Nothing but GOOD NEWS!
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.. .

Isn’t it funny how sometimes the best ideas arrive like a lightning bolt—bright, exciting, full of potential—and then we let them slip away like a scoop of ice cream melting in the Costa Rican sun? We convince ourselves we’ll get to it mañana, and then mañana becomes next week, next month, or never. What a shame that is, because hidden in those little sparks of inspiration are often the seeds of something life-changing. Imagine if the Ticos had said, “Eh, maybe we’ll try Pura Vida later”—the whole world would’ve missed out on this beautiful philosophy of joy and simplicity! So why not flip the script today? Let’s trade hesitation for action, fear for a little humor, and doubt for a Pura Vida attitude. Whether it’s learning Spanish, starting that business, or finally saying yes to surfing lessons (even if you end up looking like a sea turtle trying to dance), today is the day to make your move. Ideas are gifts—but action is what turns them into PURA VIDA moments we’ll laugh about and cherish forever. Perhaps even forcing yourself to try to talk the entire day IN SPANISH when you're out on the street. Sure, you aren't too good at those pesky past-tense verbs. . OF COURSE, you don't know how to ROLL YOUR "R's!" Who the heck cares. . just jump in. . HEAD FIRST TODAY. . and see what happens. I bet you'll end up with some good belly laughs. . maybe a NEW FRIEND OR TWO. . I know you'll smile a little throughout the day. Pretend you're a Super Hero today and give a c1,000 tip to that street vendor on the corner. . be different today. . work your magic!

The Nicoya Peninsula, stretching along Costa Rica’s northwestern Pacific coast, has a rich and layered history. It was originally inhabited by the Chorotega people, who migrated from present-day Mexico and brought with them advanced agricultural practices and strong cultural traditions. They cultivated corn, beans, and squash, while also creating intricate pottery that is still admired today. With the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, Nicoya became an important hub of cattle ranching and farming, but due to its relative isolation, it retained much of its indigenous influence longer than many other parts of Costa Rica. Over time, the peninsula developed into a unique blend of indigenous heritage, colonial legacy, and modern Costa Rican culture.
The Nicoya Peninsula is globally recognized as one of the world’s five official “Blue Zones,” regions where people live measurably longer, healthier lives. Residents often live past 90 and even 100 years, maintaining vitality and strong community connections. Researchers attribute this longevity to a combination of factors: a traditional diet rich in beans, corn tortillas, fresh vegetables, and tropical fruits; a physically active lifestyle tied to farming, fishing, and walking; and the importance of family, purpose, and social bonds. Nicoyans also benefit from calcium- and magnesium-rich water sourced from limestone bedrock, which supports strong bones and overall health. This remarkable combination of lifestyle, environment, and cultural values has made Nicoya a model for studying healthy aging worldwide.
Geologically, the Nicoya Peninsula sits at a fascinating tectonic boundary where the Cocos Plate subducts beneath the Caribbean Plate, creating a landscape of rolling hills, volcanic soils, and dramatic coastlines. Its terrain supports tropical dry forests, mangroves, rivers, and estuaries, providing habitats for abundant wildlife, from monkeys and jaguars to sea turtles and exotic bird species. Fertile volcanic soil has long supported agriculture, while the coastline—dotted with beaches like Tamarindo, Samara, and Santa Teresa—draws surfers, naturalists, and wellness seekers from around the globe. This is an area that you must visit when here in Costa Rica. Learn about its magical qualities!

A Digital Nomad is a remote worker who travels while working, using technology and the internet to connect and perform their job from various locations. They often work in different places, such as co-working spaces, cafes or their accommodation, using devices and internet access to stay connected. Digital nomads are not tied to a specific office or location and can work in many different fields. There are MANY here in Costa Rica! Are you considering a move?
How Many Digital Nomads Are in Costa Rica?
Costa Rica has quietly become one of the most popular destinations in the world for digital nomads. From the beach towns of Santa Teresa and Tamarindo to the coffee-filled mountains of Atenas and the Central Valley, thousands of remote workers are calling this paradise their temporary—or permanent—home.
While only a few hundred have officially applied for the digital nomad visa, it's estimated that well over 18,000 digital nomads currently live and work in Costa Rica at any given time. Many enter the country on standard tourist visas and extend their stay while enjoying a flexible, laid-back lifestyle.
Why Costa Rica?
Digital nomads are drawn to Costa Rica for more than just the palm trees and ocean breezes. Here’s why this tropical haven is buzzing with laptops and hammock work sessions:
*Fast-growing digital infrastructure with fiber internet in many regions
*Cozy beach and mountain towns with coworking spaces and nomad-friendly cafes
*Incredible biodiversity and nature just outside your door
*Welcoming local communities and strong expat networks
*Mild weather year-round—who needs winter?
Where Are They Going?
*Digital nomads in Costa Rica tend to settle in areas that offer both beauty and convenience:
*Tamarindo & Nosara – Surf, yoga, coworking, repeat
*Santa Teresa – Laid-back luxury with a creative vibe
*San José & Escazú – City comforts with mountain views
*Grecia & Atenas – Affordable living and perfect weather
*Puerto Viejo – Caribbean culture with a chill twist
The Big Picture. .
Costa Rica isn’t just a vacation spot anymore—it’s a lifestyle hub for adventurous remote workers who want more from their 9-to-5. Whether staying for a few months or making it a new home base, digital nomads are adding a fresh, global energy to this peaceful country.
And with each sunrise and fresh cup of coffee, Costa Rica continues to whisper its magic: “Pura Vida.”

Ten Parameters
of the Pura Vida Lifestyle
to Live Within. .
Coffee Before Chaos – Your morning coffee is sacred. If someone disturbs you before your first sip, they owe you at least a sincere apology… or more coffee.
Siesta Diplomacy – Nap at least once a day. Bonus points if it’s in a hammock swaying like a tiny vacation.
Traffic Zen – If stuck behind a slow driver, smile, wave, and silently chant “Pura Vida” while imagining a beach full of coconuts falling gently on your worries.
Gallo Pinto Priority – Breakfast is a religious experience. Rice and beans are not just food—they’re edible therapy.
Wildlife Welcome Committee – Iguanas, monkeys, and toucans are your new neighbors. Practice waving politely… and resist the urge to feed them your lunch.
Beach Feet First – Sand between your toes is mandatory. Shoes optional. Social anxiety? Optional too.
Sunset Appreciation Hours – Set your watch to “sunset o’clock.” Missing one is like forgetting to breathe… almost.
Pura Vida Smiles – Smile at strangers. Smile at mailmen. Smile at the dog chasing a chicken. Your face is basically a happiness generator.
Problem Shrinking Method – Any problem that can’t be solved before the second sip of a cold cerveza is… probably not a problem.
Gratitude for Everything – Traffic, rain, heat, the neighbor’s karaoke—thank it all. Bonus points if you thank a random chicken for crossing the road.
Living the Pura Vida Lifestyle isn’t just about moving to Costa Rica—it’s about embracing joy, simplicity and connection every single day. Ten key parameters: gratitude, patience, kindness, adventure, community, mindfulness, laughter, generosity, nature and balance are your roadmap to a life full of energy, peace and fulfillment. Don’t wait for “someday” to start living fully. The magic begins the moment you choose to embrace these values. Start today, because the world is brighter, lighter and more beautiful when you live Pura Vida.
