week in my life / living in Costa Rica
hey friends! it’s been awhile 🙂 On January 1st of this year I moved back to Costa Rica after living in Europe for a little while. it’s been the best decision and i feel so lucky to call this little caribbean town home. a reminder that social media is a highlight reel and the reason why i took a little hiatus was because i was feeling really unhappy and my life wasn’t looking nearly this joyful. now that i’m finally feeling good again i’ve been inspired to make content and share my life but life has its ebbs and flows of course. i’ve archived quite a few old videos and my creative juices are flowing so enjoy my little re-introduction to youtube and a week in my life xx

We live in Louisiana – wish we would’ve known about this when our children were growing. We visited in 2019 for the first time. Thanks for the transparency in the interview. We absolutely love CR and will be back again.
Playa Ventanas…best.
Sweet video! We have two smaller children and plan to move to Samara or Uvita early next year. Thank you for all the helpful videos!
Ohh I wish we could do this!
We are moving there this year. What the cost of medical private insurance? Ive heard it takes months and even year to get seen by a doctor.
Great info. Thanks!
