    Good luck to you guys. I'm a little reluctant to settling in a foreign country especially being from the US and all it has to offer. I prefer to visit a region in a foreign country until I get my fill and then return home to the US. And there's always the next trip on the horizon.

    • @TheDufresnes
      @TheDufresnes День тому

      Everyone is different and everyone has their own opinions. Many countries have a lot more to offer than any North American country, in more ways than one. We personally would never stay stuck in Canada where we are from, or the U.S. No thanks!

  • @jackcomber1087

    Everything sounds very expensive in Coasta Rica. I live i Arizona and my utility's run around $120 per month. Food varies $500 to $600 a month. If we want to go to the beach we can go to Rocky Point Mexico or San Carlos which are both around 4 hours away, and very affordable with a hotel room on the beach starting at $80 per night and food cost around 60% of what it would be in the US. Property taxes are very reasonable in Arizona especially in the 55 communities. Property insurance is less expensive in Arizona, I'm paying $95 mo. Gas prices are somewhat reasonable at $3.89 for diesel and about the same for regular. Oil change is $76 for a diesel. If I need a certain medicine I can be across the boarder in a nearby Mexican town in 35 minutes an get whatever prescription drug I want or get my teeth worked on for much cheaper than the US. I know Arizona can get hot in the summer months but its a dry hot not a humid hot so its tolerable. And its a good excuse to visit the northern latitudes in the summer months. I'll stick to the US unless I can find a country that is irresistible and cheaper than my current situation.

    Hola. 😃 So much content on one video, where do I begin. From the emotional closing of the door of your home for 7 years to the closing of the gate and leaving Samara. Airports and travel is never easy especially with everything your family is attempting to keep control of. So difficult losing an important piece of luggage with all of your clothes and bathroom needs, that sucks. The traveling around LA (the freezing temps. 😄) and the area, too many people for me, but Bangkok is even more crowded. Good to see you’re with good company, your brother and his family and of course Scott & Kathy. Funny scene in the burger joint with them in the background. 😅 Such a hectic few days I hope you find a few to just relax, sleep and chill for a bit until the next adventure. Thanks for sharing. All of your subscribers I’m sure are tuned into what’s coming up. Gracias!

    regarding your departure out of Costa Rica... did your decision to leave Costa Rica have anything to do with the extreme living rising costs everyone is experiencing in Costa Rica? I have 2 friends who sold everything they had in CR and took 2 yrs to sell their property, and moved to Argentina. I know the cost of living has accelerated way above all other Latin American nations and that was their deciding factor. I hope you and your family have a great experience in Thailand.

    • @TheDufresnes
      @TheDufresnes 5 днів тому

      No it was not based on the living Costs as a lot of States and even Canada are just as expensive if not more. We did a whole video about why we chose to move on from Costa Rica.
