Chillin' in Costa Rica: Pura Vida is the Best Life

Here in Costa Rica, Hive account@michelios and I are able to spend a great deal of time outdoors. One of our favorite things to do is hike to the Atirro River because there's almost always a chance to pop in for a swim. The water is crystal clear and cold, which feels great on a hot day. We have multiple favorite spots that we choose to go depending on how adventurous (or not) we feel at the moment. Multiple animals tend to accompany us, including the Amazon parrot who adopted us as her flock. She climbs around and plays in the trees while the rest of us splash in the shoals. She is free to fly away and live as a wild bird any time she wants, but as you can see in the video, she clearly chooses a home with us.

Michel and I are working on our YouTube channel and just passed a hundred subscribers. We're proud of that accomplishment since the channel branding is still very new. We will provide viewers a look at native Costa Rica, away from the tourist traps and urban sprawl. It's a side of Costa Rica that few travelers get to see, a glimpse of life in the rainforest that raw and real. We do hope to share the things we learn about off-grid homesteading as we develop our plot of land, as well as the adventures we have living in a bus. For now, until we're settled on our small farm, we share our day to day experiences in what is arguably one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
