12. I’m moving in November!!!! Free New Orleans!

13. Has to shut this off. WAY to shaky

14. Can you order things off Amazon and is it similar price for goods or more if u buy off Amazon

15. Been in Costa Rica over 10 years. Have no desire to live elsewhere.

16. I think if you could create a perfect video it would be a video explaining the basic cost of living there with details of the cost of rent and an idea of ​​the cost to create a house as your property. How much does the food cost, such as milk, fish, chicken meat, rice, potatoes, etc.? How much is the electricity bill, the water. How much does a car cost. Make a list of all the details, make a great video since you can’t find one like that. And how a foreigner can earn a living there. then create more content, on an adventure with animals, talk about how
    How perfect your life have been there ect, and it is difficult to find a woman there ?

17. Hi Muriel, thanks for the video! I’m looking to relocate to Costa Rica for 90 days at the beginning of May. I’m an online working professional who needs a good/reliable internet connection. I’d like to rent a small place 1 bedroom place on the cheaper side and I’d like to be close by to a good hospital in case something were to happen to me. Based off of what I’m looking for, I wanted to ask your opinion on the best area for me to spend my time/money in. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

18. Can you recommend a realtor that would help us purchase a house and land in the Nicoya area?

19. Vacation is great, to purchase a land or property need to get in touch with a trusty company or person, lawyer,. Look for the pro and bad; as in everywhere need you to have intuition . 30 years ago was almost a Paradise however people from some neighboring countries have been moving and brought crime and drugs. Just look for the nice and safe areas

20. Thanks for your channel. I’m from Australia and like the idea to live in Costa Rica! I have a good job in IT industry and was thinking to move there to work and live!

21. I hear that Costa Rica extended the visas during Covid, which must have come in very handy for those that were used to doing the border runs.
    We have been living in Nicaragua since the start of the pandemic. Costa Rica was supposed to be next on our list, so it’s good to get some insight into this beautiful country. I love where you decided to film this – so lush and green and it seems like the people that pass you on the street are quite friendly as well 😀

22. Thank you for this helpful video. Do you have to do a covid test when you do the visa run in Panama or Nicaragua?

23. I living in California but high cost of living is killing me 😞

24. Thank you

Do u have a email or phone numbers to contact THANKS CHEERS TIM&CAROL!.✌ oh were also Harley riders r there motorcycle dealers ships there?

28. does anybody know private airlines that flies to Costa Rica from Canada for unvaccinated

29. Hey Muriel, I’ve been wondering about the process of becoming a resident and recently I read about the need for us to prove we have all the required vaccines. I dont have covid in mind. Can you shed some light onto it? How was your experience in that matter?

30. Can a US citizen open a salon?

31. I was told land borders there are closed right now. Are border runs even a thing right now?

32. It’s called a corporation..

33. Great info. Thank you. Did you make the video as mentioned concerning kids and school? Very interested in this topic as that would be the deciding factor. Thanks again

34. What an amazing video. For us the big question will be affordability. Two kids. One is 8 and one is turning 3. Are there english schools? Are they affordable? Is housing expensive? In terms of dollars how much are we looking at to survive as a family of 4?

35. I have been scoring the internet for info. My soul needs Costa Rica. I have dreams that I’m there 😊

36. Hi Muriel! This is the first video I see of you, but I loved it, thank you!!! Being in Nicoya Peninsula, where do you go to the doctor? Do you think there would be a market for a (good) homeopath? 🙂

37. Hi
    In Jan we are thinking to go see properties in Alajuelo. One of my concerns is education. I have a 7 month old.
    Thank you.

38. My maternal grandmother was Costa Rican. I was born next door in Panama. Seems like Costa Rica may even be a better option for retirement. What’s your take?

39. I am thinking of moving from South Africa while I work remotely in the U.S. I am a little hesitant since I will be making the move alone as a 28yo female. Your video has really helped i.t.o getting some good "real" information. Thanks for the video! It has helped me decide to make the move and give it a go.

40. Thank you for the refreshing and positive view of Costa Rica! I’m 52 and single and starting to think about where I would like to retire abroad. Costa Rica was on my list although I’ve never been there. My plan is to start vacationing in some of the places I’m considering, over the next few years, in order to help make my final decision. I subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to watching more of your videos. 😃

41. Thanks for info! 🇨🇦😎

48. Hello Muriel. I am Maria from Argentina. I really hope to meet you personally. I am arriving in Santa Teresa next January planning to invest there.

49. Hey Muriel!! Thank you for the video it is awesome and really informative! I have a question though… If you do not work remotely and would like to live and work in Costa Rica as an ex-pat do you think that’s possible and do you recommend it?
    I work in Hospitality and Costa Rica is full of breathtaking hotels, so I’m considering moving and finding a job there.
    All the best, Francisco!
