Pura Vida Costa Rica

January 2017

 

Since I am back from Costa Rica, I feel so incredibly alive.

 

So why, what happend? The answer is very simple:

 

"Pura Vida" - this phrase, meaning "pure life" or "enjoy life", you hear lots of times during a day in Costa Rica. And the locals don`t just say it, they really live it.

 

 

In the last few weeks I was closer to life as I am at home, I had the feeling I live with the nature and not just in the nature or worse against the nature!

  • practising Yoga in the middle of the rainforest

  • living door to door with howler monkeys, sloths, skorpions, snakes, spiders, ...

  • eating raw cocoa beans out of the cocoa fruit and learning how to make delicious chocolate out of the raw beans from the cacao tree

  • seeing the sun rising and setting down over the ocean day by day 

 

... so for sure I feel alive and full of energy.

I am happy to share some of my impressions here with you. All I can say is "Enjoy life", "Enjoy every single day", "Experience the beauty of natur" - nature can be so magical!
