PURA VIDA
More than just a greeting
Costa Rica Bliss
I recently returned from my second trip to Costa Rica to see if it really was as amazing as the first trip.
The answer is YES.
Returning to country isn’t something I would normally do, as I like to explore new places, but it was almost more relaxing than the first time. Discovering some new places but returning to the place we loved the most. It felt like it gave us more opportunity to really embrace their culture. It allowed us to relax more deeply, I guess by not needing to think to much.
I got to understand the meaning of PURA VIDA ( Pure Life), that its more than just a greeting. Its a way of likefe that embodies peace, simplicity and gratitude.
The Costa Rica approach to life encourages people to live lightly, letting go of stress, embracing the present moment and finding joy in simplicity.
Maybe we should all take a leaf out of the Ticos ( Costa Ricans) book?
I am looking forward to returning back to offering self-care & nurturing time to support you to manage stress and maybe live more like a Tico.
