I met my wife in Costa Rica and brought her back to the states so she would have a dual citizenship and moved here three years ago when I retired and I'm living the fairy tail life I grew up in New York and retired out of Las Vegas and I don't miss that life style I love the warmth I feel here and my wife pampers me PURA VIDA
I have a dual citizenship from the U.S. and Costa Rica and have been in a 3 year relationship with my girlfriend who lives in Cartago. Watching this vid got me more inspired and I'm close to buying a ticket to go live there in 3 months. I gotta do it, she's been trying to convince me for the past year. Thanks for this video, I really enjoyed it!
Great video guys. My wife and I moved here almost two years ago from Canada and Costa Rica truly feels like home. Our families didn't and still don't get it but we do. It is a fairy tail. Keep up the good work.
Michael is amazing. My husband Colton and I were lucky enough to rent his Tico house in La Fortuna. It was a great place for a great price and we got to see more of him than expected. As seen in his videos, he's awesome and honest so you can get some real opinions and answers from him. We can't get Costa Rica out of our heads ... and can't wait to be back. Hopefully for good!
OMG! My dear friend Annika!! I remember those days of volunteering in Osa Peninsula, and all ended up in a beautiful love and living story!! I am pretty sure you are so happy here! Amazing people Annika and Daniel!
We visited Costa Rica three years ago and no word of a lie as soon as we landed and got off the plane I felt like I was at home! I want to live there.Life is too short but I have a grandchild now and one on the way in Sept. Im being pulled in two directions and dont know what to do...
What a Great story. I just retired, a widower and would love to move to Central America CR sounds and looks fantastic. thanks for all the videos. can ya'll recommend a message board were I might meet some expats or folks on the way like me. Who knows, I might find a roommate to share the Dream in Costa Rica ! peace !!
Loved your story, thanks for sharing.....I live on Maui and will be moving abroad in 6 months or less with my little poodle. Coming to CR the month of Nov. 2016 to see if this place is for me.......many parts remind me of Hawaii but better because I love the culture, and the wildlife and nature nature nature...........
Could you please tell me the different between and "ex-pat" and an "immigrant"? Is an ex-pat someone from a rich country who moves to a poor country; and an immigrant is someone from a poor country who moves to a rich country?
Maybe it is how you see yourself, but if you move to another land you are an immigrant, and if you still want to connect with your last country, the "ex-pat" element is added onto that. I feel even more affection for homes of my past where I didn't have much, but was happy, and it could be something to share with others from that neighbourhood. Why the negative spin, guys?...
Anika, i am truly happy for you. That proves that fairy tales DO exist for some people. I wish you to continue having a long happy life with your Prince Charming. P.S. I am jealous! 😜
Is jt cheaper to vist up to six months or live there full time? Its just me and my three little chihuahuas. We live simple. And don't need much space or luxury living.
Things are really slow and rellllaxxxxed here in Hawaii but 10 times the price. I just bought a carrot for $1.19 yah just one carrot argggggg anyways you guys are a lot of fun.......thanks again for sharing your info!!!
Hey guys, were making the move to la fortuna, trying to find a place to live. two small dogs , girlfriend and a baby. I know this is your backyard so I was hoping you might be able to give me some tips or help finding a place.

That's great to hear..... cause it definitely doesn't happen like that too often. congrats.
Nice, so happy you are also living the Pura Vida life :)
Good for you ! If you wind up in the public medical system your wife will be putting Pampers on you ! The irony !
Nice! a fairy tale come to life, glad that happen
Magic life. Yay.

Hi Michael, Hi Annika, Thanks for both videos! After seeing your recent (April 2024) interview, it was fun to go back and learn more of the backstory.

Is an ex-pat someone from a rich country who moves to a poor country; and an immigrant is someone from a poor country who moves to a rich country?
yes, that pretty much sums it up.
Maybe it is how you see yourself, but if you move to another land you are an immigrant, and if you still want to connect with your last country, the "ex-pat" element is added onto that. I feel even more affection for homes of my past where I didn't have much, but was happy, and it could be something to share with others from that neighbourhood. Why the negative spin, guys?...
Anika, i am truly happy for you. That proves that fairy tales DO exist for some people. I wish you to continue having a long happy life with your Prince Charming.

yup, so far so good.
How inspiring...I'm coming to Costa Rica and my intention is to marry a tico.
are you guys OK?, I haven't heard anything from you like a month ago!
Do people live on boats in Costa Rica? If so, could you do a video on that kind of lifestyle?
At first I thought he meant “A Nica” (from Nicaragua) 😅 sorry.
too funny. that is just how i often hear things as well, so i can definitely relate.... hahha
Volunteer? For what? A trip? Lol!
nice
omg.... a gringa charrapastrosa! lol
Women can talk all day and really say nothing.
