Thank yall for the podcast! I look forward to watching them! Great job!

Great topic and HAPPY THANKSGIVING to yall! We are SO ready to be in Costa Rica! Our house is for sale and once it sells, we are moving down

Happy B-day Jairo

The car scammer is Ross Andrews of Kings Automotive. I can say this as I don't live in Costa Rica - no defamation here.

If someone is willing to pay 6 mo. in advance. Why not run it through an escrow company?

Is "gringo" derogatory?

I like the language of the horn and headlights in Costa Rica as well hazard lights. It's very courteous and helpful. I have adapted the use of the hazard lights driving on the freeway here (LA/So Cal) when the freeway goes from 70 to 0 in seconds. The only issue is if you use your horn or lights someone may get offended and pull out a gun.

Great show. Can you talk about the increase of crocodiles 🐊 sightings in the beaches and towns in a future broadcast?

Jairo keeps it real, and very transparent.

Soda Kathias!

Hola Sarah. As you know 2 1/2 years ago I knew you, from Zoom meetings. I met you briefly the day I arrived, from there I met Agustina and that’s it. I had both of you in my WhatsApp contacts and the Southern Zone Group. Now (after cleaning out the ones I don’t need or use anymore) I have literally 50-60 contacts plus more people I engage with regularly, both expats and Nicaraguans, South Americans I know and meet at various some others I know at community events. I think it’s 50-50 on the Ticos and foreigners I know personally. You need to put yourself out there as you said and there’s so much to do if you just leave your house and comfort zone just a little. It’s not that hard here in CR if you just try. Most of us foreigner are here for the same reason and we’re easy to engage with. Be open minded is good advice, and yes try to learn a little Spanish. I’m pretty busy most of the time and at times I have to decline an invitation if I’m not up to it.

Thats why i call it "Hatebook" LOL

Definitely travel insurance. And Tico helpers! Got me through the hip replacement. amen

Who are the travel insurance companies?

Again, another podcast that hits so many relevant subjects. Being from California (Orange County) the cost of living is eye watering!!!. Not too mention the mass crowds, stressed out people, road rage, lack of community, self absorption in the "me, me, mine" materialist rat race etc. It's absolutely bat crazy! A person commented on having to leave the US because they couldn't afford where they are living.... (8:30). Let me tell you.... that's not far from the truth but many people don't want to realize that. Awesome podcast....

Oh ya..... What Jairo is talking about with the bike lanes is what was called "road diets" in Los Angeles. Some "geniuses" thought by taking away lanes and putting in bike lanes (in the most congested city around), people would bike more. Wrong! No one uses them and it added massive amounts aggravation and pressure to peoples lives. Great podcast!!!!

I would like more information on public transportation in Costa Rica.

Super bueno 👍🏻👏🏻

I love rainy season too! Even as a tourist. Beaches aren’t as crowded, lodging is cheaper, wildlife is more active, everything is lush and green, fruits and flowers are in bloom, and like you, I LOVE the rain! 🌧️☔️ Great podcast topic 🥰🫶🏽

I wondered about storing meat in the freezer when the hydro goes off so often? Do you use a generator then to make sure meat is ok in freezer?

unique information ty!!!

Is that a UPS? (Uninterruptible Power Supply). It protects your devices from power fluctuations.

can you provide a link or more info on the plug-in device Sarah mentioned to keep your internet stable? I would like to purchase, thank you!!

Great insights on what to consider for transportation around Costa Rica.

Congraduations Sarah can you please tell me about your trip to columbia. Im looking to go in august. Im searching for the Best to stay in bogata or caretenĝa

Congrats Sarah!🎉

Congratulations on your up coming nuptials!🎉 The rainy season is the only time I might put on my one pair of black jeans I own, some thin socks and light running shoes if I’m going out. At 18-20’C at night, my feet feel cold because of the 6 months of 24-27’C normal temps. Where I moved from 18-20’C at night would be July temperatures and outdoor party weather. With umbrellas, don’t by the ones that give you minimal coverage, get something that’s a little larger and get a few of them. Leave a light rain jacket and a hat or 2 in your trunk in one of those wet bags. Love the rainy season, mostly.

Nice jacket Sarah!

I was in San José one time for the entire month of September and another time for about 10 days in October and never had a problem with the rain. And these are the rainiest months of the year. If you are driving, you may want to pull off the road until the rain passes. And definitely at night in a rainstorm driving is not recommended How concerned should you be about landslides if you are renting a place on the side of a mountain? My wife and I will be doing that for the next couple weeks.

Congratulations to you both! Very exciting and grateful to hear your stories. Looking forward to more 😎

Congratulations on your new podcast project. It came across very professional. Jairo, my son and I rented a car from you in October 2022. It was a good experience. my wife and I are doing the same on the 15th of this month.

Sarah and Jairo, Good job!! Looking forward to many more podcasts from Team Pura Vida Perspectives !

Jairo su ingles es muy bien. Me gusta sarah mucho. Gracias para introducción de usted.

Jairo, your english is perfect! I'm so excited for this podcast! Way to go Sarah... update on Mike and I, we are planning on driving down in our converted box truck. Wish us luck 😜

OK, I'll be the first to comment. Sarah, I've following you pretty much from the beginning. It's good to see that you took what you are passionate about and made that into a succesful business. Doing what you love is the best way to live life! Jairo, your english is very good and easy to listen to. Also you were wondering, how you 2 were coming across, like being too loud or soft...everything sounded great. Congrats to both of you on your new adventure.

you were just fine.
