Livin' Pura Vida
Description
Maybe it’s because she’s Amalia’s #2 at the shop. Or maybe it’s because we want to hear a sun-drenched tropical voice, rather than our own urban ones. Whatever her reason, Amalia rarely gives up her podcast mic to anyone. But as you’ll hear, Mafe Cobaleda-Yglesias es differente.
About her upbringing, Mafe (pronounced “ma-FAY”) says she “had the privilege of growing up in Costa Rica” after her parents fled Colombia during that country’s battle against guerillas. Recently she found time to escape the chilly Seattle weather to reside on the beaches of this popular Central American gem . When she’s not working, Mafe is, “visiting family, visiting beaches, and seeing a few monkeys around.” (We’re not sure if she means that literally or figuratively. Or both.)
