New York to Santa Ana, Costa Rica

It, it took off an enormous amount of stress and strain, you know, moving, making this big decision to move our family with two young children, two young children who were not particularly keen on the idea of leaving their friends and their family that they've known their whole lives.
If you are half as stressed as we were, moving our whole family and our whole lives to this new country, which is beautiful.

Um, the most valuable part of the Pura Vida scouting process for us, me and my family was definitely having a team. That literally held our hands. From start. I was gonna say until finished, but they are still holding our hands. We still contact them, we are now uh uh almost a year in to living here in Costa Rica and. We can contact them for anything and everything. We literally text them, we get a message right away. They have been wonderful. We've socialised with the team, um, you know, they'll come over here and come and hang out and have dinner or whatever. They, they, they were like friends of ours right away. And it helped us trust them right away. It, it took off an enormous amount of stress and strain, you know, moving, making this big decision to move our family with two young children, two young children who were not particularly keen on the idea of leaving their friends and their family that they've known their whole lives. You know, uh, aged 15 and 10, it was a tough age to decide to uproot their lives, but we knew we were making the right decision for the right reasons. It just helped so much to have them take off some of that burden, you know, looking for where to live and, you know, what schools to consider, and just, you know, various questions about, uh, what sort of amenities there are in specific areas and what the traffic was like in certain areas and just, it's so much, so much. I can't even list it, but it's, it's. It has been so reassuring and we've gained new friends that we may not have met had we not been watching their videos on YouTube while we were doing our research about Costa Rica. Contacted them and they were so wonderful and have continued to be wonderful. And I, like I said, it's been almost a year. So It'll be the best thing you ever do for your move. If you are half as stressed as we were, moving our whole family and our whole lives to this new country, which is beautiful. If you're half as stressed as we were, then literally, these are the guys to work with. They will make you feel at home, and it doesn't end when you move. They are, you know, literally, you can text them, call them any time. I mean, try not to call them at midnight. But they're wonderful, so. Thank you guys. Again, I will continue to keep thanking you forever because it literally was. The best thing we did for our family. Thank you. Thank you for helping us.

The Service provided by your Pura Vida was top notch. These guys are totally professional and. Very honest and direct, um, they didn't shy away from any of the harder questions, and it really gave us a great idea of what we should expect and what we should look for in Costa Rica, um, and they made it fun, I mean, these guys are just a lot of fun to talk to and they know their stuff.

When my partner and I were researching living in Costa Rica, I came across the your Pura Vida videos hosted by Aaron and Patrick.
My partner and I decided to purchase their scouting service.
My partner and I would have never been able to gather all this information on our own.

When my partner and I were researching living in Costa Rica, I came across the your Pura Vida videos hosted by Aaron and Patrick. I really enjoyed what they had to say about life in Costa Rica, and so I decided to contact them. I had never reached out to any business advertised on YouTube before, so I was somewhat hesitant and skeptical, but I'm so glad I followed through. From our very first Zoom meeting, I knew that I could trust them. My partner and I decided to purchase their scouting service. We filled out their detailed questionnaire so that they could learn more about us and our lifestyle. They then sent us our personalized scouting package, which was amazing. They had narrowed down three areas to explore that they felt would fit our lifestyle. They found 3 or 4 Airbnb choices for us to pick in each area and gave us a ton of information about each area. Such as grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, and so much more. My partner and I would have never been able to gather all this information on our own. We are so grateful for the support, expertise, and kindness we experienced with Aaron, Patrick, and the York Pura Vida Company. Thank you so much.
