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.. .

The Dark Days are over for Sgt. Scotty. That's what they used to call him over in Afghanistan. He is still proud of his three deployments. Those years back in 2012, 2013 and 2014 were challenging. He had to make split-second decisions about life and death. He saw things done to human beings that you only see in horror movies. The memory lives within him. . and probably will forever. But now, because of Mother Nature and Costa Rica, the pain has been pushed aside. He focuses on good coffee, sunrises, the simplicity of life and an occasional butterfly fluttering by. His garden filled with tropical plants, fruits and veggies give him pleasure. He's still at his fighting weight. The cobwebs and grit inside and out are being flushed away. I had lunch with Sgt. Scotty two days ago. He and his wife, Erika are finally in the process of acquiring their Legal Residency here in Costa Rica. They know. . without a doubt, that Costa Rica will be where they live out their lives. Many of his Navy Seal brothers have come to visit him in the last two years since they moved here. Their 3.3 acres are perfect. This is all they need. He built a cozy little guest villa and he's been busy with veterans from all over the USA coming to visit him. He doesn't have a degree in Psychology but he knows that the 7-day getaway that he offers does a lot of good. He doesn't charge his war buddies for their stay. He feels pleasure and has a lot of pride that he helps so many broken souls gather within them the strength to move on with their lives. We need more people in this world like Sgt. Scotty and his wife, Erika. They're laying a foundation towards a new life for those who fought for us.

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:
*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.

Imagine recovering from surgery while overlooking lush rainforests, tropical beaches & the soothing sounds of nature. Costa Rica is more than just a travel destination. .
Toucans are among the most iconic birds of the tropics, instantly recognized by their vibrant bills and playful personalities. Costa Rica is home to several beautiful species, including the Keel-billed Toucan, known for its rainbow-colored beak; the Chestnut-mandibled Toucan, also called the Swainson’s Toucan, with its deep brown and yellow tones; and smaller species like the Collared Aracari, Fiery-billed Aracari, and Emerald Toucanet, each with its own unique charm. These birds thrive in forests, from lowland rainforests to misty cloud forests, and are often seen hopping through the canopy or calling out in their comical, croaking voices.
The toucan’s beak is one of nature’s most fascinating designs. Though it looks large and heavy, it’s actually lightweight and strong, made primarily of keratin—the same material found in human hair and fingernails. Beneath the colorful outer layer is a honeycomb-like structure of bone and air pockets that gives the beak strength without extra weight. This clever construction helps the toucan reach for fruit high in trees, defend itself, and even regulate its body temperature by radiating heat through its bill.
Beyond its practical uses, the toucan’s beak also plays a role in communication and attraction. During courtship, toucans often toss fruit to one another as part of their bonding rituals, and their vivid colors signal health and vitality. These birds are symbols of the tropical spirit—colorful, lively, and full of personality. Watching one in the wild feels like seeing a piece of living art flutter through the green canopy, a reminder of just how creative nature can be.
Birdwatching is a HUGE past time in Costa Rica. People come from all over the world to see the hundreds of species. In our 31 national parks, all kinds of tropical birds can be viewed in the wild. With the six species of toucans taking the lead, many try to spot the beautiful Resplendent Quetzal, hummingbirds, raptors and so many more! Bring your camera and your binoculars. . you're in for a treat for sure!
