JP Sears ridicules Costa Rica

June 29, 2017 by Staff News Writer

Before talking about the video, it is necessary to specify that JP Sears is a youtuber and spiritual trainer known especially for his satires about ultra-healthy lifestyles, those of people who do not accept that others live differently. In this sense, he makes fun of vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free people and even environmentalists.

On Wednesday, he published a video about Costa Rica, which did not go down well with some of the locals and bares several realities facing the country and with which tourists have to deal.

Some of the criticisms he makes are about Costa Ricans’ unpunctuality, the cost of life, the problem with drug trafficking on the beaches and the poor condition of the roads.

He also criticizes the food and mocks the climate, the architecture of the country and even the way they peel a pipe with a machete.

The video has had countless reactions, both for and against. There are those who follow him in social media and understand his humor. Others have been offended by the content of the video. One of them was the Costa Rican ambassador in India, Mariela Cruz. Read her reaction.
