Pura Vida View


Welcome to
Pura Vida View
Pura Vida translates to pure life or simple life, but in Costa Rica, it's a way of life. Costa Ricans (Ticos) use this term to say hello, goodbye, everything is great or cool. But more than the words, it represents the way Ticos live a simple, easy going, happy life. Every time I visit, I fall more in love with that relaxed laidback attitude and love the idea of embracing and living a
Pura Vida lifestyle
Thank you for visiting and exploring with me. I don't live in Costa Rica (maybe someday), I live a very busy life in Texas. I am married to my best friend, and we explore near and far whenever we can, and I have two beautiful daughters that keep us very busy. So we don't exactly live a simple life, but my goal is to see as much of the world as possible, to meet and learn from as many people and their cultures as I can, and to embrace the Pura Vida attitude.
