. Thanks!
I am going on a trip 6-15 of November, do you think it will be super rainy in the Manuel Antonio area? I’m really nervous it might be stormy the whole time and we won’t get to relax on the beach.

Could you tell me how to find a good online job before I move to Costa Rica? I plan on going but I know I cannot work in Costa Rica unless I have a work visa.
Thank you for the video but the 4th thing on the list that rhyme with Rug is going to keep me from going. It is nice you don't see to fear them, but I do. It is enough to cross costa rica off my list. I have never see anything you described in my home in my entire life.
I’m going to Tambor beach to check out a property and see if it’s what I want. This video helps a lot and will be making sure I’m aware of all these points will deciding if this is the area I want to be in. Thank you.
hi! i’m confused about your 5:53 comment - is La Fortuna/Arenal (sunny 80s) considered caribbean? Always figured that was pacific weather. It’s where I want to do my bday but nervous for early/mid Sept
Great question; the currency is the Honduran Lempira and there are a few ATM's for getting cash, though Sunday they sometimes run out, almost everywhere takes credit card as well. :)
I know I’m late but I wanted to go for my anniversary on august 14th. I’m just going to an all inclusive resort. Will there be a ton of rain by the resorts?
Why you don`t use a mosquito net? Doesn`t it help? I wonder that Computers will die sooner since they have Gold at the contacts and shouldn`t corrode, maybe the heat is the problem and the cooling system brings the heat not down enough.
Hi, yes, good point! You can use a mosquito net. A few might get in but it would help. For me, with my dogs, mosquito nets just end up holey messes in no time beacuse of accidental rips from paws and claws haha
@@SaltTravelCo I didn`t consider dogs 😀, at my home I have a stainless steel net at the window against mosquitos, regularly no mosquitos can enter the room.
I’ve lived here a long time. I once had a computer crash and took it to the local repair guy. When he opened it up there was an ant colony living in it. 😂😂😂 It’s the jungle...it’s moldy, and wet, and full of critters looking for a safe dry place to set up home 😂😂😂
Hi, I love your videos! We’re taking a trip to Barcelo Tambor, Costa Rica in a couple of weeks and we’re wondering where we can rent ATV’s or bikes? I’ve been doing research but can’t find any info. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you! :)
I believe the easiest and most affordable way would be to go to Montezuma and get one for a day or two there. I'm not sure if Barcelo rents ATV's and there used to be a place in Tambor that closed during 2020. Please let us now if you find a better option so we can share it with people also wondering. Happy travels!!!
Thank you very much for your Tips! We plan to make a roundtrip at Augst/ begining of September. What do you think about Malaria at this time? Would it be advisable to take Artimisin powder for this 3 weeks?
Oh that's a great time of year, you might see some showers but it's refreshing and things are nice and green. I don't think malaria is a problem in Costa RIca? I haven't ever heard of any cases personally.
Hi, love your videos. We are going to Costa Rica in early April for 8 days. We won't have a car so we are thinking staying 2 days in Tamarindo, 4 in La Fortuna, 1 in Monteverde, and the last night in Liberia to be close to the airport. Do you think 4 days in La Fortuna and one in Monteverde is ok? Thanks and pura vida.
Planning a trip there august 25-sept 2nd. Is late august/early September still what you refer as legit rainy season? We want to go to Fortuna but at this time of year will we be able to see Arenal? We don’t want downpours everyday :) thanks
