If you could close your eyes and instantly transport yourself to a tropical beach paradise, where would you go?

Fiji, Hawaii, Jamaica, Costa Rica...Pura Vida!
 

It all started with an email about 🌸"Bloom Baby Bloom" 🌸... 

And evolved into an idea.

An idea to bring that Costa Rica vibe home to Connecticut with photographs from Pura Vidadise.

Wanna come on a visual escape to Costa Rica with me?

Yes?

Vamos (let's go)!

I totally botched chasing an insanely gorgeous sunrise..or so I thought!

You don't have to worry about “fitting in” with all the other gray cubicles at work with your home office setup.

Rainy Season > Dry Season

Yes, I said it! 

I prefer Rainy Season in Costa Rica over Dry Season...and if you love breathtaking sunsets as much as I do, then you will too!

(How about that for some rhyming... 😉😂)

So why is Rainy Season better than Dry Season in Costa Rica?

Because Rainy Season = magical sunset season in Costa Rica!

In other words, rain squalls + clouds set the stage for dramatic sunsets just like this...

For a brief stretch during rainy season in Costa Rica the afternoon rains stop and the refreshing offshore summer winds come back for a mini summer / little summer, or what's called Veranillo de San Juan (verano means "summer" in Spanish). 

If you've ever travelled to Costa Rica, then you most likely know + love the phrase "Pura Vida" as much as I do. But if your high school Spanish aka Español is a tad bit rusty, I probably have had you wondering what the heck I mean when...

Do you love a good surprise?

Or that rush feeling you get from a thrill of a find?

As much as I like my daily routine, I also have a penchant for adventure. One of the reasons I love surfing, chasing sunsets, photographing landscapes, and taking portraits of perfectly parked vintage cars is the thrill of the find.
