chicos les recomiendo una lámpara de mosquitos con luz UV, no se bañen en pomadas jaja...I put it in spanish intentionally for you to practice - peace :D
Jajaja, We have used lamps like that in Canada and yes they do work for Mosquitos, It's the No-see-ums that they do not work for, and they are what gets us with their little razor teeth.gracias por la leccion en español, Pura Vida
This is the best reality TV series
haha thanks, we have patreon set up to help fund these videos www.patreon.com/thedufresnes and we are currently saving to do more of them
@@TheDufresnes are you guys retirees, collecting a pension, or withdrawing from either rrsp or tfsa....curious if you still pay Canadian taxes? I've heard CR is a tax haven??
No I wish haha, we sold all of our stuff and live off of savings, online work and rental income. We still do taxes in Canada as we are not residents of Costa Rica. We're not sure how it works once you have residency
@@TheDufresnes did you bring your household effect, such as furniture or tools? I just bought a bunch lol
Bought everything here
Great video! What an awesome life! I find all your videos so interesting. Don't listen to any negative comments. Thank you for taking the time to produce the videos and allowing us to see into your world!
Thank you for your kind words! We are so glad that you enjoy our videos and thanks for watching 😊 More to come! And yes, I absolutely HATE negativity...some people are just so bored it's sad...😒
Yes as Shayna commented, thank you for watching and enjoying the videos as well as recognizing the effort that goes into making the videos and as well, the fact we are allowing the internet to come into our life as we share it. We aren't forced to do this but we enjoy sharing and hopefully helping others go for their dreams
great video from life, that's what we want to see !!!!
Thanks for watching
Love the idea of this new series!
Thanks
Love your videos! We are considering moving to Costa Rica in 2024 (when I retire)
Try some Tarrazú coffee, those are regarded as the most delicious of the world multiple times.
I usually buy the cheapest one there is in the country: Fedecoop 3pack for 1 thousand colones, so around 1.70 dolars, is almost decent, but if you know exactly how much coffee you need to toss in the filter: can't put too much or is going to taste acidic, too little and is going to taste like mud, you can make it work, it takes years to fine tune just the right amount of coffee you need to put in the filter and how much sugar is going in, you feel iluminated when you get the perfect balance for a particular brand.
Thanks for the recommendation, we'll look for it. Yes we have found the best amount for most coffees and still the yellow bag 1820 was still acidic tasting. We would buy the blue bag whole beans and grind them ourselves and it was good but we still find Leyenda better
For coffee try El Rey espresso if it is available. Usually we get it at Mas por Menos. The espresso is the only el Rey that we care for. It is like 3700 colones.
Yes we've tried that one too, we've pretty much tried every coffee you can buy at the supers
@TheDufresnes Dota and Tres generaciones (doka estates) are really good too.
Yay! I haven’t even watched the video yet but I’m excited about it 😊
Awesome, hopefully you enjoy it
Excellent “day in the life” video. You can certainly tell by the number of comments, it was good. Thanks for the tip on the itch cream. Have you used bug spray with deet and it’s not that good for the CR bugs, or is it something that is to expensive to use daily?
Thank you, yes we've used bug spray but it still doesn't work with the no-see-ums and yes it's expensive here
Plus I hate how oily and greasy it is so I guess I'd rather sacrifice getting bit up 😂
I love that the videos I’ve seen so far you always say “chao” lol! I love your content btw and I’m so happy for you that you’re having a really good life here and I wish you the best on everything you got in mind and more, all the success for you guys! Plus, the life you’re giving to your children is one of the best things you can give them as fathers. Best choice ever you made moving here! Greetings from Limón province! :)
Muchas gracias, we love it here and showcasing what Costa Rica has to offer, we cannot wait to go to the east coast and explore
Hi Chris, Shayna. The boys are getting so big! Your place looks great. Good to see you guys are making it through this pandemic ok. Renee (hairdresser/Kelowna)
Hi Renee, hope you and your family are doing well, thanks for watching and yes they are getting so big. You'll definitely have to plan a trip down with your husband one day soon and escape the craziness up there.
TheDufresnes yes, it’s on my bucket list for sure!
If you can get it try C.E.R.on your sink sprayer just soak the sprayer head in it for a few minutes and try running it throw your pipes , works on lime as well and a few other things .
Do you means CLR? If so it's expensive here and I wouldn't want to run chemicals through our lines. Vinegar works well and apple cider Vinegar works wonders on the chrome taps.
Fun video!! Loved it! Looking forward to more!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it 😁
Another great video guys! :) On the mosquito subject: I've been in Samara in January and San Ramon in September and found that it is nowhere near as bad as here in Canada (Ottawa). What's your take on comparing?
Yes definitely waaaay more mosquitoes in Canada, we couldn't even sit outside for dinner in Kelowna because they were so bad
It's not even the mosquitoes here that are that bad...it's the damn no-see-ums! They are the WORST
I want to leave Ontario and live in Costa Rica. Taxes are ridiculous here. When you moved to CR were you able to stop paying taxes back in Canada?
If you get residency here in Costa Rica you can to a point, if you have a pension or anything like that then I believe you still have to file income tax
I grew up drinking powdered Tang! I didn't realize it came sugar-free. YUM, adult grape Kool-Aid.
Thanks for sharing, there is news regarding reopening the airports in CR??
You're welcome, thanks for watching. Right now they are planning to open for select countries on August 1st
👍👍That Alergel is amazing stuff!!!!💝
Yes it is
Did you guys buy the quads down there or have them shipped from somewhere else?
We bought our quad here in Samara 🙂
I am loving the keeping up with the Dufresnes style blogs, the gardens looks so beautiful🌴🌿🌱 I'm into tan lately too, I do like the orange one lol I'm blending one carrot with half orange tan and I love it, tan has vitamin C so it is good for the immune system especially with all virus around. P. S I might start adding vodka too😉
Thanks haha, yes Shayna will agree that you need to add vodka, I'm not a fan of the taste personally and yes get as much vitamin C as you can
I do like Tang just normal...but vodka Tang is definitely my new favorite cold cocktail and I have replaced beer with it so I definitely feel better! Esteban if you try vodka tang I PROMISE you will be hooked! 😆
@@shaynadufresne 😅😂 I'm totally gonna try tang with vodka then🍹thanks for all the advices, also gracias for the alergel tip, I have been suffering all my life in silence lol I'm in the Caribbean coast and bugs are visious here so I'm gonna get it for sure🦟🐜.
Happy to help! 😊
LOVE IT
Thanks! It's fun to share what it's like to live here
Thanks Hannah!
Great video!
Thank you
I'm looking forward to your coffee episode. I've had Britt and 1820 but it would be good to know about the lesser known brands :)
Man i wanna live in cr soo bad im from toronto also, dont mind at all living in a container, just don't know what id do down there to earn a living and not get bored all day
Yes it's a good place to live for sure. You just have to be creative and it would have to be something online or you would have to start or buy a business here. They key to not getting bored is having hobbies you enjoy
TheDufresnes right on brother 👌🏼 perfect Advices . Good hobbies like Jiu jitsu and kickboxing @kickboxer205
great video my brother!
Thank you, it was a family effort 😁
Pandemic Aside, Do you send your kids to local School? And is there any sports activity opportunities for them?
We were sending them to a private international school but because of the pandemic and loss of income we are now home schooling them. Yes there is some soccer that's available as well as surfing and other beach activities
Places open in Samara during covid or nah?
Yes, everything is open here
Cool outside furniture! Where did you guys get it?
Thanks, we found a good deal at the Do It center near the Liberia airport. We did see a good selection at Pequeno Mundo too
Soooo comfy! Love outdoor living rooms 😍
What town and area are you living, I am trying to get there ......but COVID is restricted Flights?????
We live in Samara, yes the border will open to flights August 1st to certain countries, hopefully that doesn't change
Hope to come down..and visit
Hope to have you 🙂
Another fantastically motivating video. Life is super simply beautiful in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Pura vida 🤙🏼 @kickboxer205
Gracias Manny, see you soon we hope
Chris, where in northern B.C. are you from originally?
I'm from Terrace
@@TheDufresnes Chris, I used to live in Smithers. Loved it there.
@@t3ddyt3ddy my grandparents lived in Smithers, when I was in high school we used to rip to Smithers and skate
@@TheDufresnes What did your grandfather do for a living?
@@t3ddyt3ddy he ran the Capri motel in the late 80s early 90s
Some good old moose head 🇨🇦
Oh ya eh buds!
Glad you found our daily vlogs, we did 7 in a row and it was intense, film all day get up at 4 a.m to edit and then film all day again haha
Thanks. I have got a few questions for you:
- So you guys have your kids enrolled in a private school ? Are there not any public schools there ?
- Are there many mosquitos there at night time ? Do the houses have screens on the doors and windows like we have here ?
- How long have you guys been living there for ? Can you speak any Spanish now ? Do they offer Spanish lessons there ?
- I will assume you guys hold a residence visa. How long did it yake you to get yours ?
- Do they have hot water in the houses there ?
- How hot can the summer be ? Do you need an air-conditioner or would fans be enough ? It air-conditioning central as in most houses here in Canada ?
I would appreciate your answers.
Cheers.
Please watch the following video

I understand you may be quite busy with two kids and a business to run and not having the time to answer repetitive questions.
May I suggest putting an FAQ on your page ? That would help people not having to bother you unecessarily.
Cheers.
We've posted numerous times on our social media including RUclips that we offer a consultation service. This is one way we make an income and help others we currently do 4 or more consultations a week and everyone has been happy with the meeting. We'll continue this way of helping. Thanks for watching.
As for your idea of the FAQ we have an entire video playlist that we compiled of questions people have asked over the years. So thanks for the idea, but we've already done it ruclips.net/p/PLmY6XXqpIcAUxrb2WIlqpaJsjAaZF-mHH this play list is all free information we've spent a lot of time on. I suggest, doing more searching on channels before commenting, because what you're asking for is already there, and agian it's free. But we do have a lot of people who watch all of our videos and still book consultations, not saying you have to but some people do.
Thanks so much for your list of questions! I am going to take some time right now to answer each and every one of them for you:
In regards to question #1, watch our videos.
For question #2, there is a very high probability that this will be answered for you if you watch our videos.
Question #3 is amazing! Watch our videos.
With question #4, it's your lucky day! You'll find that answer in our videos.
Question #5 is very well thought out. Watch our videos.
And last but not least, question #6 can absolutely be answered if you watch our videos.
Hope this helps! 😁
