    I loved this video and the fact that you don’t try to conceal anything! This is sooo relatable, I live in Costa Rica, houses are not always new or fantastic and you have to make it work. In my apartment I also have a cucaracha problem😂 sending you a big hug from the tropics and good luck on your new adventure!!!

    • @tapiocapress
      @tapiocapress  5 месяцев назад +3

      sending you a big hug back from Shenyang - a different part of china where there are fewer cucaracha😂we don't get to decided what life gives us, but we can definitely make it work:)

    Can tell you made this video super intentionally!! Not a moment was wasted and everything was super engaging
    Impressed with all the adjustments (added curtain, wood vinyl) you made to make it look nice on a budget!

      thank you!! I did outline the video, just didn't have time to write a script. It feels so liberating making a video this way. So happy you liked it, and yes, it's not about getting a nice fancy apartment, but all about making the small adjustments that make it feel like home🏡

    To get rid of the roaches use food grade diatomaceous earth, it's a powder. Place it everywhere, on the cabinets, corners, where the roaches may roam. It won't poison your cat. I've used it on my home for years and I own cats too. Btw, love your channel! ❤

    MY GOSH I AM NOT ALONE :0 !!!
    I recently stumbled upon your channel and I couldn't believe how relatable your content is to my personal experience. Like you, I found myself trapped in the corporate world (for 14 months), despite it not aligning with my true passion. Your videos about thriving for an enjoyable life and shedding light on the realities of corporate life really resonated with me, especially when you talked about feeling completely drained after work with just enough energy to watch TV.
    I wanted to reach out and let you know that you are not alone in this struggle. I have actually created a short movie-like video that delves into my own personal journey of those 14 months in corporate, highlighting the highs and lows of the experience. Given how much I felt I was not alone watching your content, I thought you might find it interesting to watch. I genuinely believe that you will be able to empathize with my story and perhaps even find some inspiration in it :)
    I'm truly excited to be a part of your community and I look forward to supporting your channel going forward. Keep up the amazing work!
