ABOUT ME

I consider to myself as a big dreamer but also someone decided to make of his dreams a reality with a lot of effort and passion. I'm easy going person, who enjoy a good conversation and the simples things that life bring us like go out for walk, seat on a park to talk, enjoy learning about people and culture. I’m from Costa Rica, addict to the beach and nature but also I fall in love with the big cities.

One day I waked up and discovered that I was not happy at all. So that I decided make some changes in my life to enjoy every day as has to be. So I quit to my job and decided start traveling the world for a while. To learning about every person, every culture that I meet.

I learned that for me travel is not only go to another city or country and see what everyone see (buildings, monuments, parks) I love go to a new city and see how the people live, how is the day a day of people and learn as much as I can about his culture. I believe that is a way to put an end to prejudices, ignorance and make friends over the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"Pura Vida" (Pure Life)
Is a phase that we use in Costa Rica than mean everything is ok, everything is fine. And is a word that reflects a simple and peaceful way of live the life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because I want share experiences with the local people, learning about them and their culture. Because for me travel is not only go and see buildings, monuments, museums. For me travel is to share experiences, learn about the people, about their culture, with the idea of remember a country or a city based on amazing moments with amazing people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travel alone from Costa Rica to Morocco to make true a dream, visit the Sahara desert. That was a crazy idea for my family now they know that I love travel no matter if I have to travel alone or with someone else.

Ride a bicycle along of one airport in Bahia Drake Costa Rica, in one side there is the jungle and in the end the ocean.
