Harold The Tropical Gringo
Costa Rica
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 11 ต.ค. 2022
Hi, Harold here from the Netherlands. A tropical forest engineer, enthusiastic birdwatcher and a crypto fan. I'm currently based in Costa Rica with my family. Sounds fun and easy? SPOILER ALERT: I've come a long way...
After working as a mechanic for almost 20 years, I decided to my quit my job in 2016 and start studying again! This was a turning point in my life. Many lessons and blessing paved the where I am now.
Studying fulltime was intense and rewarding. I'm grateful I was able to do that and now I'm a proud tropical forest engineer in my forties!
I continue to follow my heart, which is living a free and adventurous life in the tropics, surrounded by nature.
That is why I started this channel. I feel the need to contribute in my own way to the protection of our amazing natural environment and I want to document my journey and help others by sharing my experience.
Come along and be part of this! Good vibes are always welcome :-)
Enjoy watching!!!

What's it like to drive in rural Costa Rica

Driving in Costa Rica can be fun and an incredible experience. Not only because the roads in Costa Rica are usually in good shape and traffic is relatively safe, but also because of the spectacular landscapes. However, driving in Costa Rica can be challenging and sometimes dangerous as well! Especially at night and during the rainy season in rural areas. This video shows an impression of what d...

Costaaaaaaa Ricaaaaa, hmzzz you are asking yourself if it was a good decision I dunno you got your iodine pills ? I mean you do realize what is going on in the east right and what the yanks are doing to YOUR and my future right you do realize that right, soooo what I can say : Enjoy your last days on earth my friend, you are in Costa Rica, good place to be, be careful for the bullet ants and his cousins whahahaha..... ouchhhhhh those things carry a punch Hahahahah ohhhh and euh don't forget your iodine huh wink wink hahaha .... I save a harinkje for you no problem !
Even een tip.... of opportunity....Bestel een E mtb uit China...
Leuke tip, maar weet je wat het ding is met online bestellen in Costa Rica? We hebben hier geen adressen en de infrastructuur om iets te laten bezorgen is beperkt. Ook betaal ik een hoop importbelastingen.
Die affiliate shit gaat um ni worden...Want jouw email responder waar jij 15eu per maand voor betaald werkt zelfs niet...Want je laat blijken dat je dan dat je online 10k verdient maar werkt gewoon voor staatsbosbeheer Costarica ....En je vrouw werkt daar...Je zit daar dus gewoon ook vast..net zoals ik hier in Midden Nederland..Ik doe het wel op m'n eigen manier...Het gaat om je netwerk bro...Ik ga bv ..volgende week naar een ouwe maat die een camping in zuid Europa heeft...Maar dat affiliate verhaal gaat mij en niemand niet 10k per mnd opbrengen...Maar idd van foute leer je...Gewoon je passie volgen....bos en beestjes...Als youtuber ga je het wel maken...Dat leverd nog het meeste op..youtube en jouw passie...check ....
Met die affiliate shit verdien ik nu wel mijn geld en nee ik betaal geen 15 euro voor mijn autoresponder. Nee ik verdien ook nog geen 10k per maand, dat claim ik ook nergens. Maar het is absoluut mogelijk, zelfs veel meer dan doet. Ik zie het anderen doen dus waarom zou ik dat niet kunnen. Het is alleen jouw brein die jouw vertelt dat dat niet kan 🙂 Beperkende overtuigingen snap je... En daar kun je iets aan doen 😉
You’re 100% correct. 👏👏👏
Great advice! I hope you are getting a lot of poon in paradise!
@@papaguth933 you’re welcome 🙏🏼
Nou ik heb het 45sec volgehouden 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱 IETS met Nederlanders en DIRECT.....
It could be heaven for everyone..
Lovely!
What a majestic bird!
Mijn god, wanneer kom je tot je punt? Saaiii
Common sense can only be valid for one particular cultural area. Move to another, and your common sense is no longer common with the indigenous locals,
Ga maar lekker hoor je spreek toch Geen Nederlands 🤣
I’m moving to Brazil in a few months. Trumps great but our entire system needs reviewed. Tons of corruption.
Agree 100%!
.... in Brazil !
"First world countries" are being invaded by intolerant cultures and more and more europeans are moving to America in general because of that and the high cost of living. Despite that USA and Canada are also experiencing it. I think it is a smart move to invest in SouthAmerica if you know how to do it.
I couldn't agree more!
I'm in the United States and often dream of living in The Netherlands for the walkability and good clean food! I can see you've gone for your dream, that's awesome!! I hope to do the same to your old country. lol Thanks for the stories!!
Walkability is definitely one of the pros about NL, I agree. Hope you can make the move and be happy there 🙏🏼
Lekker bezig maat en goeie content.. Ik denk zelf aan Roemenië, binnenkort op vakantie daar
Veel succes en geniet ervan!
Fijn dat jullie je plekje hebben gevonden, wij missen jullie ❤ tot gauw
Wij jullie ook! Kom maar snel een keer deze kant op ☀️🌴
Finding a good wife is the only explanation
100% true 🤣
bulà vinàka ,vinakà vakàlevu nañomu vdio thank you.
Wish someone give me a chance to live in the Netherlands. Tried many job postings but due to the fact that i live in the middle east it hard to get a positive response, i know probably most people will say we ja e enough but from what i saw most immigrants don't have proper education or degree which limits the chances for educated people to find a better life and contribute to the society
Liever niet blijf maar lekker waar je zit al genoeg buitenlanders hier 😉
The Middle East is better than Europe, in Europe no future, no safety, no work, but only prostitution, drugs, crimes, no religion, no culture, we are in a desert.
❤👍🙂

People don't want the Digital Age/Fourth Industrial Revolution/ New World Order - it is being forced upon us at an uncomfortably fast pace by a visionary technocrat who is 'shaping the future'. (Klaus Schwab). I'm very happy for you and your family. Congratulations! 🎉💜💪😎👍
Exactly!
Welcome to Morocco ,too.
XD bad weather, you work inside most of the times anyway. Politics is everywhere. Social media plays a large role in that so that is not a reason to leave. Not a single country knows freedom either. The main reason you wanted to live their because you are into tropics. Also it is very difficult for kids to move to a different country. Definitely not recommend that when you already have kids
@@-_YouMayFind_- sorry but I don’t agree. You’re right about that there’s no ideal country. Our kids love it here and adapted very easy and now they speak English and Spanish without taking any lessons.
In de US je in een gekkenhuis terecht GEKOMEN !!!!
I left the Netherlands 36 years ago and moved to the UK.No regrets 😊
My plan is the opposite. Hard for myself to understand why you would have no regrets coming here, and I suppose the same in that you wouldn't understand why I would want to move to the Netherlands haha.
lekker hoor:) goed voor elkaar zo.. vraag me af.. hoe verdien je online je centen:)?
Inderdaad niet vervelend om hier te wonen 😎 Heb je de link in de beschrijving van de video al gevolgd? Dan krijg je namelijk een gratis video waarin ik precies uitleg wat ik doe.
leeeggezogen door de bloedzuigerdienst
I love my country, the Netherlands. I love Costa Rica. I lived there for almost two years ❤
Jij vlucht en wij zitten met die buitenlanders opgescheept. Lekker dan.
Ik ben niet gevlucht gelukkig. Wilde al zeker 20 jaar weg, lang voordat het bergafwaarts ging 😉
The fact that you made this video already answered the question "Was It The Right Decision?". All the dreamers, who did go home again, didn't make a video about their mistakes.
Nederland gaat steeds meer op Amerika lijken. Alles draait alleen nog maar om geld. En de mentaliteitsverloedering van de samenleving krijg je er dan gratis bij.
Het is jammer maar waar.
Even if it was a wrong decision we always will make wrong decisions. Live your dream instead of only dreaming of another live. If it doesn't work out it doesn't matter. At least you didn't deny yourself a maybe great experience. Well done 👍
Exactly that!
This video is so good and transparant. Good that u love netherlands still and found happiness in costa rica. Ik ben ook zo XD
Thanks! Will make more videos soon 🙂
He starts talking about if it was the right decision around 5:48.
The Netherlands 😅 without Dutch people nowadays 😂
Crazy isn't it.
Don’t go to Spain. You don’t belong there . Adios amigo .
Some times I wonder.. Why? 🤔
@@BartGielinghyou voted for it and continued to vote for it until the deed was done. You only have yourselves to blame. A generations of traitors who sold their inheritance for virtue points.
Nothing New about is. Sinds the Christians are in the netherlands the original dutch fled to denmark and england.
Een Nederlander die de Engelse taal spreekt. 1. Ondertiteling aan. 2. Verdubbel de snelheid. 3. Sla af en toe wat stukken over. Conclusie: vooral een hoop uhm's!
Umh?
Hij praat gewoon goed engels hoor , maar een axent blijf je houden,,jij kan veel beter natuurlijk
En jij bent weer heerlijk op z’n Nederlands aan het zanniken😃
Ah ja jij bent natuurlijk veel beter, want niemand is zo goed als jij. Je bent boos dat een belastingbetaler Nederland heeft verlaten 😂
Marijke heeft altijd wat te klagen....typisch Nederlands, maar geef haar dit gratis en marijke zegt gelijk...uhmmm....gratis....ik ben weg....😂😂😂😂
I left NL 9 years ago today. NEVER will return! Live near CR now
Good decision!
But what about your wife?
Sometimes I think she loves it even more than me 😄
Really enjoyed your video,I’m from Scotland living in Colombia many years now and love it,wishing you all the best
I hear a lot of good things about Colombia! Hope to visit this wonderful country soon.
NEE DAT WAS ONTZETTEN STOM !!!!!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
hahahahaha. het is een kwestie van weken dat de eerste bom op Pernis valt. Veel plezier daar, 9 jaar weg daar uit de hel, NOOIT een stap meer in NL
I've saved a lot of money since I started eating a carnivore diet. In addition, various problems in my body have been cured and at almost 70 years old I can spend the next few years in Thailand in good health. The things you mentioned are totally unhealthy, apart from butter. But it's a good decision to turn your back on the EU/WEF state. Ready for something new and maybe even throw the mainstream prescribed diet out of the kitchen. Life is wonderful without fruit, vegetables, soy, sugar, cereals and grains.
I'm not saying I eat all of these products myself 🙂 I will have a look into a carnivore diet, thanks for the advise!
The globalists are destroying the collective West to usher in their dystopian agenda...I think you did make the right decisions for yourself & your family, especially for your kids...Sure , Costa Rica - or any other place for that manner - is not heaven, but it is much better than the evil dystopia Europe is becoming....I also did leave my country ( Belgium )...
Yes exactly! Good decision to leave your country as well. Where are you living right now?
@@tropicalgringoharold In Sweden we did emigrate to Sweden, after my retirement in 2014.... ( my husband is a Swede )
You look at lot happier and refreshed in Costa Rica than you were in the Netherlands! Glad I found your channel, I love to listen to expat experiences!
@@NorthlandGypsy yes I’m a lot happier here although Costa Rica is not the perfect paradise 😄
Hallo Harold! Groeten uit Portugal! Ik merk zelf dat ik in Nederland te veel in goed werkende systemen terechtkwam waar ik stiekem toch niet goed in paste. Hier in Portugal werken veel dingen duidelijk slechter, maar veel menselijker en dat werkt voor mij vaak beter. Ik gok dat je zelf ook zo tegen dingen aanloopt waar je Nederlandse vindingrijkheid van watertandt en waar je je in Nederland misschien meer in een soort machine voelde...
Die machine klopt inderdaad! Voelde voor mij helemaal niet goed en werd er door afgestompt. Maar het is ook wel even wennen zonder die 'veiligheid' 😄
@@tropicalgringoharold dat geloof ik zo! ik merk dat het extreem helpt hier dat ik extreem goed portugees spreek. 😂
Go and be happy. Goodluck with everything.
@@regntonne thanks 🙏🏼
