I made a decision in 2020 to break from the U.S. and settle in Central America. I chose Costa Rica because of its microclimates, environmental awareness, developing infrastructure, as well as its political stability and good healthcare system. It seemed like a good place to re-imagine life away from urban chaos and the stress of nine-to-five demands.
comming from the video in azzemour omg that was funny and sade at same time im going to explain the first guy is respiring an drogue called silicion when they start fighting there are not fighting but calmming the guy who is under the effect of drog Linking him with rope and people from the hood comming to see what happening but one guys trow rocks on them to go back to their homes ,i think i want to mention that all girls in this hood are insulting you bcs you'r recording them wich is not an wize choise from you but okey that it a bad exeperience in morocco for you i wich the best for you and have a good day from an moroccan guy LOL
About that video in azzmour beyond everything that happened u had no right to film them they are just people living their lives no matter what they are doing its no one’s business and as a moroccan honestly ive never seen anything like that video in my whole life here u are just probably so cheap that u picked some appartement at that area because ofc it gon be cheap due to that area and ur so ignorant ive seen alot of things bad things worse than this happening in america i never chose to judge it based on just one video that i saw ur bad choices that got u into that and u chose to try and ruin the image of morocco but just for u to know morocco is known for its good reputation and food and hospitality and nothing will ur 100 or idk followers will change that and the problem is the area is bad ik but m sure if u were just nice with those people and not try to expose them they wouldve been so nice to u and hospital with everything they could do ur just being a bad person and a karen
Well if you are looking for troubles. Troubles will find you no matter where you go. Video taping people without their permission what do you expect? You are from USA so can you do this in terror town Chicago? I bet you know you can't. They will shoot you in one sec. Take this as a lesson know your limits. Show respect to be respected. l@rhondak_ManorMiravalles
You have no right to film people when they refuse to be filmed on the vlog of morocco you are a rude person who came to other people country without respecting them, if it about drug just go to a street in new york or Chicago and u will see the real world of people laying in the street who use all kind of drugs and guns !!! At least our country they dont use guns, behave yourself old lady!
We didn't forget that video in which you tried to sabotage the image of Morocco, you have luck, Moroccan women did not hit you, but do whatever you want, Morocco, the number one in the world, and such neighborhoods are anywhere, not only Morocco, your goal did not reach you my dear, but again we will show you another face🇲🇦.
Girl what are you talking about, she just share her experience and showed the real image of some cities in Morocco like azemmour..,you already know that we have big issues here , most of people don’t respect rules and other people’s privacy, not only for human,animals too, don’t try to be blind
@@silaaayouri I know there are problems, but they have no right to do that, try to do this in their country you will throw yourself into a big problem, her goal is to destroy the image of the country only. Th’ank u
So you didn’t even had a proper bathroom nor a full sized refrigerator and you came to worst city in Morocco (Azemour) which even moroccans can’t go to live there cause of it’s uneducated and unemployed people just like you can’t live in detroit or the bronx and you have the audacity to insult all the Morocco and tell on your videos that you literally challenging the authorities to put videos and have no apology because of what you have experienced. You need to know that if you come to morocco and you are already broke baby doll just stay in your country and don’t come to third world countries like morocco cause you will experience much worse than what you had experienced if you want to enjoy it you need to have in your pocket and go to splendid cities and resorts and hotels and airbnbs even with small budget you can just do reasearch and go to small tourist cities in the south or the north but you went to el jadida and azemour that have no tourist ideology cause simply are only small cities with small community that even me as Casablancais won’t go there
You’re probably unaware that your videos about your visit to Morocco have gone viral, unfortunately you disabled commenting on those videos, apparently you’ve had a terrible experience in that place, which is horrible but doesn’t justify how you disrespected that old woman and her daughter, as a woman or however u identify who was raised in a country with basic “human rights” which u probably claim we don’t have you should be educated enough about how u must respect old people and other people’s cultures, you would never see someone disrespect an elderly woman for such silly behaviour in our country, so the daughter’s reaction is normal we don’t fight over such things, it’s not that big of a deal. ur horrible experience doesn’t represent the entire moroccan territory, no one visits small towns that aren’t even known for tourism, and it’s clearly unsafe based on the footage you’ve shared, even I as a moroccan would never visit that place for my own safety, and if u ask a moroccan no one would suggest you go there
@newstea7566 i’m actually quite aware that the videos have gone viral in Morocco and I find that hilarious. But I would like to correct some misunderstandings that you seem to have. First of all, we were not there as tourists. We had actually stayed in a nearby city and were in Azemmour volunteering with an animal welfare organization. That’s where we were the night the military and police herded everyone into the Medina at gunpoint. We were trapped there for a year during the pandemic. The US Embassy had arranged evacuation flights but we were not able to take any of them. Secondly, nobody knows how I actually spoke to that old woman because it is not on video. I was not recording when she released the shopping cart to slam into the side of our rented van, or when I tried to politely explain that the buggy return racks are there for a reason. Or when I tried to put the buggy in a nearby return and she snatched it out of my hands and shoved it into another vehicle. That’s when I got my phone activated to record the younger woman screaming and acting like a complete idiot. And that is exactly how most of the world perceives her. Only Moroccans see it backwards, or so it seems. People from that culture seem to love to play the victim and blame the world for their own shortcomings. It’s pathetic, and it’s heartbreaking for the children, but it has nothing to do with me because I am long gone from there and I will never, ever return.
@@rhondak_ManorMiravalles it’s totally understandable and i wasn’t present to judge the situation im just commenting based on what I’ve heard from the young woman on the video you’ve shared. Other than that I am definitely not gonna defend violence or abuse, I’m sorry your experience was horrible
This video showed my family how to cross. You helped us out alot. Im going to subscribe and so is my wife and get you to 500 subscribers :) Once again thanks for the video
Thank you so much! I have neglected this channel recently because I’ve been so busy on the farm. Gotta get back to it soon. How are you guys enjoying Costa Rica? Are you living here now or is this just a long-term visit? :-)
@@rhondak_ManorMiravalles Yw, I am actually flying from Boston to Nicaragua (Aug/Sept) for a month long staycation and while we are in Nicaragua we plan to cross over to Costa Rica for a few days. This will be our 1st time out the U.S.A so videos like this helps a lot.
@@TruthSeekingAlways Oh my! First time out of the US and you go to Nicaragua! No one can say that you don’t have nerves of steel. L O L I can see Lake Nicaragua from the road that my farm is on, but as far as actually going there, the border control station is as far as I have dared. There is no doubt that I am biased, but I suspect you may like Costa Rica a bit better than Nicaragua. ;-)
@@rhondak_ManorMiravalles from what I have seen and read it seems relatively safe from violent crimes and gun violence (maybe I've been lied to) We are renting airbnbs and what I like about that is 1 I get to live like a local but 2 I get to read the reviews from other travels ECT and so far the places where we are staying have great reviews (I pray it stays that way) From what I've been told Nicaragua is the cheapest Costa Rica. But once again I was told that from a channel that is based out of Nicaragua. I'm coming down with my wife 2 small kids and my adult brother
@@TruthSeekingAlways You don’t hear about crimes against tourists in Nicaragua at the same rate that you hear about crimes against tourists in certain parts of Mexico. But the government of Nicaragua is just a bunch of thugs. I personally would not live in Nicaragua, even though it is much cheaper than Costa Rica. Costa Rica is one of the most expensive places to live in central America. But as homesteaders, Michel and I don’t spend nearly as much money to live here as most expats. It’s all about the lifestyle you choose here. There are people in Tamarindo who spend more per month to live there then I spend in six months to live here where I am.
Vous êtes qui pour filmer les femme au matoc je vais porter plein contre vous chez la police pour les insulte que vous insu les gens et gilmer leur vie prive vous aller voir vous taite quoi au payer si vous aimer pas allez vous faire foutre chez vou
Please never set foot again in Morocco. I highly doubt you would dare take your condescending attitude to a poor Detroit neighborhood and shove your camera in people's faces, let alone call them names and insult them like you insulted the poor girl defending her mother. You're exactly what's wrong with the world, Karen.

Hi Karen how are you? If Moroccans treated you that way, it's due to multiple reasons. 1- why the F are you speaking English in a non English speaking country? Who do you think you are? No and the audacity of you having a fight in English against someone who has no clue what you saying 😂 2- Moroccans are generally known for hospitality, they even have a complex of inferiority where they treat Whites much better than anyone including their own people. So if they treated you like crap that tells me a lot about your personality 😂. 3- Be humble when you visit a foreign country, either speak their language or pay for a guide? Or better, don't visit other countries. 4- Morocco might be a developing country, but you guys are the real 3rd world, when your toddlers need a bulletproof backpack to go to kindergarten 😂, at least Morocco doesn't have this type of issue. Fix your own broken country then start preaching to others. Peace 🕊️.
karen . befor going to any country you must at least know the laws and the culture . in here filming peoples faces is against the law and its rude to do without permistion , and i was sad to see some of the girls insulted you but still it was your fault and you calling morocco a third word country as an insult is just too much karen . you cant just go to the worst bad nighberhoods and and say this is morocco . i can give you many examples of usa places that have way way worst people and highist crime right in the world but i would never say yes this is what is like in usa . you are old enought to be mature and not act like a brat and i hope you apologise for your act because people like you should be banned from tourism in all countries . im talking about the moroccan video you made 3 years ago . and yes iknow my english isnt great so dont be the grammar police . take care
Strangely, your comment is the most sensible I've read so far. One thing you should probably note is that most of those videos were made for the benefit of the police in Azemmour to back up our claims. They had and probably still have possession of those videos. My decision to publish them on RU-vid was a separate matter. Also worth noting: I've traveled to ten countries on three continents and have never had anything even close to the issues I had in Morocco. I'm now living comfortably and happily among locals in Central America, which tells me the problem was Morocco and its broken people, not me.
@@rhondak_ManorMiravalles well . i said what i said and if thats what you think about us so be it . i hope you stay happy among your locals forever and live a good long life . and btw if you ever think to revisit morocco someday (i know u ll not) i can help you see the beautiful side even that im not a guide ect . take care bye
It's so sad that you are in a " first world country " and you don't know what " third world country " means and you use this term as an insult 😂 !!!! You should be more educated as an old women
Am I? Am I in a first world country? Have you been paying attention to the videos you're commenting on? Or maybe you think the country I'm in is an island....
In the video about Azemmour, people were asking her not to film them and she doesn't have the right to film civilians without their consent in Morocco. When she refused to stop filming they throwed dirt at her. Then the guy who did that was punished even though she could be sued for recording people without their consent. She was lucky because those people didn’t speak English well and didn't know their rights. She got benefit from that. In that original video she kept filming drunk people and a fight. She was complaining about drunk people in the street, as if she's not familiar with that in the US. A typical KAREN attitude. Every country has a place like that. She wanted to sell her own narrative by closing the comments section. Playing the victim doesn’t look good on you. Keep this attitude with people who know their rights and meet us with a new video from the jail, karen.
You people are hilarious. I've watched someone try to post this comment two or three times and YT keeps deleting it, because y'all don't know how to behave in the real world. Living in your bubble is what keeps you from understanding that the people who were throwing dirt on me were not doing so because of filming. They were doing so because they had mobbed us in the street for walking our dogs. Literally mobbed us, twisted my arm, tried to physically harm us until the police showed up. The police saw the videos and that is what helped place the most violent offender in jail. And what a silly comment: "those people didn't speak English and didn't know their rights." Hello? Why would they need to speak English? They were in Azemmour, Morrocco, behaving like a pack of rabid animals toward two people who were walking their dogs on a public street. Our dogs supposedly pooped in the street "ten times"... what about the dozens of street dogs roaming the area? No way it could possibly have been one of them, particularly the one visible in the video? Inferior levels of intelligence. That's the issue. People whose minds are broken. I won the court case. In front of a MOROCCAN JUDGE in El Jadida. What does that tell you? Was he racist against his own people? Or did he simply discern the truth of the matter that all of you armchair commenters can't seem to grasp.
@@BrowsingBrowser008 not avoiding it. I just don't care. Jail? Seriously? That's hilarious, the idea that you're going to chase me halfway around the world to a Central American jungle and extradite me back to Africa because of a video. Dream on. I mean, you lack even the basic understanding of what the video is about and why those segments were filmed, so good luck figuring out how to get a visa to come track me. Most countries (and this is one of them) don't honor your passport because they prefer to welcome only civilized tourists and people who know how to behave in society. I documented one of the worst experiences of my life (being trapped in Morocco during the pandemic.) I am now living in paradise, have a great life and love the people around me. I'm the same person, doing the same things, abidng by the same values. And life is beautiful here. That tells me the problem was Morocco and its backward people, not me. So there is nothing you can say to me that will make me give a hoot about any threats you make because you don't like that I exposed your rotten culture for what it is.
@@rhondak_ManorMiravalles It's too late, you could run away without being sued, don't have nightmares about me chasing you. Nobody got time for that. You talk like an anti.simite RAClST. Developed? Civilized? Show me that in your behavior. Go read history honey. A country of colonizers taking out the world and dividing it won't come now teach us about being civilized. Your culture is full of violence and force. Ours is filled with figures of dignity and integrity. You wouldn't know that cuz you can't relate. If you don't like Morocco because you visited a poor town and terrorized people with your uncivilized behavior, then don't come back. You are not welcome. Moroccans are known of their hospitality esp with foreigners, if you couldn't sense this then you must be a very bad guest. It's true you'll be better off in the jungle you are in right now. That's where you belong. Next time ask about consent before filming people and don't blame them for acting out afterwards. Understood? Any other lessons needed just lemme know.
Hi Rhonda, Sorry for what happened to you in Morocco. You seem to mix the rights you have in your country and those you don't have in our country, plus tourists don't go to (little town as you named it). I worked in the tourism industry for more than a decade, it saddens me that see that, but yeah I still think it was your fault in the first place. I wish you all the best <3
Which video are you referring to? Marjane Girl? If so, your comment doesn't make sense. Rights? What rights? It wasn't a matter of rights. It was a matter of common human courtesy--decent human beings don't ram a shopping cart into someone else's vehicle. Just because I didn't catch that part on video doesn't mean I didn't address it in the description. The miserable old woman in question deliberately pushed her empty shopping cart into our rented van. I saw her do it. It's not a matter of "rights" if I tell her what I think of her low-class action. There is no law even in Morocco stating that one female cannot hold another female accountable for inappropriate behavior. The daughter came at me with foul language--extremely foul language--making all of Morocco and your animal-slaughtering religion look hypocritical and bad. I say this because her mother, the old woman, was dressed in traditional garb. It's all a joke, the prayers mooing from the loudspeakers several times a day, the mindless following of rituals that do not lead to more evolved and holy behaviors. I did not spout a steady stream of profanity at the girl. She spouted it at me because I corrected her mother for doing something entirely inappropriate and anti-social. This is what I meant when I said Morocco will always be a third world country. When people behave like wild animals, they can't expect to be respected like intelligent human beings. That has nothing to do with rights, and I will not lend an ear to the victim-blaming I saw so often in your culture when it was not me who shoved a shopping cart into someone else's vehicle. The batty old woman shoved it into mine.
Skot ya Mdloul... 3atay.... khamass dial lkhla @Rhonda "karen": you say Third world to the girl in marjane in his country and continent... you are coming for tourism no for civilizing mission. Imagine if you say that in Mexico !!!!
@@kilopiam there's no need to say that in Mexico. Those people are civilized. So are the people here in Costa Rica. In Morocco, the society is like a pen full of caged animals. At least the parts of it that I saw. Behaving like degenerates in the street with no shame and no fear of being seen. I don't think you grasp how completely feral your culture has become, and it's nothing to be proud of.
What are you even talking about? This is hilarious. I AM NOT IN MOROCCO. There is nothing any of you can do to me except whine and cry and complain because the whole world sees how ignorant some of you are... posting about a Morocco issue on a video about a dog injured in Costa Rica is not a good look for you. At all. The sad part is that the entire planet will judge you for that, but those of you over there living in your own little bubble have zero comprehension of reality. Did you even realize that the more comments you make on my posts, and the more you interact with them, even in a negative way, improves my standing in RU-vid algorithms and helps boost my channel? So please--keep it coming, because you're only making yourselves look stupid, but you're actually helping me work toward monetizing this channel.
You are an entitled old nasty lady filming people without their consent and denigrating them. Legal actions will be taken in your embassy. Good luck paying damages.
@@MayaMaya-dl1hp trending on a Moroccan feed? That is awesome!!! Good news for me. And good luck with your "case." I am not in Morocco and will never be again, so have fun trying to "extradite" me back for showing the world what morons so many of you actually are. ;-)
@@rhondak_ManorMiravalles Oh no, please come, how could we live without you 🥹 You sound a little mentally challenged, a case will be made in your embassy, we’re coming after you wherever you are, in case you didn’t know international cases are a thing. And for the record, our third world country is still better than the first world country you escaped to live off charity of third world countries people touring in dirty vans with your soya face bf with the animals like homeless people.
@@rhondak_ManorMiravalles Perhaps you shouldn't lock the comments on that video so people don't flood to your other videos to say what they have to say. maybe instead of lessons in geography you need "opening up to criticism 101" lessons.
@@at_oussama no, by all means, flood to all my videos. The interaction helps me in RU-vid's algorithms. Negative or positive, doesn't matter. Interactions of any type will help me get the channel monetized.
If only you could treat human beings when you visit foreign countries the same way you treat those lizards and birds, humanity would feel much much better. Bless you, hope you changed since the last time you disrespected elderly.
GREAT JOB! LOVE LOVE LOVE the details!! FYI - when you paid the Exit Tax you had to give your passport number so it went into your Interpol system (the system CR & Nicaragua use). The $1 is a Municipal Tax - separate from the Migracion Fees so you must pay it (IN US$1s just as you enter the building on both sides)
Hello, I'm one of the people that subbed to you when my friend Corky (Historic Metals) purchased a bus from you and moved to Costa Rica. It's been a while since I've heard from him. SOOOOO......... I was wondering if you chopped him up and used him as dog food? Dont get me wrong. I'm not saying it would be a bad thing. After all, Mamma needs nutrition and puppies need to eat. But I was just checking in. Please dont use my friend Corky as puppy food. 😢 🤣😅😅🤣 Also, if I didnt have a 12 year old and a 13 year old dog, I would absolutely be willing to pay for shipping to give one of your beautiful puppies a good home. When my 12 year old dog was just 4 months old, I found him in an add for free on craigslist. My free dog cost over a $1200 within the first month. Had to get him up to date on shots, chipped, neutered, a bed, toys and a "correction collar". It had three modes to it. Beep, vibrate and shock. The first thing I did with the collar was put it on my arm, set the shock to the lowest setting and gradually bring it up until I decided it was strong enough but not overboard. Only had to shock twice the entire time he whore that collar. He ran off once while my back was turned the second time, he tried to run after an elderly jogger passing by. Other then that, the beep and vibrate did a great job of helping me train him properly. Anyways, I think you and your husband are beautiful people and I'm glad the dogs in your care. The world needs more people like you🍄🙏✌❤
Haaaahahahaha! That's awesome! I'm so glad you commented. Thank you for the kind words. :-) I'm happy to report that SirCork is alive and well, livin the pura vida up here on the mountain. He bought his lot, got water supply to it, did a lot of work on his Trooper, and now he's off with a friend in a cloud of smoke. LOLOL I will tell him to reach out to you!
I didn’t leave that part out at all. I even showed the negative PCR test that they were requiring at the time. However, they no longer require it and they do not require masks. I just got back from another border run a couple of weeks ago and there is no Covid factor to it at all anymore. At least for now.
@@rhondak_ManorMiravalles thank you very much. I am grateful, now If I can get through the airport without a hassle, I will fly straight in, Ometepe is my destination
Hi, now I feel more confident of doing the crossing and back, thank you! My trip is only for two weeks however, so I will still be within my original 90 days going out of CR to Ometepe and back. Will this matter in any way regarding the stamps? Also, do you know if that ATM machine is dispensing cordobas? I’ll need to find a place for this after crossing.
Hi, Alain. The exit stamp you get on your way to Ometepe will cancel your current Costa Rica tourist visa. But at your return, the stamp back into the country should reset it for at least another 90 days. Just show the CR border agent your plane ticket or evidence of onward travel, and your passport will most likely get stamped according to that. About the ATM machine... I have no idea if it dispenses cordobas. You won't use them at the actual border, so an ATM further inside Nicaragua is probably your best bet. I just did this crossing again on Saturday and it was as easy as ever. Happy travels!
Thank you so much for those kind words! Fenix continues to do great--she is very playful now and really enjoys playing with the litter of rescued puppies we have here. Such a gentle soul--I can't imagine why anyone would feel it was necessary to use such a weapon on her.
It does not seem logical that on the basis alone of "adoption contracts not being enforceable" that you would seek to rehome these puppies outside of Costa Rica. All of the other content here on this channel suggests that Costa Rica is an ideal place to live. What exactly is not enforceable in an adoption contract for an animal in Costa Rica that makes exporting these puppies to other countries a better option than creating better living conditions for them where they were born and still reside?
How much time do you really have for me to give examples? Because we could be here all day. How do you propose to know anything about the conditions for animals to be adopted into in Costa Rica all the way from New Hampshire? Costa Rica is a lovely place for many humans and for sloths, who are protected. But ask Fénix, our dog whose head was nearly chopped off by a machete a few weeks ago, if she thinks living here is completely ideal. I’ll have a video about her soon, as well as what the community is doing to “make things better.” But this is Central America. Hello? It is a slippery slope to imagine the complexities of a situation or a culture you have no experience with. So fair warning.
@@rhondak_ManorMiravalles the question pertained to the unenforceability of animal adoption contracts as being the reason you clearly stated in the video about why you could not rehome them in Costa Rica. Could you elaborate on the contracts, laws, precedents in that area, please?
@@Fosterdogsummit You seem to think that I owe you an explanation or a crash course in what I’m doing down here. I do not. If you want to know more, continue following the channel. I’m posting copious amounts of information about this on social media. But I will not waste my time justifying my actions to you or anyone else in book form. That would be a colossal waste of time and resources when my energy is better spent actually doing the work. Follow the channel and social media like everyone else does. And then you will know.
@@rhondak_ManorMiravalles isn't commenting here and asking a clarifying question with respect to your experience in how adoption contracts for animals are not enforceable in Costa Rica following the channel? Perhaps a link to an animal adoption contract that other rescues or shelters in Costa Rica use and discussion of how such a contract has been unenforceable or otherwise problematic would be a step towards gaining better understanding for your followers and financial contributors who may be interested in supporting your efforts which once based in Appalachia in the United States are now seemingly taking root in Costa Rica.
@@FosterdogsummitBut you see, that’s not what we’re doing here. And all of the people who are keeping up with this on social media and with me personally know that. This dog and these puppies were a special case for reasons that I’m not getting into here on RU-vid. When the time comes that we stand up another nonprofit for animal welfare, it will not be for a rescue in any sense that you are familiar with. It will be thoroughly documented and extremely transparent and all of the information will be made available to each and every person to whom it actually matters. I refuse to be put on the defensive and rocked back on my heels over a video on a channel that is not even about animal rescue. It’s about homesteading and our experiences here in Costa Rica. And the focus will not magically undergo a metamorphosis simply because one person wanted to show up in the comments acting like the puppy police. We have this under control. That’s all you need to know for right now. If you want to follow things as they develop and progress, like I said follow the channel.There will probably be a secondary channel anyway, and it will not be one that I administrate. Why? Because I’m not driving the boat here. I’m making myself useful to the people who need me here. And I refuse to get tangled up in this kind of debate when it’s clear that you don’t have an understanding of what is going on in this situation anyway.
Hola! We've been meeting a lot of people from Canada lately! Thank you so much for the sub! We'll try to have some new stuff out soon. Been really busy--but there's a lot to talk about!
Thank you! I certainly recommend this kind of life. We've been on the farm a year now and love it more than ever. It's the best life. It really is. We paid about 40K USD for this place. :-)
