- The ultimate Costa Rica Vlog: surfing, monkeys, car recovery, river crossings, crocodiles, Costa Rican family celebration, jungle, paradise beach.
Last week we traveller through Nicaragua. In this episode we enter and spend our first 10 days in the very anticipated Costa Rica! We heard so much good things Costa Rica that we even started to wonder if reality would match our now built up expectations. Would we find amazing beaches everywhere as everyone said? Would there be a lot of wildlife?
A LOT happens in this episode, so much it was even difficult to select what to show what not, but we hope you love watching it as much as we enjoyed living it. But we are staying several weeks in the country so more is coming!
Thank you for travelling with us around the world, and if you are not already, subscribe to the channel so you are sure you do not miss what is coming up next!
Until next week, take care!!

Your videos are superior and you are the best adventurers on TH-cam. You not only take us places that none of us have ever seen, but you do it in such a pleasant way. You are both very wholesome and not annoying. This video was super enjoyable.
My thoughts exactly.
I third that! Great content!👍
That is really really nice words and we hope we will keep deserving them. It is hard to strike a balance and we re not pro video makers so it is not technically perfect but if only one person finds value in h th ose videos … we won! Thanks a million!
Prosperity don't come out that way overnight, what most people see at a glance wealth, a perfect career, purpose is the result of hard labour and hustle done over time.
I pray anyone who reads this becomes successful in life.
@@sophiamia4360 The recent market dip really shows that most people might not fully understand the financial factors at play. But don't worry, "there's always room to learn and grow our financial knowledge"
My best friend is from Costa Rica. A few years ago, I took her my homeland in Wyoming for the total solar eclipse. In return, she is going to take me to her homeland in Costa Rica. Can't wait.
That is an awesome deal!!! I m sure you will love it and it is so lucky to be guided by a local
After he detailed Albatross. She looked brand new. Thank you for the "good vibes" that you 2 give off in your videos. We enjoy them.
Thanks a lot Jack! Yes we barely recognized the Albatross hahahaha
"Just be a good human. Be humble, be kind. Spread joy, peace, and love."- Jamal Jamel, You Tuber, and one of my favorites. Mathilde and Nick, I feel like you two are doing just that. Keep on making a difference, shining your light.
Thank you Andrew ! We will try! We strongly believe in the power of positivity!
So far I think one of my favorite videos. With Mathilde's French accent going..."Beach, Beach, Beach, Beach.." Meeting ONCE again new friends, Albo getting a super clean, Surfing..This has to be a dream...It's just to much fun and adventure..
Hahahaha thanks Don! Yes so much happening it was insane and there is more to come
Costa Rica is amazing. Definitely one of my favorite countries. I love all the wildlife, and all of the tropical beaches are so nice. Your videos are always the best and you show us things that nobody else shows. You get into the heart of each country. Loved it and thanks again! 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
👍
Thank you Jeff for the kind words. Yes Costa Rica has proven at the level of all the great things we heard and beyond on some aspects! Hope you are well!
Costa Rica is beautiful. The wildlife was very cool. I think I could skip Nicaragua, but Costa Rica is special.
The detail job was nice, and your new logo and intro is very nice.
Have fun.
(Google hates Costa Rica for some reason. It changes the spelling every time. Expect to see some odd spellings)
Hey mark! Glad you like the new intro!!! We are super happy of it!
Perry.
Wow!. Your videos just keep getting better. If you ever make it back home you should consider editing the whole trip and selling it to a T.V station. Seriously, your content is so much better than T.V productions with budgets in the millions. WELL DONE YOU!.
Very Best Wishes and keep up the good work!
What a compliment ! We might need to get better at some of the technical side but are super flattered ! Thanks a lot lot lot for this great support it really motivates us
Nic, Mathilde, talking of wildlife, I spent the last 10 days surrounded by one of the most amazing and iconic bird in the world, that you will relate to, albatross. They are incredibly tame, not afraid of humans, walking next to you without any fear. Majestic in the sky, but quite clumsy on land. The easiest place to see them is the north coast of the island of Kauai (Hawaii). They nest in residential areas in Princeville between November and May. If you have chance, a truly amazing experience.
Wow that s fascinating Tristan we would love to see them on the way and maybe take a picture with the car one day hahaha we shall start looking where to find them because Hawaii is a bit off course
You guys never cease to amaze me! You are the best!
Thank you Sandra for supporting and taking the time to comment!
Did u buy a new LR? It's even called Alby. Wow! 😮 Next time u see the advertiser we have a car that needs detailing. 😊 U guys r the most courteous travelers. Grandma is proud! 😊 I didn't realize how beautiful the beaches r in Costa Rica. And no commercialism. How nice. 👼
Hahahaha yes we ll think about your car for next time. We had never done that and it was really surprising
Wow from huge crocks, cara blanca monkeys, Amazing beaches, great people you met to helping stuck cars I Have to say you both are wonderful and thank you for taking us along!! Loved it ♥️♥️🙌👏👏
Thank you for joining along Marcia!!!!
Really fun one - Coasta Rica, IMO, is the most beautiful of all of these Central American countries you've been visiting.
It is really gorgeous for wildlife and beach and it has been super realaxing
Wow! a beautiful episode in a beautiful country, ending with a beautifully detailed car. (I particularly liked the music of the aerial views crossing rivers.). Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I am always looking forward to seeing your adventures.
Thank you Sergio!!! Your comment goes a great way to motivate us to keep doing videos! All the best!
Hello les amoureux,
Superbe vidéo qui fait la part belle au plus beau pays du monde. Profites-en autant que vous pouvez. Vous ne serez en rien déçu par ce que vous découvrirez.
J'espère que vous nous ferez encore d'autres vidéo sur le Costa Rica.
Pura Vida.
Michel
Merci ! Oui on en a deux autres prevues! On reste en gros 1 mois dans le pays ! Des Bises
Costa Rica is my top dream place to visit so I’m watching with interest. How wonderful to have a beautifully clean as new Albo, all lovingly done by someone else. Such a treat. 😊
You should go when the leg is better ! We loved mainly the wildlife spotting and the beach were superb and warm
😊 Spectacular sunset at 19:45.
So many spectacular sunsets … it is crazy
Ohhhh, what an adventure. Thanks again for sharing with us!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
Howdy N&M! Congratulations on your beach conquering adventure! So beautiful and peaceful! The music and drone shots are always amazing! Too much fun on the rivah (Virginia pronunciation) crossings! Albatross Onward!
Thanks Stuart! Yes it was super nice !Onward !
Albatross looks great! Im sure it feels good for you to have a good clean. From what my husband says at least in his experience as a tico it is very normal to pay for someone to help you. You gave those guys who were stuck a big gift by helping for free. Im glad costa rica has been smooth so far. Cant wait to see where you go next week.
Yes you are right that is what we heard as well. We were really happy to help them and it was on our way anyways so not a big deal. But it was super honest of them to offer we found
Pura Vida!!!
Pura vida!
So amazing to see albo looking good as new after the wash over,great job by ur new friend👌👏👏👏💪🇵🇭
Yes super impressive we had never seen that or done that to one of our car it looks amazing
Alby looks so good!!! Having visited Costa Rica, I understand the endless beauty. The beaches, the volcanoes, the people and foods, all incredible. Might want to cover Alby for a while. Luv the new logo too!!! Watching over your shoulder from Port Angeles, WA., USA! Be safe!!!
Right!!!!? Haha yes we were so sad to take the first dusty road. Thanks a lot we are super proud of the new logo.
Awesome video as always Nick and Matilda. Albatross getting detailed it looked mint. Looks like it needed to be put behind glass to keep it looking mint. But y'all need him to take y'all around the world. The Land Rover defender that the swedish couples has was so awesome but albatross can go head to head with any other Land Rover defender and come out on top no matter what.
thanks a lot Chris! yes we thought the same we thought how can we go drive with it in the dust with that
Love every single of your videos especially the new animations!
Whooohooo thanks a lot Tino! We are happy it gives the generic a new vibe
Awesome video, guys! Beautiful drone footage as always and I love the wonderful music. Coast Rica is the gem of Central America. So glad you are enjoying you time there.
Stay safe and happy travels!!
Thank you Libby! Yes superb place! Really enjoyable to travel there!
Costa Rica is great! Love the piano music and I am not a lover of a lot of it. That was one of your best videos, but it is like the beaches in Costa Rica, they are all the BEST!
That s such a great compliment thanks a million.! Also for taking the time to comment and watch
@@NextMeridianExpedition It is funny, but I'm usually watching within 15 minutes of posting. I have been watching every week and will continue to do so, and of course leave a comment. Be careful of that knee! I once had a female student who injured her knee and reinjured it again. She was on crutches for half a year. She did it skiing. .
You two are living the dream. Costa Rica is incredible. I'm suspecting you are on the Pacific side, because the Caribbean side has very turquoise water and White Sands. Either side is very nice.
Yes exactly ! It was on the Nicoya peninsula!
Oooh!! Those beaches!
I could get used to that.
You guys look so relaxed in Costa Rica!
❤
Hahaha surely it was a change of rhythm although a lot has happened
😮Amazing places congratulations guys great trip and with the beautiful and spectacular Defender Albatross 👏👏👏💪living the dream
Yessss and thank you!!
Loving the sounds of waves..I'm jealous.
Sooooo relaxing
Love the new intro!!
Coool! New vibe for a new year !

The heart of the people and the country comes threw so well in the way you show the people and there countryside in your videos . And What a awesome job that guy did cleaning your rig .

@@NextMeridianExpedition 😁
Amazing experience in Costa Rica, truly awesome journey!
Thanks Cristian ! Was indeed superb
Wow, Costa Rica looks amazing. I'd love to go there but it's one of those places that would take such a long time and so much money to get to from Australia. I actually notice how relaxed you both seemed in this video! xxx
Hahahaa no stress in Costa Rica for sure! Pura Vida! Yes it s a long way and an expensive place to travel to . Even for us it was a good opportunity on the way
Noice! It was a pleasure having you in our home.
Noice! Thanks a million again James !
oOOOooo that opening animation is great!
Right !? Next meridian to the next level hahahaha
Looking forward to that Fondue 😂😂😂

Those beach camping spots are simply stunning. Love seeing the exotic wildlife, too!
It s true all of them so different and so gorgeous
Great video! Pura vida 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷
pura vida!
Costa Rica seemed like a nice change of pace for you guys to slow down and enjoy!!! And love the defender of that Swiss couple! It had the luxury feel of a camper inside
Yes it is true, generally with the heat we also don’t have the same energy level as usual hahaha this set up is really really gorgeous
You always find the best places to camp, "paradise " don't leave us hanging, did you take the money for towing? 😅 Albatross is looking like new, after that awesome detailing...
No no we did not! Hahah sorry we thought we said it in the video.
Good adventures again😅
Yes was a super week!

Bienvenidos! Pura vida! que disfruten!
Pura Vida! Gracias !
Wow, what a beautiful country!
It really is!
Wow! Costa Rica is amazing. And so different from neighbouring countries. Love the new intro and animation. Now that Albo is a famous TV star, he might insist on a stunt double to do those deep river crossings.
Thanks Penny glad you like the new style ! Yes he s asking for a double diesel shot nowadays hahaha
@@NextMeridianExpedition Hahaha - good old Albo!
he looks as good as a new un again
Totally!
I never stop being impressed by your journey and also how you present it to all of is. Your videos are outstanding and as always your music selection is amazing. I would like to know how you select the music. Praying for continued safe travels!!!
Thank you Roger 🙏 we are loving our trip and we use epidemic sound for our music, we usually search key words like, epic, travel, upbeat…
Wonderful video.
Thank you Alison!
Wow great video, beautiful paradise
Thanks Brendan! yes it was super super special
This was such an EPIC video! Loved everything about it, what a DREAM 😍 Enjoy, guys!!!
Thanks a lot!!! It was beautiful days for sure
You guys put together a amazing video this week .I know you must have ups and downs on this trip .But what memories you will have to last you into old age.
Thank you Dave! It was super hard to just pick what to show of this time in the Nicoya peninsula … so much happened. Yes you are right and that s also why we do those videos. They are our photo albums hahaha

bon apettite....loved it thanks..
Bon Appétit!
I'm excited to see more of Costa Rica.
Btw all beaches are public in Costa Rica
It’s so beautiful in Costa Rica!
I really really enjoyed this video! Costa Rica is beautiful! Beautiful content! Thank you for sharing!
Ooh happy to read that! Thanks a lot!
For sure those crocs at 6:30 are watching you!
I m still stressed thinking about it
You’re doing a great job of creating the feel of Costa Rica. It’s amazing how many wonderful people you meet.
we were indeed lucky!!!! thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment
I am wondering if you two will visit the Carribean side? I lived there for a few years in the early 2000's in Puerto Viejo. Would love to see how it has changed. There was good snorkeling at Punta Uva back then
We did! But not very long. We did spend a night in Punta UVA and it was amazing s tried to go snorkling from the beach but the ocean was very very strong current so it was not very successful.
While in Costa Rica, it would be great if you would go to the Nicoya area where many people live to over 100 years. It's one of the five blue zones of the world.
Interesting we ve heard of it. That entire week was filmed on the Nicoya peninsula a gorgeous place. We will research more thanks for the info
Defenders in paradise.
Totally hahaha 😍
The beaches looked super nice and warm. Crazy color crab. Are you going to be able to get the part for the charging system? The drone footage on that ridge was really cool also.
We ve got all the pieces yes! Thanks a lot Ron!
Great video!
Thanks Michael!
Full of adventure! So the crocs aren’t near the beaches? You will love the thousands of coastline around Oz for surfing. The northern hemisphere has crocs part of the way down the Queensland coast; and the Top End has lots. In WestAus you have to be more mindful of huge sharks! It would be a good idea to put up a drone (where permitted) before entering the water. How long have you set aside to be in Oz? Cheers 👍🏻🙏🦘
Hi Grahame! We planned around 4 months but this might change, it really depends on the difficulty to ship in etc … we ll start planning that soon cause it s coming up!
Beautiful beaches & wild life, never had pasta & onion, have to try.
Hahaha We like it. We add capers and Parmesan in the normal recipe !
Footage ❤❤
😍😍😍
👋🏻🤠✨
😎🙌🏼👋🏼
Theres nothing bad o say about Costa Rica, but, maybe a tad expensive, but , this is the price you pay, for security, great pepole.
Yes it s true and also in some area all the accesses to nature are paying but maybe that s the price of protection ?
You have to go to one of the many active volcanos. !
We did 😊
Hello, wonderful report. What ferry company did you sail to Costa Rica. Thank you for your reply and best regards.
Hey we did not sail to Costa Rica. We only shipped from Panamá to Colombia with overland embassy
😮 Avocados are toxic for birds!
Love your videos though and wish you all the best on your travels.
Owe we did not know but they eat them in the trees from what we saw. Are you sure they are for all specials ?
o.k.
Hello, beautiful, what is the name of this beach at the beginning of the film? Thank you for your answer, best regards.
Hi, it’s playa Rajada 😁
hI!! whats the name of the app u use to see the watts of the solar panel?
