What has been your experience with zip-lining in Monte Verde?
How has been your experience in Santa Elena? Any thing you might recommend?
I love the food at Monteverde Brewing.
The edamame appetizer was incredible
DID YOU FIND A DRONE STUCK IN A TREE? If so, it's mine! I flew it into a tree when I was there in 2022 and had to leave it and return to the U.S. ☹
Sadly, no. To be honest, the forest has probably reclaimed your drone by now with all of the lush new growth. It's probably some critter's AirBnB now.
@@SwannJunction Well that's cool. At least it was not a total $1,000.00 loss! 😁 And in the words of the Terminator: "I'll be back!"
For sure, I don't think it was a total loss if you'll be back. :)
@@SwannJunction Not only will I be back, but I will be back to STAY!!! I plan to move there in 2 years! 😃
Another great experience! Love the adventures and the quality! Looking forward to more content by Swann Junction!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mui Bonita 🎉
Si! Well worth the visit!
This is amazing. I had no idea there were so many.
And that does not include all of the other condo complexes in El Coco outside of Las Palmas
Basically US pricing.
Except for US name brands compared to local brands
Great video - very informative - though I wish you would have also put the price of each item also in US$s (I could barely hear you sometimes saying the Colon price). No bread?
Glad you enjoyed the video. If you look at the shopping list at the end of each section, it has both the colon and dollar price for each item at that location.
Don't be a fool...by moving to paradise and settling in a """touristy"" shithole. If you want to live like a gringo...stay home.
Thanks! VERY informative and helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I am honestly shocked by how close the prices were. However, I live in Santa Ana which is right next to Escazu. Perhaps the prices are just inflated here because there are lots of expats in the area. I primarily shop at Max x Menos. There is a Mega Super that is closer to me, but the variety is not the best and it is always pretty warm and not well lit. Additionally, the stuff I would want is basically the same price as the Mas x Menos, so I might as well go there for a nicer experience - even though the store is smaller. In my experience, it is never worth shopping at Automercado unless you are looking for something specific from the US and you don't mind paying for it. Otherwise, the prices are just too high. My best example of this is butter. The regular butter that they have here in CR doesn't taste like what you get in the states. For me it is fine for cooking, but if I just want butter straight up on a bagel, I don't prefer it. Another thing that we buy at Automercado is certain kinds of sliced cheese that we just can't find anywhere else. Other than that, we don't go to Automercado and really we are only going there if we are passing buy and then we stock up on butter and cheese. 😄
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I agree, Auto Mercado is where you would most likely find a very specific brand of a product that you may have enjoyed in the US and/or Canada as they tend to cater to those markets. That also comes with larger a price tag, though.
@@SwannJunction Just for fun, the next time you are in Automercado, check out the price of Crisco shortening. It will blow your mind! I almost bought one, to make some biscuits, but then I saw the price and instead bought a small CR brand of an equivalent product.
Ah, biscuits made with Crisco. A woman after my own heart. I will check it out and see.
I recently bought dog food and toys for a kid who dog sits in our area, and knew of dogs in need.🤞🤞🤞
We are dog people ourselves so this good deed is a huge joy to read!
I have been shovelling my neighbours driveway all winter
Great! Well the helping is, not necessarily the snow part.
I recently took a neighbour (who was without a car) to do a Costco buy
Glad to have helping hands like that around. Although, depending on the bill at checkout, it could have been a good thing or a bad.
I helped a seeing impaired lady pick her dog up from the groomers so she didn’t have to taxi back and fourth !
That’s awesome! Both for the lady and the dog!!
Luperon
Yeah, although gone, the plaza kept its name
Sweet idea! I help my elderly neighbors regularly. Always good to give back. 😊
Awesome!
We collected food items from several neighborhoods for our city's food drive
That's awesome! Thank you for sharing!
This is an amazingly helpful video. We are in the planning stages of our move to Costa Rica and COL is obviously something on our mind. I took your list and ran it through my Kroger application and came out with a cost of $81.73 after taxes. This definitely helps with budget planning when deciding if the move is right for you. Great Video and you have a new subscriber.
Thank you. We are glad that you found value in it and hope you will share your own personal experiences with everyone as well.
Recently I helped put on a philanthropy event where we raised a large sum of money for the SeriousFun children’s network (Alex Bass on the mailing list!)
So amazing!
Hi! I regularly volunteer at a local church. They run a food pantry every other Saturday to feed families in need in our immediate community.
That's awesome!
I shoveled my neighbors sidewalk after the massive snowstorm we got here in denver
Yeah, that was a huge storm.
I helped our elderly neighbor shovel this sidewalk and walkway recently!
My brother sent me pictures of that snow!!!
Always trying to reach out to people in need. Saturday, it was listening and helping a woman in financial difficulties.
That's awesome. I am sure there is no shortage of people with that very same need. (including me)
I was able to just sit and listen to a patient and help her navigate talking to her Mother about several issues . She told me it is the best she has felt in years regarding her relationship with her Mother and after talking with me she realized she has value in this world. Just a daily reminder to be kind to others and show love.
90% of being a friend is just showing up. Keep paying it forward!
Stay away from Costa Rica . It’s not worth the money. It’s the Monaco in Central America
What about Costa Rica do you not like and what country do you prefer instead?
Excellent realtor strategy show two cramped dark old units and then save the best for last show one bigger better close to the beach to close the deal..
Agree. And that honestly was the actual order that we visited properties and units. Maybe Ian did have a plan.
I contributed to a neighbour's go fund me to replace his roof and offered to help the contractor install it.
That's awesome! Glad you have your neighbors covered.
Wish we saw more of scenery during the car ride vs the dash..lol
Yeah, our external car mount was in the mail. We are all set for the next one. :) But honestly, there was quite a bit of driving around, so we tried to stay true to the experience.
Looking forward to watching your videos!
Glad you have joined us!
I bought a homeless man a burrito Thanks
Awesome!
😊
Great video of the condo searching process! Please include the monthly condo maintenance fees 'the nut" required with your purchase or maybe even the other properties too. Pura vida!
Most of the ones we looked into were around $250 USD per month for HOA fees. These fees cover ground maintenance, pool maintenance and security (if they have it). Pacifico was over $600 per month I am told.
Wow, thank you so much for the info! As someone who is trying to reduce my HOA and property tax overhead on my rentals in Texas, I am looking for CR options that I can move my rental property assets to an awesome and rentable area without the huge "nut" that I have here. Y'all inspire me to get my sh@@ together and finally get down there for major parts of the year. Thanks again. @@SwannJunction
It's nice to hear that we can be of help. Good luck! Pura vida!
Hello, cool video, beautiful nature, very interesting place, I enjoyed watching it, friendly like, have a nice evening, good luck and all the best🤗🤗🥰🥰😉
Thanks! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Glad you enjoyed it too.
One of the dirtiest areas of CR.
Sorry to hear that. However, that has not been our experience, but this video is about shopping for a condo in Costa Rica rather than a marketing campaign for El Coco. Hopefully you will find a place that suits your needs.
So beautiful may you both have many more wonderful years together!
Thank you! You too!
You both look so beautiful together. It's heartwarming to see such a strong connection between two people. I wish you all the happiness in the world.❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! We appreciate your support and well wishes.
Que bonito!!! ❤ Congratulations!!!
Thank you for your kind words and congratulations! It means a lot to us!
Amazing. ❤
It truly was.
