I’ve been part of the Couchsurfing community for over 8 years (this is a new profile because I lost access to my old one — some of my past references are in the photo section).

I love sharing my country with travelers — sometimes that means visiting the iconic places you’re probably already planning to see, and other times it’s about exploring amazing hidden spots that you’d probably only find with a local who’s been wandering those roads for years.

When I’m in San José, I often offer free transportation in the Central Valley (San José, Alajuela, Heredia, Cartago) as a small contribution to fellow travelers passing through.

Always happy to share local tips, cool spots, and enjoy a good coffee or conversation. I’m also working on a little passion project that connects travelers with some truly unforgettable sides of Costa Rica — happy to share more if you’re curious!

⸻

He sido parte de la comunidad de Couchsurfing por más de 8 años (esta es una cuenta nueva porque perdí acceso a la anterior — en las fotos puse algunas referencias que tenía).

Me encanta compartir mi país con viajeros. A veces eso significa visitar esos lugares icónicos que probablemente ya tienes en mente, y otras veces se trata de descubrir rincones increíbles que normalmente solo se encuentran viajando en auto y con alguien local que ya ha recorrido esos caminos.

Cuando estoy en San José, suelo ofrecer transporte gratuito por la zona del Valle Central (San José, Alajuela, Cartago y Heredia) como forma de aportar a esta comunidad.

Siempre estoy feliz de compartir consejos locales, lugares interesantes y disfrutar de un buen café o una buena conversación. También tengo un pequeño proyecto personal con el que conecto a viajeros con lados realmente inolvidables de Costa Rica — si te da curiosidad, con gusto te cuento más.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe in real human connection. Couchsurfing has allowed me to meet amazing people, learn from their stories, and also share what I love about Costa Rica — in a more meaningful way, beyond traditional tourism.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy from indie and rock music to reggaeton, road trips have taught me that there’s a style for every part of the journey — it really depends on the mood and who’s the DJ in the passenger seat.
I also love listening to current trending music, because I know that someday, hearing it again will take me right back to this exact moment.
Basically, anything that feels like the soundtrack to an adventure hits the spot.
I like movies that shift my perspective and make me think, and books that inspire movement, reflection, or discovery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Turned my love for exploring Costa Rica into a life path — sharing it with others has led to some unforgettable moments.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning from other cultures, sharing what I know about my country, and teaching through lived experiences. I believe everyone has something valuable to offer if we’re open to listening.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation, cultural exchange, and help moving around the Central Valley area — I know some cool places most travelers don’t get to see.
