HelloHello

Happy New Year!

Let's start this year with a look at one of my favorite countries: Costa Rica.

Despite only being the size of West Virginia, Costa Rica is the land of plenty. It literally translates to "rich coast."

Christopher Columbus reportedly discovered it in 1502, but the one who truly deserves credit for its breathtaking natural wonders is Mother Nature.

The peaceful Central American country boasts extensive coastlines along both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. In addition to world-class beaches, Costa Rica has some of the most bio-diverse ecosystems on earth.

Whether you are interested in a romantic getaway with a bit of adventure, want to learn more about Costa Rica's national parks, or how to plan a road trip - this edition is for you!

What does Pura Vida (title of today's edition) mean? Simply translated, it means “simple life” or “pure life”, but in Costa Rica, it is a way of life. Visit this small but amazing country and find out more.

While we don't quite know yet what travel will look like in 2022, we hope you keep us in mind when planning your next adventure!

Here's to brighter days!
