    Great travel guide, you could really publish a book!
    Every episode of this series is amazing and I can feel you both had a lot of fun on Costa Rica!
    Costa Rica is really underrated, the beaches there are so beautiful!
    Fortunately, we have your detailed introduction, which makes me want to travel there too!
    Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍😍👏

      Our property in Ecuador is almost ready for you to park at if you are coming after May 22nd as I will be on vacation in Canada from April 16th until that date. There are many free things to do in our area from nature walks, night walks which include the insects that glow in the dark, waterfalls, rivers, the unknown Santuario Católico de la Pasión de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo - El Calvario which has a path of mini churches and more.

    If anyone is considering Cost Roca, I urge you to come and research things before moving or even visiting. It is extremely expensive to the point that’s irritating. Especially the costal areas. Restaurants are more expensive than California. Same with groceries. Housing too especially near the beach. The worst part is drug related crimes are also increasing.

      Stable Democracy: Costa Rica has a long history of political stability and peaceful democracy.
      Pura Vida Lifestyle: The “pure life” philosophy encourages a laid-back, stress-free approach to life.
      Cost of Living: Generally lower than in the U.S., especially outside of the main tourist areas.
      Healthcare: High-quality healthcare services are available at a lower cost than in many developed countries.
      Real Estate: There’s a variety of real estate options available, from beachfront properties to mountain retreats.
      Safety: Costa Rica is often cited as one of the safest countries in Central America .
      🤫 SHUSH. Not all t-shirts are 75$ like in the giftshop . Also fun fact for under 50,000$ you could buy property and build on it. Don't speak nonsense

    How do you know which lakes/rivers are safe to venture in?

    • @NaickKim
      @NaickKim  Před 2 měsíci +1

      It's best to ask the locals and follow their guidance. Some rivers have big populations of crocs. Usually you can find lots of locals at the rivers, swimming, etc. so then you know its safe.

      In 10 days you could probably cover pretty much all of them, two weeks would give you a bit more leeway in terms of weather and relaxing. If you've got one week, I would stay on the pacific side and not go to the Caribbean side.

    You should update the channel description and cover. "Driving our campervan from Alaska to Argentina by the end of 2023!" is clearly not true anymore and "Publishing a video every week" has not been true either, more like every 2 weeks or every month.

      You are right, we had to change our planning. We updated it to 2024 :)
      Unfortunately we can't post as much as we would like anymore, since we have to do a lot of freelance work to pay for the thousands of dollars in repairs and shipping (shipping prices have increased massively since we planned the trip).
