The Pure Life

The simple translation of Pura Vida is "The Pure Life", a term many Costa Ricans live by. More than words it's a way of life. It's a communal understanding that we are all in this together and life is short, so live it!

 As I grow older I find material items hold little value compared to life experiences and pushing my boundaries. My happiness comes by living in the moment, appreciating the small things, and enjoying everything as it happens. When I learned about Sarah's list of 100 New Things to Try my interest was immediately peeked. The notion of taking the time to evaluate the experiences life has already provided and being creative on new experiences I want to venture through has brought me here.

 Some items on my list are a bit ambitious and to ensure I can work towards completing them I am limiting my list to 33 items, for my 33rd year on this planet.
