Growing Gringa
Registrace 21. 04. 2014
Voyage internally and externally, growing into our choices, manifest what we truly are, free from fear and the framework of the system. Growing Gringa represents my choice of moving to Central America from Canada and transferring my homesteading and prepping skills to a completely different climate and culture.
Life in Costa Rican Rainy Season!
My road to home crosses a small and beautiful river, but today well into rainy season, it has become torrential. And I need to get home. These are the kind of situations that Costa Rica throws at us.

Thank god for mom and her money. This lady is probably broke
Hard to live in a foreign country?,iam costarican and I learned the life in USA, very hard.
Most women say they don't need a man and they are good to go.
Mary let me marry you i love you
I'm sorry you went through this extreme worry about your dog, and facing other challenges. I'm just exploring buying land here in Limon province.
Wash with blue pipe water... Drink rain... At least short time... Filter? Just like Thailand, not sure if city water is even safe to drink...
I want to go there and marry you and live my life with you forever❤
Oh and coconut trees CAN be full of bad things... be careful...
Water on car top good idea. Oil your machete and if you conserving water wash in a pot with sponge. More effecient water usage...
4x4 and go thru fast. If it is too high and pushes you down stream, keep going but open both doors and let the water flow through the cabin. That way it doesn't push you further down. Never back up if your exhaust pipe is underwater. One thing you do not want is water in your engine. That's why some people have the air intake rigged up high so water doesn't get up into the engine. 🌊
ooohhh thank u so much for this advice...cause it is gonna happen again. I had planned to open the windows . Many people here have the exhaust rung up but i didnt think id need that....
I’m sure after this rain season you will know your limits and the suv.
You go girl!!
hello, hope you are good....don't cross it- wait til it recedes
Great!!
Try it the other car when through
You are more and more confident. Can see it in every video. You got this. Your ability and range of things you can do grow daily. Awesome.
awwww,,Thanks Wallace! its true..im getting there.
This is the exact moment where a competent man would come in handy
i admit..wouldve been awesome to have a dude hold my camera
@@growinggringa4956 you tell em...lol
@@growinggringa4956 FYI, please be careful hanging out with Sara! She’s a liar and scammer who bad mouths everyone she meets and tells their business! She bad mouthed you 4-5 times on live! She called you a narcissist and a manipulator!
I subscribe to support you. I also own a home in san Isidro for over 2.5 years
Ahh..thanks SO Much!!
I watched you most latest video. And so I we t to search others of you. You mentioned you have no electricity. If you have a river on your property or near by why not just build a hydropower station using the water flows current. Search how they do it in India. Woks well. BTW I also have a property in Costa Rica for 2.5 years
Merci d'avoir ouvert tes émotions avec honnêteté. La vie au CR est un apprentissage journalier. Je vois bien que tu est entreprenante et proactive. Ça arrive d'avoir des journées que tout est en train de chier mais je crois que si tu garde le focus sur tes buts et ce que tu veux accomplir avec tes projets, tout va bien aller. Tu es bien où tu es crois moi, ici au Québec tout est en train de chier graduellement et le sentiment de déprime est vive ici. Tu sais, je t'envie d'avoir ce que tu as et ce que tu as accompli à date. En tout cas, tu m'inspire lâche pas, tu es sur le bon chemin.
La situation se dégrade au Québec?
Merci Steve! Cest tres appreciee!!
So sorry about your loss. I suppose 1 1/2 years of a good life is better than a decade of truggling.
This is what happens to a sexless woman. Without a man or social life, she is dead while living.
Girl if I were you, I would wear boots and protective clothing because I could imagine there are a ton of snakes and creepy crawlers there…be careful
who is the other lady there ? no introduction....need longer videos
shes gonna be back real soon! I always thought my videos were too long!! Trying to keep a balance.
@@growinggringa4956 no no they are always too short and need info and content
Please get a pair of Chainsaw chaps!! It’s worth it rather than Large Medical bills if you can make it that far with one leg!!
id love some...havent found any yet that would fit!!
Oh boy, you had me scared being that you've never fell a tree before. Glad all went well 🙂
Lovely chick, you doing great girls☺
Wow!! Be super careful that crap is very dangerous,, I suggest a few youtube videos to learn how to use one,, that thing can and will kick back at times and could and will cut a limb off and I'm not talking about the trees,, and wear pants and gloves when doing this type of job its not just about cutting there are safety measures alone with it...,, good luck...
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Look at you. You go girl. You got this. Awesome deal.
Please don't get hurt
Hello there
Hello Doug!!
Wow that background shot looks like a painted picture
Look into the book, the power of less, Concentrate on one thing at a time...instead of everything at once. 1. By Setting limitations, we must choose the essential, so in everything you do, learn to set limitations. 2. Choosing the essential, we create great impact with minimal resources. Always choose the essential to maximize your time and energy. Set limits
wow. so true. I definitely need to work on staying focused on the essential. Thanks.
I’m retired Army and I moved here in the Philippines from Dubai and it’s been challenging and dealing with my PTSD and so many other mental issues from my deployment. But I pray to God to help me. Be safe out there and please don’t give up . Jesus loves you ❤
Wow..that must be quiet the adaptation.
That sound is insects all vibrating together, its LOUD, I know!!
You say you wanna be free from the framework of the system, the matrix so to speak, you do realize that as a citizen of the wealthy developed global north, my sister in christ, YOU ARE THE MATRIX. smdh 🙃
rightly so. we all are..even in poor countries...there is still the controlled system of keeping humans in line.. not compared to rich countries i get it. I never said i didnt already know that. Thanks for the comment!
Since you ask, it was going fine until i found this video of you showing to other "expats" how to gentrify our country more...THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE, we are a small country, the size of Vermont (Bernie Sanders...having a moral compass...ringing any bells?). Expats are buying all the land here and gentrifying, displacing the locals, destroying our natural heritage to build obscene villas...we like responsible tourists, so please, make a moral decision, don't buy land here, because when you do, YOU GENTRIFY
Really now? And does it really look like im building a villa. Try not to put every expat in the same box.
God you are so fake and annoying. Please stop!
Try tying a big trash bag arond the whole antenna so no more nests can be built.
I’m sorry for your loss , RIP ❤❤❤❤
Put your trust and faith in God. "For I am with you" says the Lord.
I don't think those are gunshots, unless maybe a shotgun. Probably just a small m80 type firework/explosive someone is setting off.
Lol nice job caching that knife
watching you is like watching someone with down syndrome, get a man already
i just watched some women kill birds
this lady has a accent like i have never seen
why would you not say the price? i am literally watching these videos because i want to do the same thing..
there is absoultely no way this lady is a gringa..
you look pretty broken to me...
