This is one of my main issues. Thank you for the live stream.

Enjoyed it again this week! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

🙏🏻

What I suggest, do a drone view of all the places you lived along with the communities and people so foreigners can get a feel for the places while looking at your videos. Makes it more interesting. For me pictures are worth a thousand words. 😊

hi allan doug d here...i have used trawick ins a few times but it was mandatory to have travel ins during covid because c.r. did not want the burden of cost if a person were to get sick and hospitalized from covid....i know regs have changed since especially with paying caja fees have more than doubled...and being married to a tica i feel it is still cheaper to stay a tourist and exit every 180 days......

My son is worried: the Justice system being ineffective in CR, how often do people get unjustly detained? Is it like in America where you can't even talk to the police otherwise you can (de facto) be detained for years before trial? Particularly as (others said) you don't get a fair chance as a foreigner. How is the situation dealing with Ticas: If once again there is no fair legal treatment for foreigners do Ticas make a lot of false grape accusations like in the US? - we're from Europe, but spent some time in the US, he's kinda spooked because America's legal system is quite heavy handed compared to back home.

The shower head scars me with all the electrical wires attached to it. I am afraid of being electrocuted. 😳

I would love to take this ride on a motorcycle

Hi Allen, I just found your channel and am moving down there this fall. I am hoping you can recommend a contractor who is talented and honourable to build a similar steel framed house for me.

I lived in Mexico for 8 years but had to come back 4 years ago. This is not America anymore, this is Dystopia with all the conveniences. I am waiting for the chance to get out again!

First time viewing your podcast. Enjoyed all the information and Wisdom you shared. I will definitely be visiting Cost Rica in the near future. I reside in USA/Maryland.

Missed you guys Sunday..I am in c.r. leaving back to jersey tmmrw

People Return to your country you will feel better, your country is so vast that you will surely find a peaceful place to live and you will have the advantage of the facilities that the United States offers.

A useful live stream

Thank you 🙏 for your great input.

Love the Podcast! I missed this week, because we had our Dachshund in a Wiener dog race today. On the chemical pesticides, some all natural pesticides are actually worse for you than the chemical ones.

Are there big wild cats in CR? How can you feel safe living in the jungle if google says there are.

You guys are awesome!!

I’ve started my research on CR , I’m in the US , lived in 3 different states 3 different climates , im looking nature and tranquil lifestyle , I’ve been researching all different areas , I’m looking for close to beach , nearby shops (necessities gas, supermarket , doctor, cafes & boutiques ) I live in small slow paced town now where I have to travel at least 30 minutes for most things, I have necessities (doctor , gas, food , post office in my town) mall is an hour from me now (metro area) … I lived city life (NYC & rural) would like to stay rural but not hours from metro any areas you can suggest

Hi why are some people saying Costa Rica doesn't have Comceal Carry? I just saw a video on my social media, you can find it by the Google search words " man sh*t in costa rica over water dispute" and it's basically a guy trying to do things the american way. It seems like he owned that thang legally, what do you think?

PUT DEEP PILE UNDERGROUND PLEASE TO AVOID SLIDE 😅😅😂😂

I tell you what... Your voice is so soothing and relaxing. Your message about CR is always exciting to hear. So glad we get the good, the bad and the ugly!

Hi i saw someone living in CR filming out of their window showing that they had a security guard surrounding the compound day n night. You said you "live in the jungle" do you just get a big dog? Has that been enough? Someone else said their dog was poisoned for this reason. Do you plan on getting animals (like chicken) how do you protect those?

Hi, my husband needs TRT, is this allowed there? It is prescribed by a doctor but I heard some people needed to bring medication from other countries and then found out that they couldn't. And because the roads are rough have you ever tried airless tires?

I have some logistics to work out. I'm so tired of the drama here where I currently live. I'm excited to explore the 3 areas I have interest in. I will know it when I feel it. I have absolute faith God will lead me where He wants me.

I still believe that the USA is the best in the world ,, I'm one to live in both countries i was born in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 and left when i was 4 yrs old, been in the armed forces for 18yrs now a disabled veteran, yes Costa Rica is not for everyone and i agree whole heartedly about renting first and yes Costa Ricans will ripp you off any chance they can in anything that involves money (anything you buy), imo Costa Rica crime is extremely high now with no laws really to protect you accurately, yes its extremely beautiful and some people are friendly but not all anymore,, and yes depending on where you live depends on the weather the higher up the cooler and in the anything in lower parts are hot,,if you are one that are not living like the locals like what pertains to everyday life yes its nice to hang out in your place and just pital around with stuff to just keep you busy but its not the same for locals they are in there own rat race ,crime has skyrocketed everywhere in the country,, its alot different for those that can come and go but no so for locals if and when the crap hits the fan we can just leave so there's that security ( if you know what i mean?) Costa Rica is still a underdeveloped country as much as they try to bring it up to speed , to many old and outdated laws and with much corruption its impossible,, now abt the food I've been to many places in the world and Costa Rica has to be the most unfavorable food there is,, been that i have some culinary experience i usually spice things up,, I travel alot to Louisiana and Texas i live in the panhandle of Florida and i have visited Bucee's( a gasoline mall)and Mambos is a great place you seafood go there everytime but thats because I'm familiar with the place ,, i love cilantro but not to over power the food so i get it on the side,, now for cajun food i also love it but not fan of to spicey either now i do go to all kinds of boils too,, Love gumbo but not a fan of okra in it not for me , but i do eat pickled okra ,, I love Mexican food and its one of the most flavorful food in the world I'm part owner of a Mexican restaurant in Lake Charles ,La. When it comes down to roads definitely Costa Rica is way behind on that (no lights,signs,markings on the roads, no one has common courtesy to follow basic driving laws,etc..) now another thing is the quality of household stuff definitely not that great and expensive for crap i usually run to the border to Panama where you can find prices and qualities similar to the USA but not everyone can just go and do that(locals)so locals pay the price...well i think thats my 2 cents of what my experience has been..glad you guys are back in Costa Rica and look forward to your next post,, btw do you have AdHd?😅

Life taste better in Costa Rica!

I brought in 24 jars of hot sauce from my favorite mexican restaurant in texas. No problem

No okra in costa rica

I endured this for an hour. You are the silliest thing since jumping jacks. Type A personality on steroids. If not for Rebeca I would have turned you off and deleted you twice and run my CCleaner. She is your anchor. Your info may be valuable but hard to take. Not enough sugar to help it go down. Some say it takes all kinds and luckily for some, you are only one. Allen, luv ya man but you rub me the wrong way. Don't hate me for being a sloth. Like you, I am only one also. Have a great day!

Easy is the trap, the American dream is dead and now they want everybody to live in Smart cities with 100% surveillance and obedience to the government. If you don’t comply, that easy will stop. Give me a third world country all day. Pura Vida plus there’s real food here.🥩

Don't know if I could live full time in CR. Our summers up in Canada are usually so nice and so much to see. Since we are starting retirement, we want to travel across Canada in our 5th wheel trailer. Costa Rica is where we will spend our winters, because I can't handle the -30 temps anymore.

Favorite cajon dishes?

Everytime we travel down, we max out our checked bags also. The wife and I have these travel duffle bags with wheels. We usually head down from Canada with 4 times 50 lbs bags.

They just opened a buc-ee's in Johnstown Colorado.

Dang, just missed it!

Really enjoyed you two and your video. Gracias!

Hi hope there's a live today. I wanna ask - before I forget - I was looking at a map of the largest foreign nationality per country in the americas. El Salvador folks seem to be he biggest group in Costa Rica. And I knew of someone who hired a maid from that country in Costa Rica and not a tica, it seems to me like it happens a lot and I wonder why that is.

Hey guys! Finally got around to finishing the video! For some reason it showed that I had given it a thumbs down…NOT TRUE. Lol. BIG THUMBS UP!! Enjoy your time in the states! If you ever come through Pensacola give us a shout and we will buy you a meal! Or cook some crackling cornbread😜🤣😜🤣😜

You 2 are very energetic - people full of life.. how is this possible? Comparing to us...the age and challengers, worries, loneliness?

Its not finished?

Where does Cristina practice now, since CRIBO closed up shop in 2023

I would really like to meet you guys or yall being that yall are from Louisiana,, i would really like you to email me at [email protected] so i can run some things by yall that i have experienced and learned from being there for about 8 yrs back and forth i to am prior sevice for 18yrs in an MP Unit ,, i would really like to have some cafecito or something,, let me know,, ill be there soon for a couple of months im in the Orotina area ....

There are so many animal rescue groups in costa rica but to each its own but for me i would would like to form a group or groups to give back to the people,, there are people that need repairs on their homes that cant afford to pay other ticos(plus they rip them off too) to fix things because of maybe not having tools to do the jobs,, etc..

I live in Florida and I go to Lake Charles quite often and if you are still there try blue iguana bar and cantina excellent Mexican restaurant,, I'll be in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 in a few months for a couple of months

I have a question, Allen. I live in Vegas. I'm moving to Dominicalito in August. Should I apply for residency now, by contacting the Costa Rican Consulate in Beverly Hills, CA. Or wait until I move to Costa Rica, then apply?
