maybe is a good idea for me to start a podcast for a costa rican moving into the States
Now your doing the right podcast, looks professional, mentioned this to you a year ago. Keep these videos coming, we need the tips and truth about costa.
Have been in Jaco around 10 times and was there last week. Never had a problem and I love it. I walk streets at night..8-11 basically and nothing, however the hooker girls are there, even in the day time..I dont care. My wife doesnt like Jaco as much as I do. She is Colombiana and I get along just fine without Spanish. So many options up and down the coast too!! Thanks for the video.
Another fun talk. Glad I got to see Jaco in 2010. So much different now and the beach is awesome.
This awesome! Thanks for the information ❤ I'm a traveler and Costa Rica is next on my list! This is helpful
🤢
Thank you for posting.
This is so exciting! I visited Costa Rica a few years ago & I felled in love with the country & the beautiful people of Costa Rica, so much so that I’m planning on retiring there within 2 years or less! I’ve been doing quite a bit of research & I know that I definitely have to go back to see which place will suit me & my lifestyle best . I’m a diver so naturally I love the beach & the ocean however, I would also love to be integrated into the Tico way of life & most importantly to be of service & contribute the community. I can’t wait to start listening to your podcast! Tyvm!😊
Love this house but way too out of reach price wise for most.
Wow, it turned out really nice, Congrats!
I always look forward to the next podcast. Keep up the great work guys.
With the current US administration flooding the market with money, it caused a huge increase in inflation and obviously devalued the US dollar, plain and simple. If the US government was to stop handing out money and tighten their belt, there would be less US money circulating in other countries and you would see an increase in it's value.
Congratulations! Lovely house and so close to the beach!
Congratulations! Lovely house and so close to the beach!
Thank you! Important topic and your perspectives are helpful! Namaste. 🙏
#trump24 and I would move to Costa Rica 😅
I guarantee that if Trump wins the dollar will go up by twenty percent.
I'm curious to know where you are seeing an exchange rate of $1 to 502 C? I see today a rate of about 530C on wise, XE, and other sites. The 1 year range was 544 in August and 500 in April. This podcast is dated Aug 13.
@@user-wn3of8hy6n that is the wise exchange rate. Different than the Costa Rica national bank rate of the day. Go to an official bank website to see the actual rate of the day. And remember it fluctuates. So whatever we said in the podcast was from over a month ago. So it’s changed since then.
BCR today (8/13/24) Buy = 517, Sell = 531. It's right in line with her info.
Joe Biden and Liberals are what happened. #trump2024
America isn't the only viewer base for this platform. Ignorance isn't bliss for your country 🙈🤡
@@teriyakiwilson7072Idiot!
@@teriyakiwilson7072Trump 2024 buddy 😊
What type of wood is that table made from? Great jobGuys!
1 Canadian dollar is 385 colones. It's becoming unmanageable for us to go to CR
its more unmanageable to stay. Still cheaper to eat and live here
Sadly, the USD will hyper inflate. The exchange rates won’t be favorable to Americans holding USD in the next 10 years.
Good Morning 🦋
I was making a seafood chowder, just broth 1L was over $10 back home the most i paid was $2.50..I almost died..
This content is so useful for expats! Watching from Costa Rica and loving the advice.
As someone from Costa Rica, it’s great to see content that makes expat life easier.
Who is the man ?
Thank you for speaking about this! Agreed with other commenters saying that Costa Rica may be expensive, but compared to most places in the US -- especially for produce-- the quality to price ratio is FAR Better. I am also very biased because I live in one of the most expensive places: New York City. We are coming down to try living in Costa Rica (in the Playa Hermosa area!!) at the end of August!
Very helpful information, thank you! Question: do you have a cooler in your vehicle to keep your groceries cold when you return to your home? Hope you get a t-shirt like Jairo's Sarah Elena! Namaste. 🙏
I have a question. Are there long term car rentals available? Or is there a secure place to leave a vehicle if you purchase one? Due to grandchildren’s birthdays here in the states we will only be in Costa Rica for maybe six-nine months out of the year. Trying to figure the whole needing a car thing out.
Automercado is the equivalent (in California) of Gelsons, Whole Foods and Pavilions wrapped up in one🤣 one must PAY for convenience....
Costa Rica may be expensive but its still way cheaper than Canada. We eat way better for 2/3 the cost! We are in San Mateo and do the Santa Ana Pricesmart for meat, cheese and things we cant get at maxi pali. We have a truck that comes right to our door for all fruits and vegetables. Dairy is crazy expensive here so we buy raw milk(a federal crime in Canada) and make our own yogurt and mozzarella. We are lucky enough to have a lot of fruit trees so that helps also.
Are there stores in Grecia that sell organic produce and organic foods?
is it my monitor or is there some filter that "darkens" the stream? the video is really dark! as if it was done with a filter?
Is it possible to get your groceries delivered to your house there?
you can get pretty much anything delivered to your house here
Do you pay a yearly membership fee for Price Mart like we do for Costco and Sams in the states?
@@jana7183 yes but it’s only $40/year. Totally worth it
Is there somewhere I could buy frozen microwave meals? I am single and don't want to cook for one person.😮
@@bitsurfr46 hmmm. Im not sure. I don’t really see those where I live at least. Perhaps you can have someone come help you cook and have extras in the refrigerator for the week.
you are better off going to a local "soda" and buying several different meals or "casadas" and freeze them yourself.
@@DreamTeamSvcs that’s a good idea.
What about seafood?
@@Kaiya_Kayla_Mom lots of it!
Shrimp, jumbo $20/kg
I love the shirt!!!!!!
Yipppeeeeeeee
what?
Morning Sarah enjoying your video’s🦋🌷🦋
I remember your power outage last March. My four days in Uvita had several power and water outages. The property where I stayed supplied some water to Uvita so I had it. Noticed a lot of people cooked with gas in that area. Enjoyed yalls talk.
A back up generator is a must! Great job!
What about jaco? Is it a good place to settle down?
@@rp-ur6gd I like it a lot! I live 10 mins from jaco
Seeing the picture of you in Russia with your mother and grandmother, really showed your Russian features.
Yeah all those happen in the US too.
Thank you both for your great content. I really appreciate it coming from tico that lives in Las Vegas.
And that story about wiping out your money it' happened to somebody I know just about 1 month ago, they wanted to deposit 10 million colones to buy a property ¢80.000,000 she gave them the IBAM number, and they tried to clean out her account. But i did not work. Because there was no money in the account.😂😂😂 So please be careful.
Remember to explain and tell people about how they could steal their property in Costa Rica, I'm talking about your house and land
Used to stay in Uvita & Ojochal much but have grown a love for Escazu
A top question about a home is whether you can flush the toilet!
