My ideal life 

For my ideal life, I would like to have a beautiful simple wooden house with an ocean view, a large patio where I can plant my plants and have a swimming pool in the mountains of Puerto Viejo, living with my cat and that my grandparents, my uncles and my parents live in the same neighborhood as me, so that I can have them close and be able to have family dinners on Friday nights 

Regarding work, I would like to be able to do many things, mainly I would like to have my own cafeteria in the center of Puerto Viejo facing the sea, with table games so that customers can have fun while waiting for their order and be able to dedicate myself freely to art and perhaps have an art gallery. About money, I would save a lot and try to expand my business to have free time to travel everywhere, mainly Norway and Japan. 

When I’m older, I will marry a man I love and if possible we will be together for the rest our lives. As much as possible we will not have children, we will travel and try new thing. We would be in a different country at the age of 60, continue getting older. We would walk in the morning and watch the sunset and when the times come we will die asleep in our bed.
