I believe that human beings can’t be defined in just a few words. But I’ll try to give you an idea of who I am.

I’m from a small country in Central America called Costa Rica. In September 2018, I was awarded by the UK government with a scholarship to study a master’s degree in criminal law. So since September I’ve been living the greatest year of my life, in a fantastic city and surrounded by incredible people from all around the world.

I’m a lawyer, but my biggest passion in this world is music. So I try to attend as many concerts, festivals, and any other activities that involve music as I can. I play drums so if you wanna jam, just let me know!

A few years ago, I started learning photography, so walking around with my camera is another thing that I enjoy a lot.

What else? Oh, yes. I want to travel around the world and meeting new people — life’s too short and the world’s too big to stay in one place.

I live in student accommodation -and I'll become a nomad in the coming days- so I cannot host surfers. Otherwise, I’d love to do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to discover cities from a local perspective and meeting interesting people while doing it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, once I played drums with the Killers in Belfast.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d love to learn Italian, French and German; and also to try and learn some delicious regional recipes.

I can teach the basics of drumming, photography and Spanish also I can share a good conversation while having a coffee or a beer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation, new stories and maybe a few Costa Rican chocolates.
