CURRENT MISSION

My friends will probably describe me as a person interested in cultures, religions, music, art and food from all partes of the world. I believe in cultural exchange and global citizenships. I like to share my language and culture with others. I like hosting and cooking for friends. I prefer to host solo travelers.

ABOUT ME

I would say I am a relaxed, open minded, happy person living in San Jose, Costa Rica, close to family, but with an apartment in the middle of a nice city to explore. I like to visit theaters and bars, museums, join concerts and feel culturally active. I have hosted friends from other countries in my apartment and I like to share a cup of coffee or a glass of wine with a nice conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a strong believer in respect to all human beings, trust, and friendship. I like to see how communication can open new doors and get people closer to reach common goals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share
