Dreaming is like painting the canvas of our future with the vibrant hues of our imagination. It's a magical realm where possibilities are limitless, and a positive attitude serves as the brush that adds the perfect strokes to our aspirations. When we approach our dreams with optimism, we create a powerful force that propels us forward, overcoming obstacles with resilience and turning challenges into stepping stones.
Positivity fuels perseverance, transforming setbacks into valuable lessons and setbacks into opportunities. Embracing a positive mindset in the realm of dreams not only brightens the path but also attracts the energy needed to manifest those dreams into reality.
So, dream big, paint with the colors of optimism, and watch as your life becomes a masterpiece of joy & fulfillment. This is the essence of Pura Vida.. .

It's all about the cheese! Costa Rica is a paradise not only for its natural beauty but also for its rich culinary traditions, including an impressive variety of homemade cheeses that add depth and flavor to its cuisine. One of the most beloved is Queso Turrialba, a soft, fresh cheese with a mild, slightly tangy flavor, originating from the highlands of Cartago. It’s a staple in Costa Rican households, often served with gallo pinto, tortillas, or simply enjoyed with fresh fruit. Another favorite is Queso Palmito, a unique, stringy cheese that resembles mozzarella but has a slightly firmer texture and a creamy, buttery taste. This cheese is a joy to pull apart and eat piece by piece, making it a popular snack or an addition to sandwiches and empanadas. Then there’s Queso Fresco, a crumbly, slightly salty cheese that pairs beautifully with traditional Costa Rican breakfasts, adding a rich contrast to the sweetness of plantains or the savoriness of eggs and beans. Queso Seco, on the other hand, is a drier, aged cheese with a stronger flavor, often grated over rice dishes or used to enhance the depth of soups and stews. Queso Crema, a smooth, spreadable cheese, is another delight, commonly used as a dip or spread over warm bread. Costa Rica’s artisanal cheesemakers are in abundance here. Find one and buy a few wheels!

Pérez Zeledón, a vibrant canton in Costa Rica’s San José province, was named after two historical figures: General Antonio Pinto Pérez and Nicolás Zeledón. General Pérez was a key military leader, while Zeledón was an important civil servant. Their contributions to Costa Rica’s development were honored when the region was officially established as a canton in 1931. Before that, the area was part of the larger canton of Buenos Aires but grew in population and economic significance, particularly due to agriculture. Over time, Pérez Zeledón became a hub for coffee production, cattle ranching and trade, attracting settlers who sought fertile lands and economic opportunities.
Geologically, Pérez Zeledón is characterized by its rugged terrain, with the towering Talamanca Mountain Range dominating the landscape. The region is home to Cerro Chirripó, Costa Rica’s highest peak at 3,821 meters (12,536 feet). This diverse geography was shaped by tectonic activity and volcanic influence, creating fertile valleys and lush rainforests. The area's rivers, such as the Río General, contribute to both agriculture and hydroelectric power. The climate varies from warm lowlands to cool high-altitude zones, supporting rich biodiversity and making Pérez Zeledón a hotspot for eco-tourism and conservation efforts. San Isidro, which is the main town in this area is home to Ticos and Expats alike. It's the 2nd largest town in Costa Rica, with a bustling economy. . a huge bus terminal, lots of restaurants, banks, grocery stores, etc. To many, it's a perfect place to call "HOME" in this amazing country!
In 2003, Nanci Wright-Stevens and her husband, Barry, moved to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Costa Rica, expecting a peaceful retirement. Instead, after meeting a hungry man and a young boy eager for school, they founded El Puente, a grassroots charity that provided food, school supplies and community support to the local Bribri Indigenous people for 17 years.
Nanci shares their incredible journey in her memoir, "The Bribri and The Bridge: Tales from Life with the Indigenous of Costa Rica," available in paperback here: https://tinyurl.com/35svz558
and as an e-book on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Bribri-Bridge-Tales-Indigenous-People-ebook/dp/B0DY2Y6F66
In this inspiring book, Nanci blends wit, wisdom and stunning artwork to tell the stories of the people El Puente has uplifted. El Puente has served tens of thousands of meals and has provided school supplies to over 300 students annually.
