I love it here 😀

Not sure. My landlady told me that's what it was. She has been here 25 years. Could be a different name at a different location 🤔

Was a surprise for me this morning...I have to remember to look up....never know what's there...

It was at my landlady's puleria. The first time there, I will go back soon and take a longer video....

Thank you...I'm glad that you enjoy them 😊 Now that I am more settled in, I'll try and make more. Happy Travels 😊

Definitely....you talk like ur from NJ with your slang! Sadly ..I'm from NJ But keep posting! I like the info

Haha...Minnesota born and raised

Lol...not even close to Jersey ...

I've lived all over the US

Thanks 😊 I walked from Cocles to Punta Uva today...about 5 ks to see what was in-between...answer is...not much 😉 My landlady owns a pulperia there. This was at her store....daily visitors.

I really appreciate it...I think there are 3 or 4 different individuals here.

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever that's amazing. I hope to make it to Costa Rica sooner than later, because I think it is an amazing place. Sounds like you love it!

​@aaronnoel7859 it has a little of everything for everyone. Happy Travels 😊

Hard to photograph 😆 🤣 😂 they don't move a whole bunch.

@LiveSlowDieWhenever it must be kind of surreal to watch an animal move that slowly, with such deliberate motions. I hope one day I can see them in person, I find Sloths fascinating

It never gets old. Even the locals stop on the side of the road to watch them. Having them at the house is unreal.

When it rains 😆 🤣

There is everything passing through here. Walked outside the other day to a 6 foot Boa. Scared the piss out of me. Will take a video next time...

Good morning 👋 I primarily shop at that store. It's less than a kilometer from my house, so easy walk there a 3 mil tuk tuk home with my groceries 😀 Every other day I am up there. There is a steady re-stock and I get my fresh protein depending on what I am craving. If you get friendly with the store managers they will get special things they usually don't carry...ie...they now carry Original Mt Dew 😀

$400 on up for a studio or 1 br. $700 and up for a furnished 2+ bedroom with utilities...up to a certain point with electrical. I pay $800 and have an awesome place with a view....video posted 3 months ago. Feel free to ask for any other information ☺️

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever How is the weather? (I've heard it's only good for 4 months) . Because I think about moving to costa rica . But I also have Vietnam and Thailand as an option

@taaest-xek oh goodness you are opening up a can of worms with that one in Costa Rica. Generally speaking December to May is the dry season, but usually starts raining around noon or so, just like Florida or Thailand...South...not Chang Mai. I've been on the Caribbean 6 months now...mid to upper 80s during the day. Central and Southern valley areas usually stays 75 to 80. Pacific beaches a bit shorter. I was on my way to SE Asia a few years ago...Covid came so I moved back here.

@taaest-xek there are 13 or 17 different micro climates here...just like Thailand....you can find your sweet spot pretty easily 😉

Nice to have for sure

I cook at home out of self defense 😆 🤣 😂 There are some really good wood fire places around now. Gringo mozzarella is pretty easy to find too.

That border run to Bocas was a trip

I thought so too. Was really surprised, a ton of litter and nobody really picks it up.

I was only on the side near the boat taxis to Isla Carenero.... To be fair, I didn't check out any more of the main island. No desire to honestly...may or may not go back??

I never thought that I would end up on the Caribbean...but absolutely love it here.

Thanks 😊 I am going to rent a scooter or quad and take a trip to the end of the road and see what's there.

Awesome...I'll start shooting some longer videos. Going to the Jaguar Rescue Center soon....wll have some good videos after

It's nice not listening to the after bar party 1/2 mole away 😉

Yes, but they are cute and don't bother anyone 😉

I haven't heard that before. There is a rescue center about a mile from my house, going for a tour soon. Just got back from Bocas del Toro Panama, there are Pigmy Sloths that swim down there...gonna check it out next trip. Thanks for watching 😀

My pleasure 🙏 Keep in mind, I have had a few people tell me that they only got 90...depends on the agent. Today there was a very nice yound lady working and didn't give me any hassle at all. This was the first time in over 3 years that I actually left Costa Rica for more than 1 hour. So, they are more likely to give me crap about being a Perpetual tourist 🤔 🙄 😅

Hello Kimberly 👋 You can live anywhere for $1,000 a month, that is my target high price, but I usually hit around $800. As far as A/C in Puerto, if you have a breeze, you can get by. I am lucky enough to have elevation and nice breeze at the new place. It's easier without a car on this side than with 1. And you can install a fence gor your dog if needed...I'll shoot a quick video...I passed on a lot of places for an easy fix. Thanks for watching 😀 Happy Travels

The electricity is VERY high here. Electricity bill is usually $20-30 without aircon...can easily hit $2-300 with.

Good morning, I hoping to start making some more videos soon. Had to move unexpectedly due to a crazy neighbor. Am all settled in the new place in Puerto Viejo...will be able to start running around soon. Doing a visa run/vacation to Bocas del Tor Panama next month...keep your eye out. Happy Travels 😊

I have a couple in my yard a few times a week. I'll take some more videos when they are more active.

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever thank jpu.

Thanks 😆

Hi, It kinda depends on location. I was looking into Manuel area a couple years ago, prices were insane every avenue I looked. Hear that it's overrun these days and lost it charm. FB Marketplace is really good these days. 4 months and you will be landing at the beginning of high season...higher prices and less inventory. Air BnB works better during the off season to turn a short term into long. Market saturation with those types of rentals here now, so easier to find. Everybody and their brother has a cabina or 2 for rentals now. Hit a local FB group and just watch there too. I stay away from the big ones with too much activity. Hit me up if you have anymore questions...I usually stay around $800 a month regardless of where I live. Happy Travels 😊

Had one at the last place I lived there...Condominio Nakury 2...was a lifesaver in that heat. There is a video on it I think 🤔 😅

Jorge does the form for you....he does a group form....Nicaragua has a form similar to the Pasa de Salud here. They do NOT ask you for anything at the Nicaragua immigration. I just say only here for passport stamp. The entrance and exit counters are literally 6 feet apart. It is totally opposite of the Paso Canoas Panama border. Nicaragua immigration are super chill and friendly 👌 They are getting their $16...don't care after that. The building is newer and air conditioned with very few people.

Maybe just put in a "dummy" hotel if not using Jorge? Not like they are going to check. They only ask ...occupation, marital status, and phone number.

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever Thank you so much. I'm almost there, not with Jorge though, just on a bus. I couldn't find his Facebook page.

I'm not sure if the link posted....Trips to the border to renew your visa. ...FB page. Jorge Vasquez

Thank you...very relaxing 😌

Don’t worry 😅be happy 😊

Good call...I don't like leaving my CC number with places like that...

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever thanks.

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever we drove to Panama it only took an hour got are passport stamped and drove back to Puerto Viejo.

@leelandglover7777 I have a visa run in November. Good to know, thanx 😊

Awesome....I am enjoying renting different vehicles to go run around with.

Only way to go... What was your favorite spot?

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever to be honest the beach even though the water was warm I still enjoyed it.. went to the Jaguar rescue to see the sloths and monkeys.. before Puerto Viejo we stayed in turrialba great time.

My black dog I got in Chachagua....the crazy one 😉

Not here....throw in the add ons...we'll worth it. $350 gets you a tiny place in a loud barrio around here. Plus the peace of mind having a solid landlord down here is priceless as you well know. I don't have to hear any yappy Chihuahuas or roosters at 330 AM. 350 yards from the beach and less than a kilometer to 2 big grocery stores. Couldn't ask for much more...

$500 a month gets you a clean 2br Tico house with Tico furniture. $700 plus utilities for more elbow room. I'm 6'1 and cook all the time...really need my space.

The place is awesome....come visit again soon 😀

Enjoy your vacation 😀 Pleasure to meet you..

I'm from small town Minnesota. I recommend doing 2 or 3 months in different areas...unless you really like or dislike?? San Ramon and Perez Zeledon are great Valley communities with perfect weather 👌 I'm in Puerto Viejo now and absolutely love it!! Not a beach person much...but the people are super chill!!! Happy Travels 😊

For FMP...yes. I am pretty sure you will get the same coverage once the hospitals here are tied in for that. Sarah Elena is in close contact with the person connecting Hospital Biblica and CIMA with the VA. It's the same person mediating...so to say...so should be easier. But it's the VA I'm 100% plus, so hoping for the outpatient services myself. They didn't list all of mine when I registered...if something is missing, have them adjust.

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever I guess what I'm saying is that in the US eith 100% I you can be treated for every issue. Even if it is not service connected because you are 100 percent. So the question would be is it the same outside of the US? Or is it jonlt service connected issues that are covered?

@alanm03 it is ONLY service connected issues listed by the FMP award letter. I also get optical, dental, etc...in the states due to my rating...everything is covered. The FMP is for S/C issues only....but it is global.

@alanm03 my 100% for PTSD doesn't do anything here. The other 80% Medical issues are covered once enrolled.

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever Okay thanks.

I grew up in Minnesota, but have lived all over. Mark Kellin if that helps??

Looks like your trying to bring america to Costa Rica with your manicured yards and gated community with no Chihuahuas barking

@kimanipatterson2653 😆 🤣 😂 they can stay there...it's nice and relaxing here. I moved to Puerto Viejo 2 months ago. Got a furnished house 100 yards from the beach for $700 a month. No Chihuahuas 😉 Sold the car and bought a bike...back to basics. Happy Travels 😊 😃

It's why I always buy inexpensive cars...yeah...they doctor the value gor taxing at every sale. I was floored about how many total frigging strangers wanted me to hold the note. No more cars for me. Can't use them around Viejo anyways...

Yes...exactly. Have you been?

Thank you 😊 How is Chachagua?

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever very good I need you to help me share for a dog who needs a responsible home, where can I send you a photo?

Facebook ​@@mariaisabelrojasrojas9892

Only dangerous at night...like most places.

Who or what demographic are 1000’s of killers are you referencing about?

I guess the bars downtown are a blast...close enough to pop from. 1 to another real quick. Sundays are best for more locals from what I hear... .I have yet to make it out...just moved a couple months ago....give me some reviews please 🙏

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever I will be traveling back to America on Saturday. I hope to find something

@jamesjones2173 hit Hot Rocks....am sure you will find some people to go run around woth for a night or 2. I'm not into the bar scene anymore.... The people here are super chill 😎

Weekends Friday or Saturday..there was a Beach party May 4th when we got there..we stayed in playa negla Airbnb down the road from the super k market I'll be back there next May.

Very relaxing 😌

@@LiveSlowDieWhenever 😅👍🙏
