i met Kima and Nicholas in Costa Rica at a local coffee shop. . they told us their story and have remained friends since then. they are an amazing couple with beautiful children and such a great heart. They are salsa dancers too...
Do people realize how stressful it is to live in the U.S? And yet as the most powerful country on earth like most of us claim the U.S is not even in top 10 countries where people live comfortably and happy.
It's not stressful if you are not spending what you do not have. I see people working 3 jobs because they want to have a big house or flashy cars instead of taking the bus or walking. The biggest issue is not incomes but lack of financial knowledge and living within one's means
_Yes. I'm American citizen who left the US about 9 years ago. I touchdown to renew documents, for weddings, funerals, baby showers and to check on my rental properties in person._
@@TheAngelsGirl omg it's you on the video!! ✨💖 your family is so sweet. And by the way, your Spanish is really impressive. Did you learn it all during your time in Costa Rica or had learned it in the US? You even sound Latina 💃 Congrats so much on your health getting better and your sweet family. Pura Vida! 🇨🇷🌴

I’m in tears! Tears of joy for them…how beautiful. I’m Canadian and have NEVER travelled anywhere in my life, but I knew in my heart I wanted to be somewhere by the ocean, warm climate, laid back life…by some Divine intervention, some property in Costa Rica fell into my lap and I’m getting ready to build a home there in the coming years…that is where I will be retiring and spending most of my time. Can’t wait!!! I too am a cancer survivor (stage 3), and I truly believe the fresh air, nature, good healthy food is a natural cure for diseases… my body took a beating from radiation and chemo and I am still not myself. It will take a lot of time for the damage to recover…I’m thankful I’m cancer-free now, but I NEED to be in Costa Rica, for my health’s sake. God bless everyone, we all deserve joy in our lives. ❤
It's such a blessing to have a partner that actually wants to make this type of move. Even the best of couples are not always on the same wave-length when it comes to these types of major life changes. May this couple/family continue to grow in love and thrive wherever they go!
Real Talk Truth Teller Facts I want to move abroad perhaps CR and my husband is stagnant miserable in her job, complains daily including all day today as I type this My mother and I want to visit CR in 2024 in 1-2 months We want to see what’s better renting or buying or building there She’s from Jamaica and would love to live like this again and die in an environment like this while seeing her daughter happy and healthy instead of worried and stressed daily
This was a beautfiully made segment. I am so glad to hear you are healthy. I lived in CR for 5 years, it changed my life forever. They are some of the kindest people, it is the most beautiful place ive ever been. I lived in NYC, it cured my mental health issues, my weight issues. You are so active in Costa Rica. I also was living on a limited income, and eating all that fresh food and going to the beach everyday lowered my stress level and made me so happy
It sounds amazing. New Zealand has such high rent, petrol and food costs that buying basic items of fruit is off the table for most people. I used to put raspberries on my porridge 10 years ago, but that's unaffordable now. It must be amazing to live somewhere where fresh food is affordable.
This gets me so emotional because everyday I ask myself why do I go to a job I hate just to keep a roof over my head, surely this is not the American dream.
Forget about "the American Dream". It no longer exists, if it ever really did. Imo (and others smarter than me) it was just a tool for promoting consumerism and debt. Tap into fulfilling your purpose in life. Here's to hoping you find your true "glory". 🙏🏾 💕
I went to CR once and it was the only place and time I wasn't negatively reminded that I was black. In fact I didn't sense any racism during my stay. Zero. Very peaceful country in general.
I’m not surprised. In Costa Rica we are not as obsessed with labels and there is a lot more mixing… most of us have some European, some Amerindian and some African in our genes, so we’re not so divided in distinct groups.
This is a beautiful video! Im in tears! Congrats on being cancer free! We turned on the tv and my husband always goes to TH-cam first. This was the 2nd video on the list and I said “click on that one”. My husband looks and instantly says “I know her!” He said you all went to school together. His name is Bryan Taylor
My wife is from Costa Rica and we live in Texas. We got married during COVID and have been married 3 years now. She is there in San Jose and I will be joining her in 4 days for my first trip to Central America and I can hardly wait. The only thing keeping me in this country are my children from a previous relationship but, my wife and I are already planning our escape. If I could take my sons I'd be on the next flight smokin'!
Start setting up things from now so when your children are grown relocating will be smoother and also you can have property to leave to them or somewhere they can go to outside of the country
How old are the children? How often do you see them? Are you a better man and father here? My brother has a 9 year old son here He’s miserable and not a better man or father because of all the worrying, stress, weight gain He sees his kid two a month and speaks with him via FaceTime daily I told him….MOVE!!!!!!! Go to where you will thrive not just try to survive Move to where you’ll be a better man and father to this kid Do you want all his childhood memories of you stressed, worrying, not smiling, depression, agitated , snappy, etc He’s now looking for land to build on in Virginia We are looking for land/property abroad possibly CR
One of the best pieces I"ve seen. This family integrated rather than expecting their new host country to conform to their American ideals. Kudos to these wonderful people!
I love this! We are not meant to live stressful lives. Good for them taking the leap. There’s a beautiful world out there and we should experience as much of it as possible.
My wife and I both experience lactose intolerance in the states but when we go anywhere else in the world we are completely fine. There’s something in the states that just make us exhausted and sick.
Agreed. All this “gluten free” stuff is not people suddenly becoming allergic to grain in 30 years, but the people being allergic to the new powerful chemicals they started spraying on the grain. Food companies know this and just dont give AF.
I traveled to Costa Rica in 2016 and I agree, the people are so incredibly kind and welcoming, and me and my friends felt safe there. I'm not surprised they decided to move there.
I was in CR for a month in 2022, and my (bad) arthritis felt non-existent, even for many months to follow. My cousin ( a native) said it's the lack of inflammation in my body due to the food and the environment. I'm trying to get dual citizenship since my father was a Jamaican Costa Rican. ENJOY that beautiful country.
Yes, it is! It seems that property prices really jumped after the government imposed the shutdown. Plus, the federal reserve has been playing around with economy by raising the interest rates.
I saw a documentary on blue zones a few years back. One guy they interviewed was from a zone in Italy, moved to the US to work, and got diagnosed with cancer in his 60's. He decided to move back home to die but ended up living into his 90s. There is probably something to the fresh food, clean environment, community & low stress.
i live off 600 dollars a month in Bogota, Colombia. Best Decision in my life to move to Colombia in 2013. 11 years in and no regrets! Everytime i visit the USA it gets stranger! just my opinion! Cheers
You need to take a firm decision then Google everything. Money, culture, geography, food, what are your wants & needs, what is realistically possible, what are your deal breakers... More than 200 countries in the world so there's an option for everyone. Voting with your feet and your wallet is the only way that works.
I agree so much with what she said!!! Living in the US I feel so much heavier energetically. I lived in Switzerland for 3 years and although I was more alone I felt energetically lighter. I am really glad to see she and her family are doing so much better. Love this video!
The butterfly that flutters across the screen when she's talking about her beginning to healing when she chose the naturopathic route and went to Costa Rica for their wedding, is symbolically beautiful 🦋💖
Everything they have said is all true. We bought a house in 2020, 5 minute walk to the beach. I, too, battled with breast cancer 2 weeks after my son was born. Stress can bring back the cancer, that’s one of the reasons why we needed a place away from the states. There is a sense of peace and relaxation when we go there. We just got temporary residency and now we are looking to start a cafe right across from the Liberia airport, open late 2024. Come in and visit us if you all fly into Liberia.
@@TheAngelsGirlHi. So good to hear from you. The cafe will be called The Landing Cafe, it’s right next to the gas station at the Solarium. We should break ground next few months. Yes, please come in and say hi to us. We should defiantly keep in touch.
@@THE-X-Forcewe didn’t purchase this house, as we don’t plan on living on Nicoya long term. I am unsure of the square footage as that is not important to me. I am being inundated with messages and questions, so I won’t be able to see or answer them all. Thank you for understanding.
I love this episode; it was focused more on the non-financial side, I think. And I teared a little to hear about her sister who passed and she couldn't go be with her for the last time. So sad esp since her sister was with her during her cancer journey. Am so happy you're cancer-free and I hope your lovely family will continue to thrive in that beautiful place. 🌞
The fact that her body and health improved away from the US is evidence that life sucks here. Whether it's the food or environment, this country keeps us all sick.
Yes, it's also a mindset thing. People consume junk content online all day and watching Tv. They don't consume anything inspirational or beautiful or appreciate art. That keeps people equally unhealthy. Junk in, junk out. th-cam.com/video/FHwfJDqerGM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Jw1hj285icbi3M2Z
It does and I cant even put a finger on it, I lived in Hawaii for 10 years, NYC prior to that. I know live in Turkey with my two teenagers and I was never happier. Life is very simple here and the people are so nice.
They rent a three bedroom for 628 a month including utilities. Where I live here in Florida it's impossible to find something that cheap lol. Kudos to them for making their move and wish them many more years of happiness
Yes, but they are spending $1200 month on groceries. Food in CR is very expensive unless you eat rice and beans everyday. $1200 a month in groceries in Florida would feed a family of 10 people. Their rent went down but their grocery bill likely doubled. $3000 a month in a lousy town in Costa Rica is not that great.
@@Originalman144 Yeah you can feed 10 even more but eating a lot of trash, in Costa Rica only trash food is expensive and for what i saw they eat out a lot and that is expensive too.
My daughter went to Costa Rica last year and loved it!!! This video has convinced me that this is the place to retire " comfortably." Are you with me daughter dear???
CR is not cheap. I just spent 1-month there and spent probably $600 on groceries. Everything was pricey and imported in the local supermarket. It's getting expensive for locals as well and that's when crime goes up. Guess who will the locals blame and target when prices get too high?
@@cjsansoo7I am originally from Costa Rica and what the comment above said is true, thanks to American gentrifiers among other political problems, the country is becoming very dangerous... And this is just beginning.
The healthcare in the US can cripple you financially, it’s insane how much it costs. Even with the massively overpriced insurance you still pay so much out of pocket
I was in Costa Rica in late 2022 , and the energy from the people there were so positive. The nicest people I've come accross thus far. I love Costa Rican people! And I didn't feel discriminated against cause I was a black man.
This is so amazing!!! Chemo killed my oldest son after just one round! 3/11/2023. From a cancer I was told. That was completely ans easily curable! So glad she listened to her body and stopped and moved to a better place for her physical and mental health
I visited Costa Rica last year, and omg Costa Ricans are so FRIENDLY, I never felt hostile/hateful energy from anyone there. I never visited a country where NO ONE was rude. I loved it, hopefully I'll visit again soon.
I am a native of Austin TX. The stress of keeping up with inflation is very stressful. My husband and I have discussed moving to another country. My husband is a retired county worker and a Veteran but still has to work to keep up with inflation and I work Krazy OT. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I visited Costa Rica a few years ago and the people treated me like I was a movie star. I'm stuck in Houston for now because immigration is backlogged. I can't wait to escape this place because I now have anxiety and I never had this before...😢😢
No they just are normal kind people whereas americans are mean and unfriendly, that why u felt normal ppl treating u like movie star, you never knew what it was like to talk to normal healthy ppl
Philippians 4:4-7 [4] Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. [5] Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; [6] do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. [7] And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Omg! Congratulations on kicking Cancer’s butt! I was at a work event last night and Costa Rica came up heavily as a place to live that was black friendly. Synchronicity!❤
Had a coworker move here during the Pandemic too. I have visted Costa Rica, and would 100% move there. Im not a naturopathic person, and would never move for that reason, but Costa Rica has amazing food, people, life, things to do, and its close to a lot of other amazing countries.
They are living my dream! We are split between Costa Rica, El Salvador, & Belize. I thought Costa Rica was more expensive I’ll have to check out the area they were in.
It's is more expensive, but if you have around 2,000 it will be enough. If you can get accustomed to living like a local, you might not even need that much.
Haven’t been to Costa Rica but have been to both El Salvador and Belize. Both are beautiful, locals are friendly, and it is extremely easy to busy whatever you want in either country.
So this area where they live (Nicoya) in Guanacaste province is not as expensive as it is a coastal province but not exactly on the beach, is a small city and they seem to be living on the outskirts of it which is why renting a house for $600 a month is sooooo normal (I live somewhere similar on a different part so yeah)
What an amazing testimony!! My childhood friend and I are planning to move to CR. I retired last year and she retires this year. We visited CR 2x last year. We stayed 25 days the first time & 2 weeks the second time. I live in NYC, the concrete jungle. I need the CR jungle loaded with nature.😊 Beautiful beaches with natural pools! Fresh food & fruits!! Flip flops and sarongs every day!!
I spent a month volunteering at a sea turtle conservation in Costa Rica in 2006 and it was the most incredible experience. Don’t go down there expecting all the American conveniences though. It’s a much simpler way of life. Many Americans think they want that, but then they get there and aren’t into it long term. Just something to keep in mind.
I left the U.S. 2 1/2 years ago and I have not looked back! I was supposed to go to Thailand first but couldn't because of covid, so I went to Mexico first with the intention of only staying for like 6 months until Thailand eased their restrictions. Well I;m still here but on my way to Thailand soon. Don't believe it when they tell you that the U.S. is THE best place to be. It's not. It doesn't mean that I hate the U.S. I don't. I was born and raised there as was my entire family, BUT....I will say that the people of Mexico have been very kind to me and I feel like a human being first instead of having a label placed on my skin color first. Mexico is part of my future and I'm pretty sure Thailand will be too. Sad to say, but the only time that I will go back to the U.S. is to visit friends and family, but never to live. (unless through some tragic and twisted fate, I'm FORCED to..lol). I feel happier and safer outside of the U.S.!
As a soon retiree, keeping my 401k on course is my top priority. I have been reading of investors making up to 250k ROI in this current crashing market, any recommendations to scale up my ROI before retirement will be highly appreciated.
The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within the short term but to execute such a strategy, you must be a skilled practitioner or be working with one.

To achieve the "American Dream" takes a lot more out of us while seemingly less and less achievable. The rat race is making us collectively stressed and unhealthy. Plus we have the issues of astronomical healthcare, housing, and childcare, along with gun violence. As a mother of 2, it's in the back of my mind every time my children and I leave the house. That wouldn't be an issue in a place like Costa Rica. I commend them for taking the leap. My family and I aim to do the same around 2027, when my kids are a bit older.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story! Im sorry for the loss of your sister and not being able to get back. I hope you all continue to thrive in Costa Rica!
Very beautiful story. I'm friends with Kems's mom and she is so proud of her daughter and the family. I love their life and love how they turned a challenge into a triumph. This is inspiring and thought provoking. I have thought about moving to another country to better my health and savings goals. Thank you Kema and Nicholas for sharing your story. Congratulations on being cancer- free and staying healthy.
Costa Rica is my favorite place in the world. This video was just the kick in the plans to develop a 2 year plan to permanently move there. It is better for my mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.
What a beautiful, lovely family. Amazing people. So happy to see such a wonderful family, thriving! My niece and her toddler recently moved there and she is so happy!
Great story, thank you for sharing! I hope the family sees all the comments being written. Wish them a long positive life and prosperity! Gee...this vid made my morning! Again, thank you!
Wow! Thanks for sharing your story! I had a good friend who passed away from cancer. She was doing well when she stopped chemo, but when she decided to start back there was a change.
I was down there for vacation in 1996 A beautiful and friendly Country. When it was time to fly home, I didn't want to leave Costa Rica. The highlight of our trip was visiting Mount Arenal volcano. Watching the volcano erupting all night. I'll never forget it. I could easily go back and live in Costa Rica. The only thing that I didn't like was the smell of mold on their paper currency due to the high humidity down there.
My half brother and sister mom is Costa Rican! They love visiting they have family there and land that’s already ready for them when they are ready! I definitely want t move out the country! I was thinking Canada lol but Costa Rica sounds so much better!!!
"No culture in the US" .. ? ok well if you can't find culture here then good lucking finding it anywhere on Earth. Have a nice trip .. you will not be missed.
Everywhere will be cheaper/better if you have more money. The US is a great country (I am an immigrant) for making money. I was not making 6 figures but saved 54% of my salary which allowed me the freedom to do whatever I wanted, including quitting a job I did not like. I live alone, can go on vacation if I wish. The key is to live on a budget and live within your means. Most Americans are so obsessed with buying things/having lots of money. It's not how much you make but what you do with what you make. Costa Ricans would argue life is better in the US.
Smart comment, I am also an immigrant. The US is dirt chest compared to how much one makes. So easy to save on a 5000$ salary vs 1000$ salary abroad even if cost of living is a bit cheaper abroad.
A family of 4 is vastly different from 1 person. This is our experience, I am glad it is working out for you though. That is what matters most, is that your life and lifestyle works for you!!
"It's not what you make but what you do with what you make" That's the thing. For them, Costa Rica is cheaper and better than the United States AND they're a family of 4! They're living in comparative ease on what would be considered lower income in the US and not struggling financially over their housing and medical needs. We are also a family of 4 and this video further affirms our decision to leave the US in a few years. I'm personally so over the rat race and want a less stressful, more peaceful life. We are saving now to make it a reality.
I can't adequately express how much I loved this segment.... It's beautiful! I'm so happy for this family. It's shameful that the US, with, all its resources, potential and amazing people, won't create a better quality of life for citizens. Profit is king at the expense of all else.
What a wonderful family, so resilient and willing to do whatever it takes for health and happiness - kudos! And so wonderful to see your healing journey! ❤
Wow so nice to hear from this family. I would love to live in or at least visit Costa Rica someday. Even though i didn’t visit it ik it’s a beautiful country. Bless this family.🇨🇷❤️
Thank you for sharing your journey ❤️ I’m 67 and want to move out of the U. S. I have been researching places where I can live comfortably on about $2700 a month. The only reason I’m still here is because of my 91 year old mother. I will not move away from her at this stage of her life. My only sibling is 74 and disabled.
my niece and her hubby wanted kids, but not in amerikkka. they moved to costa rica had a baby and are living much less stress. that said moving to another country where u don't speak the language is rough, so prepare
I'm just crying all throughout your story. I totally relate, and I can feel in my bones that I'm on my way out of the Country too. Thank you for sharing so much and for inspiring me and others.
You cannot legally work in CR until you obtain residency or you start a business at $150k investment. . Getting a work visa requires proving your job cannot be done by a Costa Rican. A wellness coach is not one of those jobs. They obtained residency only in 2022. Did they not work for 9 years? Or did they get a permit by starting his business for $150K. All the prettty camerawork and the story is nice but details would be good too. I am happy for them and it’s wonderful she is cancer free. CR is a wonderful place and we too have considered it. Just not quite as simple as this paints it
What a beautiful story of God opening up new doors when you feel like everything is going wrong. Imagine loosing your home and going through cancer - feeling like your life is falling apart - and then ending up living an amazing life in Costa Rica. Love this story.
I'd say the real risk is cutting their life short for the "fear of losing" something they might not even have in the first place 🤫 Perception is everything...
@@kittymogulco Last sentence is on point. Healthcare and cost of living, sure. But if you don't fix yourself and your personal problems when you're here the problems won't just magically go away in another country.
Thank you for sharing. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm currently in aftercare for breast cancer, and to hear that you had a child 14 months after lets me know there's still hope.
Costa Rica is having a ton of safety issues from the drugs so be careful. Also Costa Rica import taxes are crazy so if you appreciate any material purchases here and there get ready to pay a heavy extra (+40%) compared to the US on anything that isn’t made locally
If you're going to make the change, the materislistic mentality has to change too. I'm from the US and married a tico and lived in CR for over 30 yrs. CR produces and offers everything folks need to live comfortably. I'm back in the US because DH wanted to spend a few yrs of his professional career before retiring early. We have no desire to remain here...5 more yrs tops and we're out. We have no debt and live with just the basics to save $$$ and be gone
@@gissellevillegas3831 NIce! Be careful with the drugs and violence though, they are producing that too now from all the Hondurans that are expanding their drug business there
i met Kima and Nicholas in Costa Rica at a local coffee shop. . they told us their story and have remained friends since then. they are an amazing couple with beautiful children and such a great heart. They are salsa dancers too...

I’m not surprised. In Costa Rica we are not as obsessed with labels and there is a lot more mixing… most of us have some European, some Amerindian and some African in our genes, so we’re not so divided in distinct groups.
Black people blend in much easier in CR, since most of the time everybody will just assume you are locals.
Same for me in Taiwan.
This is a beautiful video! Im in tears! Congrats on being cancer free!
We turned on the tv and my husband always goes to TH-cam first. This was the 2nd video on the list and I said “click on that one”. My husband looks and instantly says “I know her!” He said you all went to school together. His name is Bryan Taylor
Lol that is so awesome I hope she sees your comment
Such lovely people. So glad they are happy in their new life. Makes me happy.
My wife is from Costa Rica and we live in Texas. We got married during COVID and have been married 3 years now. She is there in San Jose and I will be joining her in 4 days for my first trip to Central America and I can hardly wait. The only thing keeping me in this country are my children from a previous relationship but, my wife and I are already planning our escape. If I could take my sons I'd be on the next flight smokin'!
Good for you! My husband is from the DR and I’m honestly thinking the same. I need more peace and happiness.
Start setting up things from now so when your children are grown relocating will be smoother and also you can have property to leave to them or somewhere they can go to outside of the country
@@biscaynesupercars I'm boarding the plane now!🙏
@@terenceharris9432 nice. Safe travels
How old are the children? How often do you see them?
Are you a better man and father here?
My brother has a 9 year old son here
He’s miserable and not a better man or father because of all the worrying, stress, weight gain
He sees his kid two a month and speaks with him via FaceTime daily
I told him….MOVE!!!!!!! Go to where you will thrive not just try to survive
Move to where you’ll be a better man and father to this kid
Do you want all his childhood memories of you stressed, worrying, not smiling, depression, agitated , snappy, etc
He’s now looking for land to build on in Virginia
We are looking for land/property abroad possibly CR
One of the best pieces I"ve seen.
This family integrated rather than expecting their new host country to conform to their American ideals. Kudos to these wonderful people!
I love this! We are not meant to live stressful lives. Good for them taking the leap. There’s a beautiful world out there and we should experience as much of it as possible.

My wife and I both experience lactose intolerance in the states but when we go anywhere else in the world we are completely fine. There’s something in the states that just make us exhausted and sick.
Agreed. All this “gluten free” stuff is not people suddenly becoming allergic to grain in 30 years, but the people being allergic to the new powerful chemicals they started spraying on the grain. Food companies know this and just dont give AF.
There is a protein in cows milk in the states that is not found in other places. A2 milk is milk you can buy that you may be able to drink here.
I traveled to Costa Rica in 2016 and I agree, the people are so incredibly kind and welcoming, and me and my friends felt safe there. I'm not surprised they decided to move there.
i retired from the army after 21 years and moved back to my contry el salvador in 2021. im more than happy here
Thank you for your service
It is amazing what the right environment will do for your health.

My sister! I am from Houston and had breast cancer TWICE! So happy to see her thriving!!! Praise the Lord 🙌🏾🙏🏾💕
I was in CR for a month in 2022, and my (bad) arthritis felt non-existent, even for many months to follow. My cousin ( a native) said it's the lack of inflammation in my body due to the food and the environment. I'm trying to get dual citizenship since my father was a Jamaican Costa Rican. ENJOY that beautiful country.

America is TOO EXPENSIVE 😢
Yes, it is! It seems that property prices really jumped after the government imposed the shutdown. Plus, the federal reserve has been playing around with economy by raising the interest rates.
Americans moving to these countries are doing the same for the locals.
@@shaheev8011 What the fed did reduced inflation.
It can be, depending on where you live.
@@todd2324 Yup, my brother lives in the Bay Area out of $10,000/month, he can only save $4000.
she became cancer free when she moved to costa rica, lady and gents, you should try visiting costa rica, the food and air is totally different.
No thanks!! They displace local people from Costa Rica and increase prices in the area. Gentrification.
"Medical research estimates as much as 90 percent of illness and disease is stress-related."
The book “The Myth of Normal” by Dr Gabor Mate on this exactly topic is so validating.
I saw a documentary on blue zones a few years back. One guy they interviewed was from a zone in Italy, moved to the US to work, and got diagnosed with cancer in his 60's. He decided to move back home to die but ended up living into his 90s. There is probably something to the fresh food, clean environment, community & low stress.

You need to take a firm decision then Google everything. Money, culture, geography, food, what are your wants & needs, what is realistically possible, what are your deal breakers... More than 200 countries in the world so there's an option for everyone.
Voting with your feet and your wallet is the only way that works.
I agree so much with what she said!!! Living in the US I feel so much heavier energetically. I lived in Switzerland for 3 years and although I was more alone I felt energetically lighter. I am really glad to see she and her family are doing so much better. Love this video!
The butterfly that flutters across the screen when she's talking about her beginning to healing when she chose the naturopathic route and went to Costa Rica for their wedding, is symbolically beautiful 🦋💖
Everything they have said is all true. We bought a house in 2020, 5 minute walk to the beach. I, too, battled with breast cancer 2 weeks after my son was born. Stress can bring back the cancer, that’s one of the reasons why we needed a place away from the states. There is a sense of peace and relaxation when we go there. We just got temporary residency and now we are looking to start a cafe right across from the Liberia airport, open late 2024. Come in and visit us if you all fly into Liberia.
Hi! We usually prefer to fly into Liberia. I will definitely stop into your café when its open. What is the name of your café?
@@TheAngelsGirlHi. So good to hear from you. The cafe will be called The Landing Cafe, it’s right next to the gas station at the Solarium. We should break ground next few months. Yes, please come in and say hi to us. We should defiantly keep in touch.
What did you pay for that house, and what is the sq ft.?
No answer .. I wish I could say I was shocked.
@@THE-X-Forcewe didn’t purchase this house, as we don’t plan on living on Nicoya long term. I am unsure of the square footage as that is not important to me. I am being inundated with messages and questions, so I won’t be able to see or answer them all. Thank you for understanding.
I love this episode; it was focused more on the non-financial side, I think. And I teared a little to hear about her sister who passed and she couldn't go be with her for the last time. So sad esp since her sister was with her during her cancer journey. Am so happy you're cancer-free and I hope your lovely family will continue to thrive in that beautiful place. 🌞
Thank you so much!
The fact that her body and health improved away from the US is evidence that life sucks here. Whether it's the food or environment, this country keeps us all sick.
Yes, it's also a mindset thing. People consume junk content online all day and watching Tv. They don't consume anything inspirational or beautiful or appreciate art. That keeps people equally unhealthy. Junk in, junk out.

Especially mentally
It does and I cant even put a finger on it, I lived in Hawaii for 10 years, NYC prior to that. I know live in Turkey with my two teenagers and I was never happier. Life is very simple here and the people are so nice.
It's done on purpose, everything is a money grab. Ge out as soon as possible.
The medical field is a business
I migrated to the US but rn I’m building my house back home. This country ain’t it outside of providing good work opportunities.
They rent a three bedroom for 628 a month including utilities. Where I live here in Florida it's impossible to find something that cheap lol. Kudos to them for making their move and wish them many more years of happiness
Yes, but they are spending $1200 month on groceries. Food in CR is very expensive unless you eat rice and beans everyday. $1200 a month in groceries in Florida would feed a family of 10 people. Their rent went down but their grocery bill likely doubled. $3000 a month in a lousy town in Costa Rica is not that great.
@@Originalman144 Yeah you can feed 10 even more but eating a lot of trash, in Costa Rica only trash food is expensive and for what i saw they eat out a lot and that is expensive too.
What timing! Was just talking to my wife about moving back to Costa Rica. Such a wonderful country!
I think it would be a great opportunity for you both. I say GO FOR IT!!!
My daughter went to Costa Rica last year and loved it!!! This video has convinced me that this is the place to retire " comfortably." Are you with me daughter dear???
CR is not cheap. I just spent 1-month there and spent probably $600 on groceries. Everything was pricey and imported in the local supermarket. It's getting expensive for locals as well and that's when crime goes up. Guess who will the locals blame and target when prices get too high?
@@Originalman144 thanks for the info. I had better check it out for myself.
@@cjsansoo7I am originally from Costa Rica and what the comment above said is true, thanks to American gentrifiers among other political problems, the country is becoming very dangerous... And this is just beginning.
I'm seeing more and more black ppl moving out the states! I am inspired!
I know I'm leaving, I had enough of the U.S. 👍
Chile me too👊🏿☝🏾👏🏾👏🏾👊🏿✊🏽
There's is soooo much to unpack here. Especially that direct connection between cancer, mindset and lifestyle. DEEP. Much love to this family!!❤
The healthcare in the US can cripple you financially, it’s insane how much it costs. Even with the massively overpriced insurance you still pay so much out of pocket
SO true. I'm afriad to go to the doctor's office.
I was in Costa Rica in late 2022 , and the energy from the people there were so positive. The nicest people I've come accross thus far. I love Costa Rican people! And I didn't feel discriminated against cause I was a black man.
This is so amazing!!! Chemo killed my oldest son after just one round! 3/11/2023. From a cancer I was told. That was completely ans easily curable! So glad she listened to her body and stopped and moved to a better place for her physical and mental health
❤❤😢
I'm so sorry. Chemo is to be avoided at all cost. Natural healing is the way.
My condolences for your loss 💐
Chemo kills not the cancer. 😢
I am sorry for the loss of your son 😔
I’m happy to see them thriving and happy! It’s wonderful that they took a risk and feel welcomed, valued, and accepted in their new community 😊
I visited Costa Rica last year, and omg Costa Ricans are so FRIENDLY, I never felt hostile/hateful energy from anyone there. I never visited a country where NO ONE was rude. I loved it, hopefully I'll visit again soon.
I thank GOD that you're Cancer free/you've found a place where you can thrive.
I am a native of Austin TX. The stress of keeping up with inflation is very stressful. My husband and I have discussed moving to another country. My husband is a retired county worker and a Veteran but still has to work to keep up with inflation and I work Krazy OT. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I once lived in Austin but in Dallas now. I can totally agree.
This is the definition of a power couple and true love. What a sweet family.
I visited Costa Rica a few years ago and the people treated me like I was a movie star. I'm stuck in Houston for now because immigration is backlogged. I can't wait to escape this place because I now have anxiety and I never had this before...😢😢
No they just are normal kind people whereas americans are mean and unfriendly, that why u felt normal ppl treating u like movie star, you never knew what it was like to talk to normal healthy ppl

It’s great that you guys choose our country for living and that you now have no cancer. Good luck in our country, best wishes for you both. Pura vida!
Omg! Congratulations on kicking Cancer’s butt! I was at a work event last night and Costa Rica came up heavily as a place to live that was black friendly. Synchronicity!❤
Had a coworker move here during the Pandemic too.
I have visted Costa Rica, and would 100% move there.
Im not a naturopathic person, and would never move for that reason, but Costa Rica has amazing food, people, life, things to do, and its close to a lot of other amazing countries.
I'm leaving the U.S. in May. Looking forward to it.
this couple really stuck it out together through a lot of trials and tribulations, bless
They are living my dream! We are split between Costa Rica, El Salvador, & Belize. I thought Costa Rica was more expensive I’ll have to check out the area they were in.
It is I am a Costarican and yes it is more expensive than those 2 countries
It is more expensive but it is possible to not spend a fortune. I think there is something for everyone.
It's is more expensive, but if you have around 2,000 it will be enough. If you can get accustomed to living like a local, you might not even need that much.
Haven’t been to Costa Rica but have been to both El Salvador and Belize. Both are beautiful, locals are friendly, and it is extremely easy to busy whatever you want in either country.
So this area where they live (Nicoya) in Guanacaste province is not as expensive as it is a coastal province but not exactly on the beach, is a small city and they seem to be living on the outskirts of it which is why renting a house for $600 a month is sooooo normal (I live somewhere similar on a different part so yeah)
What an amazing testimony!!
My childhood friend and I are planning to move to CR.
I retired last year and she retires this year.
We visited CR 2x last year. We stayed 25 days the first time & 2 weeks the second time.
I live in NYC, the concrete jungle. I need the CR jungle loaded with nature.😊
Beautiful beaches with natural pools! Fresh food & fruits!!
Flip flops and sarongs every day!!
I've been saying I'll retire to Costa Rica for 7 years now. I might move sooner. I truly believe living in the Blue Zone cured her. ❤🎉
You americans always coming to my country giving nothing but problems and a migrant crisis, BUILD THE WALL
Can you elaborate on what the “blue zone” is?
Her mindset and her believing and her faith healed her. People get cured in other places too.
No more gringo bums please
A beautiful couple with beautiful children, living a beautiful life. Thank you for sharing your story❤
I hope this Beautiful Family is enjoying their new Home and Life in Costa Rica. Such a beautiful Central American nation.
I saw them on the Tamaron Hall Show. This is so inspiring 😍 Congratulations on being cancer free. Many more blessings to you and your family 💐🤗
I spent a month volunteering at a sea turtle conservation in Costa Rica in 2006 and it was the most incredible experience. Don’t go down there expecting all the American conveniences though. It’s a much simpler way of life. Many Americans think they want that, but then they get there and aren’t into it long term. Just something to keep in mind.
I left the U.S. 2 1/2 years ago and I have not looked back! I was supposed to go to Thailand first but couldn't because of covid, so I went to Mexico first with the intention of only staying for like 6 months until Thailand eased their restrictions. Well I;m still here but on my way to Thailand soon. Don't believe it when they tell you that the U.S. is THE best place to be. It's not. It doesn't mean that I hate the U.S. I don't. I was born and raised there as was my entire family, BUT....I will say that the people of Mexico have been very kind to me and I feel like a human being first instead of having a label placed on my skin color first. Mexico is part of my future and I'm pretty sure Thailand will be too. Sad to say, but the only time that I will go back to the U.S. is to visit friends and family, but never to live. (unless through some tragic and twisted fate, I'm FORCED to..lol). I feel happier and safer outside of the U.S.!
Did you make it to Thailand… I love it! I also enjoy being in Mexico a lot.
As a soon retiree, keeping my 401k on course is my top priority. I have been reading of investors making up to 250k ROI in this current crashing market, any recommendations to scale up my ROI before retirement will be highly appreciated.

To achieve the "American Dream" takes a lot more out of us while seemingly less and less achievable. The rat race is making us collectively stressed and unhealthy. Plus we have the issues of astronomical healthcare, housing, and childcare, along with gun violence. As a mother of 2, it's in the back of my mind every time my children and I leave the house. That wouldn't be an issue in a place like Costa Rica. I commend them for taking the leap. My family and I aim to do the same around 2027, when my kids are a bit older.
After traveling to Costa Rica...i am seriously considering retiring there.
Wow! This makes me think, I am a 8 year cancer survivor and love the idea of clean air, the food etc. thanks for sharing!

Very beautiful story. I'm friends with Kems's mom and she is so proud of her daughter and the family. I love their life and love how they turned a challenge into a triumph.

Glad you found your peace, health, & happiness.
I was down there for vacation in 1996
A beautiful and friendly Country.
When it was time to fly home, I didn't want to leave Costa Rica.
The highlight of our trip was visiting Mount Arenal volcano.
Watching the volcano erupting all night. I'll never forget it.
I could easily go back and live in Costa Rica.
The only thing that I didn't like was the smell of mold on their paper currency due to the high humidity
down there.

Congrats on being in remission. That's a huge blessing.
Everywhere will be cheaper/better if you have more money. The US is a great country (I am an immigrant) for making money. I was not making 6 figures but saved 54% of my salary which allowed me the freedom to do whatever I wanted, including quitting a job I did not like. I live alone, can go on vacation if I wish.
The key is to live on a budget and live within your means. Most Americans are so obsessed with buying things/having lots of money. It's not how much you make but what you do with what you make.
Costa Ricans would argue life is better in the US.
This is the truth right here.
Smart comment, I am also an immigrant. The US is dirt chest compared to how much one makes. So easy to save on a 5000$ salary vs 1000$ salary abroad even if cost of living is a bit cheaper abroad.
A family of 4 is vastly different from 1 person. This is our experience, I am glad it is working out for you though. That is what matters most, is that your life and lifestyle works for you!!
"It's not what you make but what you do with what you make"
That's the thing. For them, Costa Rica is cheaper and better than the United States AND they're a family of 4! They're living in comparative ease on what would be considered lower income in the US and not struggling financially over their housing and medical needs.
We are also a family of 4 and this video further affirms our decision to leave the US in a few years. I'm personally so over the rat race and want a less stressful, more peaceful life. We are saving now to make it a reality.
I can't adequately express how much I loved this segment.... It's beautiful! I'm so happy for this family. It's shameful that the US, with, all its resources, potential and amazing people, won't create a better quality of life for citizens. Profit is king at the expense of all else.
What a wonderful family, so resilient and willing to do whatever it takes for health and happiness - kudos! And so wonderful to see your healing journey! ❤
Wow so nice to hear from this family. I would love to live in or at least visit Costa Rica someday. Even though i didn’t visit it ik it’s a beautiful country. Bless this family.🇨🇷❤️

I'm just crying all throughout your story. I totally relate, and I can feel in my bones that I'm on my way out of the Country too. Thank you for sharing so much and for inspiring me and others.
You cannot legally work in CR until you obtain residency or you start a business at $150k investment. . Getting a work visa requires proving your job cannot be done by a Costa Rican. A wellness coach is not one of those jobs. They obtained residency only in 2022. Did they not work for 9 years? Or did they get a permit by starting his business for $150K. All the prettty camerawork and the story is nice but details would be good too. I am happy for them and it’s wonderful she is cancer free. CR is a wonderful place and we too have considered it. Just not quite as simple as this paints it
Our work is US based. AND we are permanent residents so we can legally work here if we chose to. Also, we have only been here for 6 years.
What a beautiful story of God opening up new doors when you feel like everything is going wrong. Imagine loosing your home and going through cancer - feeling like your life is falling apart - and then ending up living an amazing life in Costa Rica. Love this story.
More Americans are taking risk to leave the US.
I'd say the real risk is cutting their life short for the "fear of losing" something they might not even have in the first place 🤫 Perception is everything...
@@kittymogulco Last sentence is on point. Healthcare and cost of living, sure. But if you don't fix yourself and your personal problems when you're here the problems won't just magically go away in another country.

Thank you for sharing. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm currently in aftercare for breast cancer, and to hear that you had a child 14 months after lets me know there's still hope.
Costa Rica is having a ton of safety issues from the drugs so be careful. Also Costa Rica import taxes are crazy so if you appreciate any material purchases here and there get ready to pay a heavy extra (+40%) compared to the US on anything that isn’t made locally
If you're going to make the change, the materislistic mentality has to change too. I'm from the US and married a tico and lived in CR for over 30 yrs. CR produces and offers everything folks need to live comfortably. I'm back in the US because DH wanted to spend a few yrs of his professional career before retiring early. We have no desire to remain here...5 more yrs tops and we're out. We have no debt and live with just the basics to save $$$ and be gone
