Where to Live in Costa Rica? | Move to Costa Rica 

WE LIVED IN CR FOR 5 YEARS during the early 2000's. Were able to purchase a home for $36,000 and do some improvements for another $15,000. The location was on the top of a mountain ridge, just north of San Ramon de Alajuela. Unfortunately, the weather in that area changed over the years, with long periods of wet fog - forcing us to purchase dehumidifiers to remove the dampness from inside our home. BE CAREFUL that you do NOT choose an area in the "Zona de neblina" (fog zone) !

Hi Sarah, thanks for this video. It's very helpful. I enjoyed getting a glimpse into the different areas of CR. Hope to come to some of the beautiful places you covered soon.

Super helpful thank you for taking the time to create this.

This is great. Thank you Sarah. You are so good with explaining all of this.

I love this video . Very nice explained . 👏👏

Hi Sarah Elena. I'm writing this March 17, 2022. Things amaze me. I have been in an out of this video when time permeants. Today I've been printing regional maps on Pacific Coast especially around Dominical. No one seams to mention going to the central valley into San Isidro El General sing the neat mountain road right out of Dominical about a 45 min. drive and I just jump back in where I left off and you started talking about taking that ride. I love Dominical and enjoy all you are doing to help others see the beauty of this country. I'm thinking through staying for 2-3 months. Getting away from these Michigan winters.

Really helpful, keep the great job 👏🏼👙🇨🇷☀️🏖

Saludos y bendiciones. Muy completa la información y excelente idea la de utilizar un mapa, me parece que solamente faltó el comentario acerca de Sámara y Tortuguero.

You really know Costa Rica very well .i am going to be moving soon to San Isidro next year .

This is so awesome, mahalo nui

They say dogs/animals absorb our energy and pain. Hope your doggy is well by now❤️ looking to make the move to CR soon!

Awesome video 👍

Montoya here.. Viva Las Vegas!

I have a house between Playa Tambor and Montezuma on the Nicoya Peninsula. It is definitely hot in the dry season, but not as hot as the Tamarindo area. Lots of areas to quad and miles and miles of beaches on the Pacific side. Santa Theresa is a great area if you are a surfer. Great food and unique restaurants. Check out Burrito corner

Hello Mrs Sarah. I'm a Cuban American married to a Costa Rican woman. we live in New Orleans and I'm just looking for the possibility to move out to this country in the near future. I've been there three times and I love it. Thanks for sharing your story.

Sara is correct, you need to figure out what life style you want. We have chosen to build in the Fortuna, San Carlos area. Very remote and quiet.

Where is the best hospital on the pacific coast of CR? And I need to know about buying good health insurance in CR.

Greeting from San Jose i like your channel

Thank you

During my time in Costa Rica, I noticed that there were few if any stray dogs in rural areas. I'm guessing that the snake population reduces the dog population if the dogs run free.

Pura vidaaaaa 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷

nicola peninsula has a lot of wonderful beach towns

San Isidro is my home town 👌👌🥰🥰

I have a ( probably stupid ) question. When I watch videos about CR, it appears most of the time the sky is very cloudy. Is that really the case ? Have you got some clear blue sky most of the year, or not at all ? Thanks.

Hola saludos cordiales desde San Ramón de Alajuela costa Rica,el clima aquí para mi es genial,.🇨🇷

SUPER

What retreat does your friend own?

great video Sarah how is your dog doing?

Nice vid. regards

Hi Sarah...hope you are well....I am living near Playa Conchal if you need any info.

Ok... Again, what city is like spring year round?

I have a vacant lot in the La Tigra area at a higher elevation because of the cooler climate. I would like to sell or trade. The property is a little over one and a third acres with phenomenal views.

Thank you for sharing

Has anyone drunk Ayahuasca at Florestral retreat not far from Dominical?

I am moving there in cpl months

What is the COVID-19 situation in Costa Rica?

How do you bring your pets with you? Is it hard?

I've lived in Quepos, La Cruz, Guadalupe and now Chacarita (Puntarenas). If you have any questions about those places let me know

Do you have an input on Casa Rosa?

I am moving to Costa Rica to ( Liberia ) will you recommend to buy a car in Costa Rica or ship it from US ?

What about the best place for golf courses

You are so beautiful ...and Smart , too!. Love your videos ! Thanks

I'm really sorry to hear about your dog. Ferbendazole, the dog and goat dewormer, shrunk my dogs tumor. Hopefully you won't ever need it but its good to know. It works on humans too. Joe Tippen brought forth this knowledge. He was terminal and cured himself.

Hi sister how are you

Hola

UNION COMMENWAL COSTA RICA EUROPE

So I looked into temporary residency in Costa Rica and you have to have a guaranteed income of at least 1100 dollars a month in way of a pension or something like that. So any other way to live there if you just have money in the bank and 800.00 month?

Tenga cuidado ya no es igual han habido varios asesinatos yo soy tica t vivo en la playa por eso conozco pero con gusto bienvenida también viví en san José 25 años era muy bonito ya no

Nice but this is more like a guide to the west coast lol. Five minutes guide to the original‘Rich coast’

barking dogs crazy

I have lived in Costa Rica for 15 years near Cartago. All your really have to say is it it not at the coast and cooler in the central valley. That is what people want to know. Your video could be half the time of you didn't ramble so much.

Very rough and choppy presentation.

I'm sorry Sarah but you really need to work on you presentation.

I wonder how far the hospital is from the blue zone
