Hi guys. My name is Mariana, friends call me Luna. I was born and raised in Costa Rica. I am co-founder and teacher at a local international school here in Tamarindo. I have a four-year-old daughter, Mila. I am also a freelance graphic designer. In my free time, I love hiking, photography, sketching, and traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love sharing initiatives! The world should be less ME and more WE. I also think it's an amazing way to learn about the world and share amazing experiences with people.

*This April will be my first time in Europe and I wanted to give couch surfing a try and meet some amazing people. When I come back, I would also want to host.
