Costa Rica

I visited Costa Rica in January of 2023, mainly on a mission to learn how to surf. Though surf I did, from Jaco to Uvita, I also discovered firsthand what it means to live by that phrase that so casually slips off the tongue of locals - pura vida. It was the unfortunately timed sinus infection I arrived with that forced me into the slow and steady pace of pura vida, one that even when healed I found myself choosing to stick to. Instead of the jam-packed days full of adventure in rainforests, most of my days were spent moving slowly, being still, and keeping it simple. I’ll forever remember Costa Rica as the place I truly learned that the simple life is the best life.
