CURRENT MISSION I like meeting people from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. I like making new friends from all over the world, helping people around, teaching some Spanish, preparing different dishes, and learning something new on the way. ABOUT ME I'm a Spanish teacher, but I also like business strategy and data analytics. I have experience in the tourism field as a receptionist, manager assistant, and inventory manager for almost 3 years. I helped one of my friends to develop his eco-tourism project in Costa Rica. Currently in Canada for an international job experience. PHILOSOPHY Everything is going to be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.
Hey Surfers! We're Jean & Clari. We love meeting new people, discovering new places, and exploring everything from restaurants and coffee shops to bars and hidden gems. We’d describe ourselves as adventurous and always up for trying new things—whether it’s a new recipe, a new city, or a new hobby. Lately, we've been getting into pickleball (so if you play, let’s hit the court!). A little about us: Jean is an Electromechanical Engineer & physicist, enjoys video games, and sports (specially soccer). Clari is a Graphic Designer with a passion for creativity and movement, especially dancing! We both share a love for music, experimenting in the kitchen, and embracing new experiences. Whether it's a deep conversation over coffee, a night out exploring, nature adventures, or a cozy evening at home, we’re always open to sharing good vibes and great company. Looking forward to meeting fellow travelers and making new memories together :)
Easy going and always up for new adventures. I studied Environmental Engineering and I am really interested about mother earth and its well-being. https://www.instagram.com/jeremych26/ I am here to make the most of my time on Earth. I don’t want to look back with regrets about things I didn’t try. I try to embrace the now, live it fully, and when it’s time for something new, I welcome it with open arms. Soy Jeremy, de Costa Rica 🇨🇷 Crecí en Orotina, un pueblito cerca de la costa pacifico pero vivo en Alajuela, justo detrás del Aeropuerto jaja. Soy una persona curiosa y tranquila. Me gusta aprender de los demás y sentirme parte de los lugares que visito. En mi día a día trabajo en lo que me gusta, soy Ingeniero de Calidad, corro para despejar la mente y tengo una pequeña selva de plantas en casa. Me inspiran las personas auténticas y las charlas que se sienten reales. En Couchsurfing busco justo eso: conocer gente local, compartir historias y crear recuerdos que no caben en fotos. Aunque también me encanta la fotografía!
Originally from the US, I have spent the last 30 years in Costa Rica working in the nonprofit and technology sectors. As a founder of a startup and an educator, I have been deeply involved in nurturing the tech community here. My life in Costa Rica has been a blend of business challenges and rich cultural exchanges. I love exploring new ideas and collaborating on projects that have a positive impact.

CURRENT MISSION Travel the world, meet new friends from all over, their culture, their food. Traveling is growing! ABOUT ME I am a costarrican who loves nature, hiking, the beach, movie theaters and meeting new cultures and making new friends. I just love traveling. PHILOSOPHY Smile, life's too short not to. I am a very positive and happy person, I think we just need to work really hard to achieve our goals and they will become true.
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.
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.
Me gusta la fluidez, disfruto la autenticidad, amo la naturaleza y me apasiona el arte. Estoy volviendo a Couchsurfing después de muchos años de no viajar en modo mochilero. Siempre me cautivó la dinámica de esta plataforma y estoy emocionado de volver a conectar con viajeros de todo el mundo. Espero crear conexiones y vínculos reales, compartir consejos y crear recuerdos mágicos y memorables con las personas que conozca a través de esta maravillosa plataforma. ——————————————————————————— I like flow, I enjoy authenticity, I love nature, and I’m passionate about art. I’m coming back to Couchsurfing after many years away from backpacker-mode travel. I’ve always been drawn to the spirit of this platform, and I’m excited to reconnect with travelers from all over the world. I hope to build real connections and bonds, exchange tips, and create magical, memorable moments with the people I meet through this beautiful platform.
ABOUT ME I'm interested and curious about everything (as vague as it sounds but it's true). I love traveling as everyone else on this site, and nothing beats the feeling when you remember a place you loved and the people that made it great. PHILOSOPHY "It always seems impossible until its done." "Creativity is contagious, pass it on." "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken" INTERESTS I enjoy spending time and talking to people that are funny and easy going, and that inspires you in some way. I like partying as much as staying home watching a movie, it all depends on the mood, although most of the time the mood is to go out! I love photography and it works for me as a creative outlet. A concept related to photography that I like a lot is the light. It's funny how it changes the perception you have on anything and can change the mood on you -random I know, but I like it.

Hi I'm Caro :) 2026: I do not host anymore !! I love hosting people or meeting up for coffee or a beer, sharing life stories and get to know the people that I'm hosting, if you want to hang out don't think twice just write me! This is the second time that I have to edit my profile as the person that I am, likes and interest have evolve along the years of joining the community and I've been lucky enough to share the journey with amazing friends and people that I've meet through Couchsurfing :D *** I don't like copy/paste messages if you want me to host you make sure you have a real reason to want to stay or hang out with me besides of just a free place to crash for the night, that being said I prefer to host poeple who are planning to stay more than 1 night but there can always be exceptions, the most important part is send me a geuine request*** PD:I have 2 crazy cats, so if you would like me to be your host, you must love animals, and you can't be allergic to cats ( yes there are cats hairs EVERYWHERE! what do you expect? haha Read more in "My Home" tab
I'd describe myself as an individual who is highly interested in nature and about becoming more educated when it comes to environment and economics... I’m an industrial engineer and aspiring data scientist & Machine Learning engineer in the making. Constantly trying to push the envelope and get out of my comfort zone. I’m into nature a lot and have a strong passion for trees and orchids 🌲 🌳 🌸 I’ve got my own tiny reforestation projects here in Costa Rica in order to save endangered hardwood native trees. Also gotta confess that one of my biggest passions is craft beer. I love tasting new flavours and trying new forms of IPAs. 🍺 Coffee blends, books & bicycles are a big part of my life too... ☕️ 🚲 📖
