Visits to remote villages, backroads and beaches led to my falling in love with all that says Pura Vida to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back in 2017, I knew I wanted to live out my live in Costa Rica but, I wasn&#8217;t sure that I could do it alone. The pandemic has made me rethink all of that and I sold my house and made the move to Costa Rica. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the ocean is beautiful to visit, I had no desire to live there so I searched inland closer to the rainforest. The climate of Lake Arenal and the proximity to numerous National Parks, shopping and medical care for myself and my pets cemented my choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will use this journal to document the move and my adventures along the way.
