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.

    @cosmictogaparty Před 16 dny

    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. 🌊

    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.

    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

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
