Moving to Costa Rica was the best decision we ever made, but if I could have gotten advice from someone who lives here...it would have made our move easier!
So, today, I am giving you the advice I would give myself if I could go back in time and talk to my younger self.
In Nov 2013, we were searching for the best place to live in Costa Rica...and we didn't have plans on going back to the states. We sold everything, so we plan on retiring in Costa Rica.

I studied in Costa Rica for a month to finish up my undergrad degree & stayed in Puerto Viejo for a weekend excursion & was warned about drugs but I had the exact opposite experience. Never once did someone offer me drugs, nor did I witness anyone selling drugs, & never witnessed any type of criminal activity. The people were very friendly & not once did I feel unsafe.
You are right about the people being very friendly. I think Puerto Viejo is fun and beautiful but since there are a lot of tourist, there are those individuals looking to prey on unsuspecting people. We lived there for almost a year and were out in town for supper and walks almost every weekend...lots of exposure.
@@nomadic3574 We were talking about the Caribbean side when we were talking about drugs. Thanks for your input.
People attract what they fear!
Stay there a year and you'll see bad too. It's not all rosy!
The drugs on the side where the Gringos go
I'm very sad because I came to see Costa Rica, I liked it and I wanted to stay here. But I didn't find help and I'm leaving. There was talk about a lawyer here but I couldn't get any contact from her. Even though I know I could stay here and I already know a lot and liked the people and everything I saw, I'm going to say goodbye to Costa Rica with great sadness!
That is sad. It is so easy to get the help you need on this channel and there are several ways to do that.
If you are serious about living in Costa Rica and want to save a TON of money and get all the Contacts you will EVER need...then the Relocation Retreat is best!

I am so happy I stumbled across your channel!! I plan to spend a few months in Costa Rica and it has been pretty intimidating, especially traveling with a child. This video gave me so much insight and I look forward to watching your other videos.

Recently retired from the US military and considering Costa Rica as a secondary or primary home. Visited there once seven years ago and loved it. Thank you for your videos.
My pleasure...Enjoy!
Super helpful for anyone with a retirement plan looking at Costa Rica! The dos and don'ts are exactly what I needed
Glad it was helpful!
Great overview! The Estuarios area or the lower Nokoya area sounds like they would be a good fit for us. We love being near the beach.
You've got a very impressive SEO and tags game btw!
Glad you enjoyed the video....and Thanks, THE SEO game is the best way to reach more and more people!
THANK YOU! I’ve been watching all your videos !! Considering making a home with my family there!!

Living in Costa Rica & Facts about Costa Rica I’m a native Floridian... so that comes with a certain set of skills that look very useful in this part of the world.
@@iamheck2830 That's great
@@paulzorabedian8258 Always best to rent before you buy so you learn the area.
Thank you for the information, right now I'm only 17 but I hope to live there one day!
Now is a good time to start planning & start saving so you can enjoy the life you want to live.
Just found your channel and love it, so informative! My boyfriend and I have been looking into teaching English in Costa Rica as our next country but can’t decide on a location. I would love a beach town that’s quite remote, but not more than an hour or so away from a bigger town, but not sure if that’s at all possible as I can imagine the gorgeous beaches are not hidden gems as much anymore 🤣 we’re keeping updated with your videos so thanks very much!
Glad it was helpful! We hope you find the PERFECT spot and hope we can continue to help you.

Good information . I live in San Vito and its everything you said -old world excellent!!! I didnt know about the big circle of the tourist zone from San Jose to Guanacaste but that makes sense . I've read that 80% of the population lives in the greater San Jose area. No wonder the traffic is terrific.
Thanks for your input and sharing. WE miss San Vito....a great place. Enjoy

Okay. I've been to Costa Rica twice before but it has been about eight to ten years since I have been back. I'm retired and live in the United States. My wife and I have been entertaining the idea of relocating there permanently and I believe the time has come. She's sending me down on a reconnaissance mission. She has only been there one time and that was with me for a very tourist like trip. Resort based in other words. I have seen many Costa Rica videos before, but this is the first one that came up and that I chose to watch in my new earnest search for the home. Thank you for doing such a great job and having so much information concisely packed in a short span of time. I will move on to the other videos.
We are so glad you enjoy the videos.

Sean Bienvenidos,Saludos desde san Ramón de Alajuela Costa Rica.
Great advice. My husband and I love the Pacific side. We are thinking about moving there. The next time we come there we can visit some of these places you too have been before we make that choice
Please do! That would be smart on your part....
Hope you can join us for the RUclips LIVE tomorrow.... Sunday 2 PM EST.
You ask the Questions...we'll give you the answers.
I love living in Puriscal. Very nice town with majestic views of the Country and very friendly citizens.
Thanks for sharing...
That's very good advice. Please check Oreamuno and Turrialba in Cartago. This area is also very nice. Carrizal in Alajuela is also very nice area too.
Thanks for the tips!
I"m going through your back list of videos and came across this one... and you know what? I've seen this one before! I watched it soon after you released it, when Michel and I were still in Morocco. And it stuck with me. I've talked about it periodically since, about all the information you offered. Now that we've lived in Costa Rica for almost a year, I have to say that you were spot on with all of this. We are hoping against hope that CR will ditch those mandates so we can stay in the country and enjoy all of this diversity.
I'm glad you have found our channel. We hope you enjoy it and we too, hope they will revert back. I do think this will pass and we will all be able to enjoy CR again.
Tinamaste has a lot of rain. It is very cloudy for most of the year. Lots of humidity, which means you will have to deal with mold. Some may like it, but if you shopping for a property in dry season (December to April) you need to know, that this area looks totally different during the rest of the year.
Thanks for the input...
I discovered u folks yesterday...awsome channel.....I date a girl who lives about 10 minutes from the airport in alejuela....I've been going back and forth for the last 5 years.....I love it down there
So glad you found us Tim. And....thanks for your kind words. Let us know if we can help you with anything. Sounds like you need to move to CR so you can take care of that girl you are dating. YEAH :>)
That is my plan....I'm 58 and work for American airlines in dallas so it's a 4 hour flight and see her once a month so it's like my second home until I can retire......pura vida....have an imperial silver for me🍻
@@timobrien698 You bet....I will. Sounds like you have a great plan. Wishing you the best. At least your flights are free since you work for AA. Good for you!
Thank you for sharing and the good information.
You did not talk about Limo'n much or give much information other than it being a port town. Can you please give some insight on the city? Thank you!
Grateful,
Go to the Best Places to Live playlist. We did a detailed video of all five places.
You may have to do your own research like me there
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. We have lived in Brazil and have traveled to Costa Rica a few times already. We LOVE it and want to retire there in about 8 years. In the meantime, we are visiting, asking questions and learning. We would like to live near the beach but not in a touristy town. We speak Spanish and want to experience the true culture as much as possible while still having access to necessities.
I would recommend going south of Jaco. That would be Esterillos. In my opinion, the most beautiful beach in CR and a place that is NOT full of tourist. Safe and you can get decent internet.
Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll note it for our next trip. Pura vida! 😁🦜🌴

Super fun and informative channel! My husband and I have visited Costa Rica for the past 5 yrs staying for 1 month at a time . We absolutely LOVE the lower Caribbean, specifically from Playa Chiquita down to Manzanillo . We have definitely felt very safe. I think any town that is bigger and hass a party night life will be risky to live in. Can't wait to get back! Thanks for making these videos, i'm hooked.
Thanks Serena! So glad you enjoy the channel. Please share it with everyone you know.

Looking for a quick getaway should it be required. Small apartment in a safe small city near international school and hospital. Want to live close to things to walk to. Not out in the mountains or some far out place. Near ish to San Jose airport. Don't want a car. Thoughts? JB

Genuine question... did the Crack Train move on from Cahuita? I Was there for a while 12 years ago and when the drugs rolled into town it was very sketchy!
From what I understand the TRAIN no longer operates. However, the drugs in my opinion were still BAD. Every TIME we went to eat, someone or SEVERAL people were trying to sell me drugs.
thanks for your really cool video.
soon I should finally retire and I am considering moving with my family from Italy to Costa Rica.
I state that I have not yet visited the CR but with the hope that this covid will pass in order to come and make a first visit.
I would like to ask you if it is better as a hospital tourist facility to opt for guanacaste or for puntarenas
thank Roberto
Roberto, I really have no idea about the hospital tourist facilities. There is a lot on the internet about Medical Tourism in CR but we have no actual experience with it. If I had to make a choice for myself simply on what I have seen and heard without any other information, I would choose somewhere in or near San Jose. You could ask the question in our forum and another member may have experience or insight on this. It's free to join at forum.cloudforestchapel.com.
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica thank verry much for your information ciao from italy
@@bob-jb8eh There are some good private hospitals up in the northwest, close to Liberia Airport, if nearby healthcare is a must for you, looking for some place close to Liberia could work perfectly. Even so, Costa Rica is cover with public hospitals in mayor towns and regional basic clinics in each town, so depending on your needs, one of those could work for you.
We live in Platanillo and love it here!
That's awesome to hear! That's a great place and close to the beach! Yeah
Very nice and professional video. We have been to all the areas you mentioned and found Tinamaste to be our favorite. An area we are looking into on our next trip is the OSA Mountain area above ciudad Cortes. Any advice or info on that area?
Awesome! Thank you! I have driven through some of the Osa Mountain area....IT IS VERY under-developed, but some great views in some of those place. In my opinion, you would be able to get real estate there at a good price. But...I don't have much info on that area. Like you....we really like the Tinamaste area. It is a favorite for many people.
Im in the mountains of tilaran you two do a very good presentation together
Its chilled and laid back you
Know Půra Vida style. Just to let you know i opět coming back to your videos as the other ones were actually annoying. And tool away from the beauty of the
Magnificense of Costa Rica.
@@spaceace9606 Thanks...we're really glad you enjoy our videos. Please share our channel.
I found going to Panama interesting, did you go there often to purchase goods and services? Any drawbacks to that?
YES....I like going to the border to buy...can get things at a good discount. Only drawback is making sure you keep your vehicle on the Costa Rica side...easy for them to impound your vehicle if you are on the wrong side.
Hello there. We are a young family coming from a Canada, and work remotely.. What areas would you recommend for a someone who doesn’t like the party scene , and is eventually looking for a good school/ fun activities to do with the kids? Eventually down the road, we would love to live in a homestead. So far I’ve been recommended Ojochal/ Uvita and Puerto Viejo. Thank you kindly 👍😁
I'm sorry to say...you've been given some bad info...
From what you are telling me...young family, (possibly children), no party scene, then Puerto Viejo...that is a drug-ridden party town. Don't go there.
Ojochal...not bad, but not developed and no easy access to shopping for a young family. Uvita, not bad...more developed...but still not what a young family needs.
I highly suggest going anywhere in the Perez Zeldon area...near San Isidro. You will get everything you need, not touristy, so no high prices... You can find good schools and even an English speaking school which is far better than any public Tico school. Fun activities will be a challenge ANYWHERE in Costa Rica as they don't build anything for kids. But, if you get them involved in nature, hiking, trails, waterfalls...then you are golden.
Sounds like you would benefit from getting direct access to me and a great group of people who are already here and can answer all the questions you may have.
Consider joining our members only community...You'll have direct access to me and you get to meet other people like you who are coming or are already in Costa Rica and LOTS of good information I can't share on RUclips.

I have a villa in Playa Hermosa/Guanacaste and feel fortunate to find my slice of paradise. The people and the scenery are out of this world. I just purchased a small farm in Sardinal so I can build a farm and check out. Sadly, we have lost the USA to the looters. I will gladly give my allegiance to CR.
Good for you Chris....I completely understand. It is very sad how the USA is being taken away by the corrupt and evil in the world.
We’re in Coco and feel the same as you. I’ve thought about purchasing a small farm too - haven’t done that yet because we’re still part time - but it’s a dream of mine.
Great video and information. I have been to Samara and Tamarindo which is mainly a tourist town. I'm interested in knowing how long did you live in those 5 places before deciding to move to the next area?
We lived in a lot of places....if you tell me which 5 places, I can give you the info you need.
but for most of the places we lived....it was usually 6 months to 2 years.....depending on where we were.
Thanks much appreciated. I suppose it really depends on the area where you are staying.
@@Robert-tp9vy Yes....we've moved a LOT....really to discover the Pros and Cons. We want to buy our own place and put down roots...but nothing is worse than buying a place and 6 months later, learning you don't really like it in that place, now that the HONEYMOON phase is over. Now that we've been to ALMOST every area in Costa Rica....we feel pretty confident on where is OUR FAVORITE PLACE.
Congratulations! and how long did that all took to find your favorite place?
@@Robert-tp9vy We actually found our favorite place in the first month we were in Costa Rica....HOWEVER, we didn't KNOW it was our favorite place until about 5 years later after traveling almost everywhere in Costa Rica. But after 5 years of traveling...we NOW know, without a doubt, what we like.
Great video, thanks.
I’m a late 40’s guy from Canada who wants to spend 2-3 months in Costa for the first time. Not looking for party scene - more of a safer, cheaper area where it’s still possible to mingle and be semi social but focus more on hikes/ beaches etc. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance….
Dude! You are describing San Isidro, middle of Costa Rica! It has CR highest point, Mount Chirripo, Tom of trails and hiking areas. You can still meet and socialize, but brush up on your Spanish!
Thanks so much for all the work you are doing with these very informative videos! I lived in Central America, that is, in Honduras in between 2000 and 2003. Circumstances forced me to move back to Germany where I am from. But my heart refused to move along with my body. So right now and as our gov's behavior has become more and more strange especially through the last year I am eager to find my way back to either Central or South America. I would not want to move back to Honduras though since the situation there is even more hopeless than when I left 16 years ago. So I am looking into the options I might have. I am a registered medical nurse over here and maybe for me it would be possible to make a living as such in the medical field. Yet I don't know about the income I could expect or if I even would be allowed to work as such. God has a way, that's for sure.
Hey Frank...so glad you are enjoying the videos. YES...I think a lot of people are seriously looking into coming to Costa Rica for many reason...like gov't issues.
As for work...it MIGHT be possible for you to work in CR...but it is very difficult because CR does NOT want foreigners to take jobs away from the Local Ticos. But If you are specialized or are in an area where they need YOU ...it could be possible. The income will NOT be nearly what you might be used to, however, you don't need much to live in CR.
Enjoy.
@@mikerivas9091 I'd like to hear your opinion about the Nicaragua gov't. I don't think it is stable and I think it's dangerous there...but I don't have boots on the ground there. From what I hear and see...many Nicaragua people are fleeing their own country and going to Costa Rcia. WHY is that? Many of them come to CR illegally.
@@mikerivas9091 WOW>....thanks for that detailed bit of information. Worth checking out.

Can you give us any ideas how the internet is in the areas you visit? If one was a digital nomad, would they find the internet was sufficient?
Internet is getting better....but still TOO MANY places where the internet is not that great. BUT NOW that you can get STARLINK...it it affordable and too easy too set up. Highly suggest you get starlink when you are here.

Hi, the PDF mailing system does not work anymore.
Thank you for showing all your experiences.
As for downloading the PDF...
Sometimes an error page shows up after you have entered your email address.
I'm don't know why this happens sometimes.
HOWEVER, please check your email. The PDF was sent. Check your spam or junk folder if you don't see it in your email inbox.
Please consider giving info on the average cost of housing. Owning/renting. Is it average, higher than average, more affordable etc.
YES. Planning on that real soon...if you don't see that vid soon, remind me.
I was thinking of staying in Manuel Antonio for maybe 2 months. I’m 25 and will be on my own so wouldn’t mind a lil party scene. What’re your thoughts ?
Not a bad place.....if you want a party scene...Jaco is the place, but you are not too far from Jaco if you stay at Manuel Antonio.
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica thank you !
I love la fortuna or Lake Arenal. Can you tell me about that area.
Yes..those areas are beautiful, but also very touristy. We plan to go visit that area and do some videos on that in the future.
Thank you so much for the video! Quick question: if you were 23 and wanted to live a simple life by the beach for 3-6 months, where would you set up camp? Thanks again! 😊
That's easy...but first, I don't want assume, so are you male, female and would you bring enough money to enjoy, survive or would you plan on trying to earn a little money while here. Just a bit more info and I can give you some accurate info on where I would stay if I were in your shoes. Hope that's good.
Living in Costa Rica & Facts about Costa Rica of course, thanks so much for getting back to me already! So there will be a mix, 2 girls and 1 guy. We have a bit saved up, probably enough to last us 3 months but if we wanted to stay longer we would ideally be able to pick up some work, maybe teaching English or in hospitality! What do you think? Looking forward to hearing your suggestions 😊
@@raymonaoconnell8180 Great...now that I know...here are my suggestions. If I were y'all, with the given info, I would stay at Esterillos...VERY PEACEFUL, very safe, no drama and you can get everything you need. But really no party scene. If you want a little party action, go north a bit to Playa Hermosa. Waters are perfect for surfing, more of a party environment and it could be possible to pick up a little waitress-type work or another type of work because of the many BnBs and Restaurants. IMPORTANT: It is illegal for you to work as a tourist and if you are caught you could get deported and NOT allowed back in the country for 10 years. The only thing you could legally do is work online, or prostitution. (I am NOT suggesting Prostitution...just saying. I don't judge.)
Another option, because you have a GUY with you...(saying you feel safe and that he could or would protect you) Jaco beach, but it's full of prostitution, big-time party, NOT peaceful...so just FYI.
A better option is on Nicoya Pennisula. which is not very touristy and not too developed, is Samara beach. kinda similar to Hermosa Beach, with lots of monkeys on the beach there.
Hopefully, that helps..and I hope I haven't offended you. Just giving you facts.
Living in Costa Rica & Facts about Costa Rica wow thank you SO much for the extensive response! I really appreciate your help. Muchas gracias I should say! Take care!
@@raymonaoconnell8180 Our pleasure.
Are there any thermal springs for swimming ? Any interesting caves ? What is it like to go to the doctor or the dentist ? How often is there a major storm ? Is there a rainy season ? Where are the coldest places ( if any ?? )

Besides Tamarindo, where else do you recommend for amazing uncrowded surf?
In Costa Rica...you can find a LOT of beaches to surf on where you are literally alone. A lot depends on your skill level, but when I was learning to surf, I was living on Esterillos. Hardly anyone there, but they have a surf competition every year there. But, I don't surf much and I am not near the beach anymore.

@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica Thanks for the response. I travelled to CR in my 20's to surf and used to live in Hawaii. So I am capable of surfing anywhere in CR, but prefer fewer crowds. My wife and I want to move there in 10 years when our kids are graduated from high school. Thanks again for your videos. A lot of fun to watch.
We're into yoga. Do you know the areas where the yoga retreats are located? Thanks.
I don't know of any personally...while we like Yoga and do a little at home, we don't know much about it as we are new to trying out yoga. However, I do know there are a LOT of YOGA places near the beach. A few in the mountains, but most that I see are near the beach or in HIGH end resorts.
As I come across Yoga places...I'll start posting them in the forum. You should join so that you can help out and find out more great info about the many different things about Costa Rica.

Okay was it possible to “Stamp Out” during COVID? Also I see a lot of Real Estate for sale now. Is it a good time to buy or is there a reason everyone is selling to get out?
Great Questions, Appalachian--- Nobody is required to "Stamp Out" during COVID. At the moment, (Unless things change again) Costa Rica will open its doors to everyone Nov 01st. And that event will reset the CLOCK for everyone currently in Costa Rica who have NOT "Stamped Out" during COVID. Meaning...everyone who has been granted a 90 day stay will need to "Stamp Out" by March 2nd, 2021. Check out this article: news.co.cr/complete-breakdown-on-current-aspects-of-travel-and-residency-information-for-costa-rica/82442/
AND YES....it is a GREAT time to buy! While I can NOT prove my opinion...what I think is....many places are for sale because many have chosen to go home during this COVID crises. There were already a LOT of places for sale prior to COVID...from my opinion, many people came here in 1999, and now 20 years later are at the last stages of their life and want to go back to their home to live the last couple years with family. These two events...have caused a huge supply in real estate and prices are falling like a rock!
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica thanks. We vacationed in Uvita our only time in CR and loved the wildness of it but a purchase for us at this stage is not for full time living as I still work. I’m not sure Uvita is a good place to rent something out but we loved it there. We had lan on coming back down in January to check out other areas so I found your video informative. The place we rented is for sale and just about everything that was on Airbnb when we were there is now for sale so it’s given us some pause on if the situation there is causing people to flee or if they are just getting old as you suggest.
@@AppalachianHistoryDetectives I fully understand your concern. I truly don't think anyone is fleeing CR... What I have learned in the last few months of creating this new RUclips Channel... I'm SHOCKED, but NOT surprised as to HOW MANY people want to FLEE the United States. I can't say I blame them. I've never seen it so bad with the riots, and the state of craziness??? I still don't understand it, but how can I since I don't live there. BUT, I can say, If I did live there, I'd be fleeing to Costa Rica too.
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica well it definitely crosses our mind. If I didn’t have to work, we would have left already....
I tried to download the PDF of 5 best places to live…..it didn’t work. Would love to have this information. Can you assist?
Give me a day or two...I'll fix this issue and you'll be able to go download it. Having a little issue with a hacker who tried to get into my site. Some people can cause others headaches.
We are thinking to move to but want to be self sustained by the land for example farming crops and live stock so what is your recommendations please
Sounds like you want to do what I am in the process of doing. So it all depends on how convenient you want be to town or how remote you want to be.
I am very remote for specific reasons...which makes what I am doing much more difficult.
But to do what you want and make it much easier...(nothing is EASY in Costa Rica) then look for anything in the Perez Zeledon area....within 30 minutes of San Isidro. This way, you have access to a Walmart (although I hate Walmart, I love it for Costa Rica, without it, almost impossible to find basic things). But being near San Isidro makes it easier to find what you need to become sustainable.
If you are serious about what you want to do...I highly suggest connecting with me in the Members ONLY Area.
I don't get to see all the comments on YT, but in the member's area...there is so much you can learn and so easy to connect with me there and we can help each other out.

Good day to all iam a South African Indian moving to Costa Rica Escazu and also single love to meet and make new friends and friendship iam a male I love that country can't wait for 1st week in November
@@krishnaidoo7444 Congrats on your decision to go to CR....Excited for you!
Look at the Los Santos area. It’s where I live.
What do you think about moving there WITH a cat and a dog ? You guys say you moved around a lot in the 5 regions, did you do so with pets until you found a suitable home? I have seen dogs in your videos, but maybe you adopted there...
You can easily get around with a cat and a dog. We came over with a dog....not difficult, but you do have rules to follow, making sure they have all their shots. The cat we adopted when we were here...but she had kittens and we traveled a lot of places with a dog and cats.
CR is very dog-friendly....MOST Ticos do not like cats....and only have them around to keep the rodents and snakes away. Most Ticos only keep dogs for cheap alarm systems...so you have to get used to seeing dogs on a 3 foot chain. I find most Ticos don't appreciate animals the way most Americans do.
Samara and Nicoya is so nice to live.
Thanks Benno... glad you enjoyed it. Let us know if we can answer any questions or create a video about something you are interested in.
Thanks for the video! You got yourself a new subscriber! I'm looking to relocate to Costa Rica at the beginning of May. I'm an online working professional who needs good reliable internet to making money. I would like to rent a 1 bedroom place on the smaller/cheaper side to keep expenses low. Could you tell me the best way to find rental properties in Costa Rica? I also would like to live in a safe area and be close by to a good hospital in case something were to happen to me. If you could give me some suggestions on the best places that would fit exactly what I'm looking for, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The internet is a challenge in some areas...Mostly Rural areas. However, they are installing Fiber Optic and it is getting better, but it takes time to install Fiber Optic everywhere, and we have no idea....where they will install Fiber Optic. But, in the cities or NEAR the cities, internet is much better. Any place where there are a lot of tourist, internet is better. We work ONLINE so it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that we have internet, however, I refuse to live near the city! So, I end up paying a lot more than most to enjoy the privilege of having decent internet away from the city.
Oh also Darren, I forgot to say...from what the info you gave me...I think starting in the Perez Zeledon area near San Isidro would be a great place for you to start.
You could get decent internet near town, they have plenty of hospitals and you can find lots of rentals. Like I said in the first reply, inside the forum is a FREE PDF fo access the Real Estate Websites we often use.
@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica Thanks a lot! I plan to fly out on May 3rd and will start around San Isidro! Do you know if they have Uber or Grab or similar service in San lsidro? Would you suggest starting with an airbnb for the first night or 2? Thanks
@@DJ33970 I don't think they have an Uber service in San Isidro, but you could check. I know it is popular in San Jose...and I see the Uber EATS... but I haven't tried to see if you can get an UBER in San Isidro. Maybe they do???
Yes, I would suggest starting with an airbnb....and then you can find some longer-term rentals depending on how long you are here. Walking around....or hanging out at the Farmer's Market...you'll find something fairly quick.
thanks troy mculure
You are welcome....thanks for watching!
Hi Allen & Rebecca!
I visited C.R. about 8 years ago and absolutely loved it! I stayed very close to San Jose but had a friend there who was my tour guide. She took me everywhere! I currently live near Chicago but I am looking to make a move with a major lifestyle change. What are your thoughts on the way the Covid situation was handled, and continues to be handled? Is it a lock-down situation like many Cities in the US, or do you feel most of your basic freedoms are still being granted?
I would need to get my business going again once I get settled in. I have a had a business for close to 30 years here and 95% of it can be done online via e mail. You mentioned the bank; how do you feel about banking in general? I am sure I would have to move my clients to direct deposit, as I assume mailing paper invoices through our Postal Service as I do now would no longer suffice. Speaking of mail, what are your thoughts on receiving and sending mail such as cards and letters back to the States? I may need a package mailed to me from the States from time to time, so I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the Postal Service there.
Thank you so much, Allen and Rebecca! Perhaps our paths will cross one day!
In my opinion, CR handed the COVID situation better than most countries. They had fewer people get sick and die than most. The lockdown was NOT bad at all and now people come and go almost normally. Everyone wears a mask and washes hands at most places...but it is almost normal like before COVID.
Banking is OK...you can get a bank account in Costa Rica, but it is NOT necessary. I do MOST all my banking from the USA. But I do have a bank here in CR too. It is easy to pay my bills online with a CR bank account.
You can forget mailing anything. It takes TOO LONG. One time my wife mailed an important document and it took over 4 months to get there. I think it got lost. The mail system in CR is terrible.
If you need packages mailed to from the USA...then it is best to us FedEx or UPS. It is expensive, but it will arrive quickly. When I send something from the US to myself in CR...most of the time it takes 30 days and many times my package gets stuck in Customs and then I have to travel 3 or 4 hours to the custom office to get my package. But I have to pay taxes and storage and a lot of headaches.
Hopefully that helps.
In the future, it is best to contact us with questions like this in our forum. That way, everyone can benefit from your question and our answers.

@@OffTheGridHomesteadCostaRica Thanks, guys! Yes, I remember being told how bad the mail system is there. Very hit and miss...mostly miss. I appreciate all the information! Still a lot to ponder!
Costa Rica es una bendición,lo malo es lo caro que es casi todo.
Thank you
maps are great!!!
I agree!
We are retired military with our three teenage grandchildren. We would like to retire there because we could live great. Love the ocean but tsunamis are a concern, so we are thinking the mountains. We like the Estrella area you talked about. We only know English and older so it will take us time to learn the language. Do you believe it would be good for us to move there?
Absolutely...I believe you would love it...of course it is best to come visit for a few months and get a good feel before buying. It is a huge difference from living in the USA. You miss out on a lot of creature comforts. However, depending on what you enjoy in life...it can be an awesome place. We love it!
No need to worry about Tsunamis....I did a bit of research and it confirms what I will tell you. Costa Rica has NEVER had a Tsunami and I don't think you'll ever need to worry about one happening here.
As for the language...we've been here a long time and still barely know the language. We get by and YES, it would make life a bit easier to KNOW the language, but it is NOT necessary. Enjoy

What is it like to ride your motorcycle... more specifically a BMW (higher end) 1200GS? Not seeing any mechanics in the country... are you begging to be have your bike taken away from you (like when I was 5)
Riding a bike is much quicker to get around. Lots of mechanics here, but difficult to find high end bikes here and I don’t recommend having one unless you plan on staying in the city. I would never have brought my Harley here. Too many dirt roads and it’s not just the dirt, these roads are boulders and huge holes. Not a place for high end bikes. Rarely see quality bikes here.
Actually, the 1200GS is the “Adventurer” the one that Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boreman “Long Way Round” so it EATS dirt, rocks,, gravel for lunch and sand for dinner! 😎 but - yes - keeping it service EXPENSIVE! I’ve been thinking of taking a mechanic course just to keep that down...
You missed Peurto Jiménez. Close to Corcovado Rainforest. Now that’s raw!
Yes...it is raw.... A great place too.
Shh it's a secret!

So i guess i can only talk about Manuel Antonio Quepos CR cause it was all i saw Uvita and Jako was very nice. Thx covid.

This video starts at 4:50
Thanks for your input, but the video starts at the beginning...otherwise you miss out on important information.
Personally, I'd rather not have the city or the people. In a remote place by the sea where I could fish on a boat and grow vegetables and fruit on land. That's what I'd be looking for. If it was possible there.
You can easily find remote places with NOT many people in the mountains...but not so much the closer you are to the water....but, you can find places that don't have too many people. Just takes a little longer to look...but you can still find remote places almost everywhere.
Great🇨🇷❤️
