"You cannot travel within and stand still without."

Dura Vida: "Hard Life"
Dura Vida is the story of a young entrepreneur and his family’s journey from the United States to Costa Rica, Italy, and other parts of the world, where they root themselves in local communities and their children in local schools—searching for meaning, connection, and rapture.
The throughline arc of the book is the author’s journey inward, but also a blueprint for living and connecting outward.
The key lessons and wisdom that can be gleaned from Dura Vida by a careful reader are invaluable, but the true treasure in this book is the intimate stories of the author’s family, he and his wife’s vision for their children’s future, and their shared striving toward the light.
