De la pura vida is my blog about living, working, traveling, and exploring the culture in Costa Rica. I’ve worn many hats since I’ve lived here, from full time traveler to housewife to editor-in-chief of a newspaper to English teacher. De la pura vida, fittingly, can mean many things such as “it’s all good,” “from Costa Rica,” or… “made from pure life.” Really, it means whatever I want it to mean, and I chose it so I can take it with me wherever I go.
All the content on this site is my own and I am currently not accepting guest posts.
A little history
So one day I decided to move myself and my nine year old dog to Costa Rica. I uprooted myself from fantastic friends, a close family, and a nice job. And from this, my blog was born.
Ohhhh if only it were that simple.
I came to Costa Rica for the first time in 2008 and absolutely fell in love with the country and the people. And a boy. Well, I moved down in early 2010 with plans of starting a business with this boy, but that never happened, and the relationship dissolved.
I decided to stay in the country after the break up because I LOVE IT HERE! When I’m not blogging, I’m taking too many photos, writing, designing, cooking, walking my dog, hanging out at the beach, or teaching English.
