Pura Vida & Relaxing in the Costa Rican Rainforest

Pura Vida & Relaxing in the Costa Rican Rainforest

San Lorenzo de Tarrazú is a mountainous area in southern San José Province that borders Puntarenas Province.

Independent Coffee Shops

Independent Coffee Shops

I wouldn’t consider myself a coffee expert by any means, but I do love a good cup of coffee and the relaxed atmosphere coffee shops offer. Recently, I visited a small shop in Fujieda, Japan. It’s owned by an…
