About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet and know all types of people, places, events, history... everything.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and sharing our experiences together especially over drinks, visiting attractions, or any fun chill places. I am an art lover and am currently studying for a masters in art administration at NYU. I am an artist as well and I am also a lover of music, dance and performance. I come from a loving, warm Latino family (Costa Rican pride!) so when it comes to hosting and visiting couch surfers, I’m all about it!

PHILOSOPHY

Watch, learn and share ♥️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had a couchsurfer stay with my family and I for 2 weeks. Which was great when I had the opportunity to meet his family over in Ireland a month later!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met some of the most interesting people through couchsurfing. Most of my experience has been in Ireland and in the United States. I am still friends with everyone I met and some of them have even become close friends of mine. CS is an amazing resource that really connects a lot of like-minded people. Unfortunately I haven't been able to be active on CS these past couple of years but now that I have graduated and have time, I am excited to get back on and meet new people.

Interests

I am deeply interested in the social sciences, politics, the treatment of our environment; ranging from global warming to the use of our personal electricity usage. I am an advocator for women's rights, gay rights, and a strong believer that we all deserve an equal chance at building ourselves, each other and our communities into strongholds to all share happy productive lives :)
