8 Reasons Why Americans LEAVE Costa Rica [Why I Left]
The TRUTH about living in Costa Rica: Why do so many Americans leave Costa Rica after moving there? In this video, I explain what causes expats to change their minds about retiring abroad and why I left Costa Rica after 8 years. Some of the initial reasons that people want to move to Costa Rica include the moderate climate, laid back lifestyle, fresh and healthy food, friendly people, beaches, medical tourism, and the low cost of living. But is Costa Rica really a safe and friendly country or is it actually dangerous and expensive? Once they arrive, many people realize that living in Costa Rica wasn't quite what they expected. Unfortunately, that results in people returning home quite soon after arriving.
After helping more than 500 foreigners move to Costa Rica and living there for eight years, this video explains the top reasons why people move back to the USA and why I left, too, so that you know more about what to expect BEFORE you get there. This is the real and sometimes dark truth about living in Costa Rica. What do you think are the biggest pros and cons of living in Costa Rica? Let us know in the comments.

What is ANDORRA? (Not What You'd Expect!)
Did you know that Andorra is a real country?!
I made this video about a year ago and realized that I only posted it on FB and not YT. So I wanted to share it with a new audience to educate you a bit about one of the smallest, safest and most humble countries on our planet -- ANDORRA! Have you ever been to Andorra? Or heard anything about it? I recommend visiting if you get the chance!

GRUTAS del PALACIO y QUINTA CAPURRO - Lugares que visitar en URUGUAY
En semana de Turismo realicé un roadtrip por los departamentos de Canelones y Flores, visitando las Grutas del Palacio, el Zooilógico del futuro y la Quinta Capurro.
Estos tres lugares se encuentran bastante distanciados uno de otro. Sin embargo vale la pena visitarlos.
Espero que les guste!

Uruguay Travel Video HD -- Uruguay's Cities, Countryside and Beaches
Casual, handheld footage from our June vacation to beautiful, natural Uruguay! Shot on Canon T3i. Locations include: Montevideo, Colonia, Punta Del Este, Minas, Canalones, San Ramon, Maldonado, La Paloma, Punta Del Diablo, Pirapolis and Rocha.
Uruguay is a welcoming country that offers a peaceful, genuinely laid-back culture that is notably distant from the world's current conflicts and troubles. Uruguayans are an inclusive, conversational and happy people. We were delighted that Montevideo, Uruguay's capital city boasts a relaxed atmosphere, is affordable and also has a thriving artistic community. With bountiful natural resources and a high quality of life, it's no wonder this country is also a popular destination for expatriates and digital nomads.
