I first joined Couchsurfing in 2010 while living in Costa Rica, and it’s been an incredible part of my journey ever since. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to host travelers, plan events, show people around my city, and connect with amazing folks from all over the world. I travel frequently for work and for fun, and I always try to explore places through the lens of a local—whether that means learning the language, diving into the culture, or finding the best street food around.

I’m passionate about languages, aviation (currently working on my pilot’s license), and staying active—running is my favorite way to see a new city. I believe travel is about people as much as places, and Couchsurfing has helped me build meaningful connections that go far beyond a shared couch.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet new people and experience places through authentic, local connections. Couchsurfing lets me go beyond tourist paths and really engage with different cultures. Whether hosting, meetups, or traveling, I enjoy meaningful conversations, shared meals, and seeing the world through someone else’s perspective.

Interests

I'm into languages, music, dancing, and discovering culture through food. Running keeps me grounded when I travel, and I’m always up for a good conversation about sports, business, or the best street eats in town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the Camino de Santiago from León, Spain was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life. The journey tested my body and reset my mind—every step offered time for reflection, connection, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of slow travel and the kindness of strangers.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can share what I’ve learned from building businesses, navigating global startup ecosystems, and creating systems for growth. I also love helping people improve their English or offering tips on running, productivity, and travel hacks.

Learn: I’m always eager to learn new languages, cultural traditions, and perspectives. I’m currently working on my French and getting my pilot’s license, so any tips on either are welcome!

Share: I’m happy to share travel stories, meals, playlists, and my favorite hidden gems in cities I’ve explored. I believe in creating space for good conversation, laughter, and meaningful connection—whether over tea or while discovering a new corner of the world together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a respectful guest who enjoys sharing good conversation, travel stories, and meals. I’m happy to help out around the house, go for a run, explore the city together, or simply connect over a shared love of culture and adventure.
