IG: LUCACHACO THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP Since there is FREE WIFI at the airport the easiest way to leave the airport is by UBER. I highly recommend you to install UBER. It is a Taxi Service app which is a lot CHEAPER and SAFER than taking a normal taxi. If you install it with the following link you will get a promo credit for your first trip. https://www.uber.com/invite/uber_pv So with that link you could easily go from the airport to San Jose for FREE instead of a 30 or 40 USD taxi ;) The same way when you are leaving the country you can just take an UBER to get to the AIRPORT no matter the time. They are always available 24/7 and it is HALF the price of a normal taxi. Don't even bother asking hotels or hostal because they will try to sell you shuttles :( WHERE TO EXCHANGE MONEY --> http://bit.ly/2iz1PkW MOST IMPORTANT BUS SCHEDULES: --> http://bit.ly/2pQZkRU WHAT IS CHEAP AND EXPENSIVE IN COSTA RICA? -> http://bit.ly/2joRht5 NOW ABOUT ME----> In 2014 I did and internship in Germany. I lived there for almost one year. It was an amazing experience and was able to participate in Couch Surfing events. Now that I am in San José I want to be part of the Couch Surfing community of Costa Rica. I work as a software developer and enjoy meeting people and travelers from different backgrounds to share experiences.

CURRENT MISSION Make friends, help out...we travel on a slender budget often ourselves. ABOUT ME I'm a long-time resident of Costa Rica, married and mother of 2. We sold the farm we bought here in the early 70s,,. and recently returned to the very same area, just a kilometer or two from where we first settled in 1971. We read a lot, and travel as much as we can,. Well, we DID. Often doing home-exchanges. We enjoy good food, and mostly cook and bake at home, rather than eating out. PHILOSOPHY We're community-minded, non-religious people, politically progressive . We don't need to be saved; we don't believe that tofu is the epitome of human cuisine; we don't do anything that requires Spandex; we don't just "put it out there"...we have goals and we work toward them. Play is one of our goals:)

Hello! I am a visual communicator with curious senses. I love gastronomy, photography and any artistic expression that allows us to express feelings or thoughts and share them with other people. I respect any human form and expression and celebrate diversity anywhere in the world. I appreciate the opportunity that people around the world have given me through this application and community to learn from a local perspective the particularities of each culture. I am willing to offer the best possible experience always with respect. I love getting to know new and special places that one can come across while walking aimlessly through the streets of another country, living in the present moment because the future is an imagination and the past is a memory. I hope to have the opportunity to meet and share experiences together!

I'm a chill person; I enjoy reading books, gardening, hiking, etc, but I also enjoy new experiences; eating food I've never tried, visiting places I've never been before, and I love learning new things. If we're talking and we don't know something I'm definitely gonna google it 😅 I like hanging out with foreign people because they always bring new perspectives; their own way of doing or seeing things.

I am a dancing chipmunk! Impulsive yet thoughtful, unpredictable, nomadic, politically incorrect and very outgoing. I cannot stay for too long in the same place. While I have a house now, it might as well be a green backpack at any time, the world itself is my home. My passions are cultures (learn, read, talk, share, live, experience them), languages, cooking, arts and helping people. I like, philosophy, sociology, silly jokes, and outdoorsy stuff. I like to read novels, write poetry, to meet people, drink coffee... More questions?? Ask me!

NOTE 2026 Moved to Sabana Sur, very close to Parque la Sabana. Guests have a room, sleep on an individual inflatable mattress 2025 I moved to San Juan de Sarchi. It's a nice little house with two bedrooms. The guest room has bunk beds! 20212-2024 Living in San Jose. I'd rather live at the beach ⛱ but it's very convenient living here and the weather is very comfortable 👌 2019-2021 I have visited many new areas in central Mexico, almost all were inland. The mountains of San Louis Posti have many beautiful places to visit! I also visited Guatemala and Costa Rica and ... I fell in love with southern CR and moved there! ... There is a complicated story where I ended up living in Mexico City and Mérida after a while ... I then moved to Playa Coco in CR which I did not like (although Playas Hermosa and Panama are nice) and then lived 3 awesome months in Playa Grande, near Tamarindo 👍 ... before moving to various areas in the GAM (San Jose area) 🤮... although I admit the condos I live in are nice. I finally visited San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, for a month, and farther north. It is a beautiful country and very affordable but I was stopped 20 times for inspections and had to donate to the local police 5 of those times! Yes, I traveled a lot in my month on my motorcycle but the police and the political climate, well, I don't want to live in an environment such as that🙀 2016 TO 2018 - 3 awesome years living in Eureka California where the marvelous Redwoods are located! * Please read "Sleeping Arrangements" in the "My Home" section regarding where you will sleep and "Our Experience Together"! If you do not specifically refer to what I write in "Our Experience Together", I will decline you.  CURRENT MISSION Enjoy trips with like minded individuals! ABOUT ME I enjoy travel, primarily using timeshares from 2004 to 2018, or staying with fellow Couchsurfers and famly! Enjoying experiences with a local's expertise when traveling and happy to host those in my area! PHILOSOPHY Doing my best to take it easy, I'm a recovering Anal Retentive type!
