Hello! My name is Hans, I'm half german, half Argentinian, but I was born and raised in Costa Rica. Currently studying environmental health at the University of Costa Rica. If you are planning to visit Costa Rica and you need information or help feel free to ask me.
I'm an easy going, motivated and enthusiatic guy, that loves art, culture and soccer. I find Couchsurfing as an opportunity to meet knew people and have an authentic cultural exchange in the process. I would love to share my culture with you!!
I will respect you, your house and your customs and traditions!
(Sadly I can't host anyone right now, hopefully i will in the near future)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that thing about a country is its people, and for me Couchsurfing is a perfect opportunity to meet people around the world. Hope I can help other travellers in Costa Rica (I can't host anyone right now).
