Short Bio:

Pushing 50 in age and number of countries visited - maybe our age should match the amount of countries we have visited. It certainly would make the world understand each other better. My passions are dogs, science and travel. I learned Spanish as an adult and enjoy the Latin culture and countries (traveled to Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Spain). Before I depart this insignificant blue speck in our galaxy, I would like to leave a pragmatic scientific discovery in energy, desalination or a work of art that makes one ponder about the direction of science.

About Pura Vida's Reading & Writing

I enjoy non-fiction, hard science-fiction (in respect to future predictions), and travel writing. My favorite writing style is the flow and descriptive nature of authors during the late 1880s and early 1900s - somehow they write simply yet elegantly with a touch of formality and innocence that is enjoyable to read contrasted to modern "in your face realism".
