Pura Vida: Red Eyed Tree Frog
Pura Vida, in English, means “Pure Life”. However, these two words have taken on a much deeper meaning in Costa Rica! It says that no matter your current situation, life for someone else can always be less fortunate than you. Maybe, your situation isn’t all that bad and that no matter how little or how much we have in life, we are all here together and life is short…so start living it “Pura Vida style”.
