Awwwwwwww my Dear Pura!!! I think about you all the time too and I miss your delicious, healthy and super entertaining entries for FAVM. However, even if this is not for our contest, I am giving you an AWARD anyway. I also wish you and @dandays all the best with the moving and hope to see you back soon. Sending lots of hugs 💖😍💖
Oh my God!!! Yay!!! 👏👏👏👏 How wonderful to sign onto steempeak and read this little gem. @lenasveganliving you’re such a doll and I’m grateful to have met you :). One of these days I’ll have to have you over for dinner, when we are in your hood of course. Although I wouldn’t mind if you came over to England either 🤷🏼♀️ Sending lots of hugs right back at ya sista!!!
I would love to come wherever you are my sweet Pura and I said many times; I am planning to ravel!!! So let's see how it all works out for us. Have a great time in England. It will be a huge change compare to Costa Rica and California. Nevertheless, England has its charm and I hope you will share it little piece of it wit us. Altough, I ma very surprise about the sudden change. Bon Voyage! Mwah! 😘🛫
It will be a welcomed change. It’s much different living in a country verses vacationing in one. I had no idea that we’d have such a change of heart either. Then again I had no idea how divided the community is here. It’s shame! I’m definitely looking forward to discovering a country my Dad was born and raised in though. That’s the plus :) Thanks for all of your well wishes Lena 😘
Oh so you are not going back to Costa Rica? I must be missing something about the community, but you know best what works for you and what doesn't. You have always us! The Steemit community, where ever you are my Dear Pura 😍
No, we aren’t coming back. We decided we didn’t like Costa Rica and the customs that are practiced by locals and expats alike. Locals and expats don’t really integrate with each other. There are separate albeit more expensive grocery stores for North American expats, different restaurants, different prices to get into state parks, different prices everywhere actually… it’s something we didn’t notice while we were here on vacation. Also, the locals can be quite rude to us. They don’t like us here and more expats should talk about that. It’s like a lot of people moved here and invested in businesses or houses before realizing all of this and are fearful to admit it therefore chasing off a potential buyer for their investment. Almost all of the expat businesses or homes are for sale… it’s all kind of bizarre. Anyway, we look forward to discovering other countries and potentially finding our “home” somewhere else.
Oh my gosh! That is really disappointing! Wow! Well I hope you will find the place of your dreams Sweetie. Buy the way; why did you leave California?
It is disappointing but m excited to see where this leads. We left California because we wanted to try a different way of living. It’s also very expensive to stay there relative to the rest of the world.
I see! Toronto is very expensive too and on top of that we have long horrible winter, lol. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with a little bit of adventure! Quite the opposite, so make the best of it!
