Awesome vid, thanks! Spent 6 months in Ecuador and now want to give Costa Rica a try as well. Sad to hear it's so expensive though :(

Well firstly thanks so much for the positive comments and you're very welcome. Yeah, no matter what the prices are you pretty much HAVE to go to Costa Rica to experience it for yourself! We would just recommend staying outside of the large tourist and expat concentrations for renting and eating as much as you can. The country as a whole though is incredible and diverse and awesome. Keep us posted on your travels, we'd love to hear your perspective and comparison on the two countries after you've lived in both. Happy and safe travels to you, and welcome to our channel!

Cool. Ecuador is on our list but haven't made it yet and will be delayed with the cartel issues. We like Costa Rica but it's expensive. It would be great to add in a medical/dental component. Thanks!

Thanks so much for watching. We were certainly fortunate to have lived in Ecuador right before all the problems started increasing. That gave us a good taste for the country and regions in the country that we liked. There is SO much biodiversity there, it was surprising. Probably because Ecuador kind of flies "under the radar", not any people talk about it. It was eye opening. We loved Costa Rica so much also! It's kind of frustrating that a person would heva to search pretty long and hard to find an "undiscovered" and low cost of living place there any more. We have several other videos on our channel, both on CR and on Ecuador. We'd be happy to share our additional knowledge on the countries with you through them, Maybe the best way is through one of our playlists?? Here is the Ecuador series: kzread.info/head/PLcnb2tui-VxswGuy--gzPKmUpNiBrYO-4

Los dos países muy hermosos pero CR cudia más la naturaleza y tiene un a plataforma muy grande del servicio y extructura turísticas. ADEMA SUN PAÍS LLENO DE AVENTURAS Y OFERTAS. TAMBIÉN CR es líder en turismo rural,médico. Pero Ecuardor es hermoso algún día iré a ver tanta belleza

Hi Doug yes they do! What an awesome change for travelers. We just may go back one year because of that. The ease of entering and being allowed to stay for such a long time is very appealing. What do you mean about "180 days allowed driving on your visa"? Thanks so much for watching and for your comment. We appreciate that and hope you subscribe and share our videos!

It's really F'd up about all the violence. But important to mention it.

Hi there! How ARE you? We haven't heard from you in a while, how nice. Yes for sure! We are so incredibly fortunate to have been able to visit Ecuador before things escalated. It even seems a tad funny (def ironic!) that we put out our "Is Ecuador Dangerous" video just after returning to Canada from 6 months in Ecuador and all was more or less fine....and then, such a short time later, when deciding on what we wanted to talk abouot in THIS video.... we kind of HAD to say something.... Si very sad. There are some good and young people dying for trying to better the country. We pray they can come out of it soon and without any more violence. Thank you for watching and checking in!

​@@PlanFree Where I work, we can listen to music sometimes, with one earbud: that's when I listen to most of your videos hence I hit Like but can't comment. It makes my blood boil, the way many "humans" behave towards others....

@FocusedFighter777 gosh yes, the evil can be mind boggling. But there by the grace of God go I. The best things we can do is to check our selves every day, in the small things. Make sure we are behaving kindly toward others, even/especially in our own households. Changing OURSELVES to better this world. 💗 You are the best and we thank you once again for listening, watching, clicking like and for commenting!
