The valley climate sounds amazing man. Very similar climate to here but a bit milder (less hot in summer & less cold in winter). San Jose looks super populated & not ideal to be even close to.

I find most items in the supermarkets here pretty unappealing anyway. I can't live without beef though which pretty much rules out SE asia for me.

Have you been down to Uvita yet?

I can see why Bitcoin surfers would love it there.
