About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Peace ambassador and searcher of the truth

ABOUT ME

My philosophy is that this life is too short and I want to enjoy every second of it.
I will not loose my peace for any problem or any person... my personal peace is too valuable to loose it for a stupid discussion.

PHILOSOPHY

Tolerance - Respect - Love
Everything good I receive is not for me to keep, but to share with everybody with interests.
Everything bad I receive is to learn from it and to forget.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This far all the couchsurfing experiences have been wonderful.
I opened my house to them and they gave me stories, laughs and incredible memories.

Interests

I love meeting new people and to learn from them, to stay in contact with old friends and be there for them. Nature is my passion and to explore it my pleasure.

  • dining
  • traveling
  • biology
  • religion
  • volunteering

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost everything and respect what other people like.
I specially enjoy a good drama or a movie with a message. For a leisure time I like watching science fiction movies or those with lots of special effects.
My music preference is kind of wide too. I listen from Chopin to Metallica and love them all... mainly depends on my mood at the moment.
I read everything that get in my hands and are open for all kind of suggestions on books. If you know of any good book, please let me know.
In our house, Sarah Joy and I don't have TV and we use that time to read together or talk. It's been working so far and I highly recommend it to everybody.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling all over my dear Costa Rica, as a biology student and as a researcher.
Workd with volunteer organizations that showed me how much change in the world a little effort from me can make, and also the opportunity to meet wonderful people from different countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

At a genetic level we all are the same... there is no flags, no colors, no religions, no hard feelings and no borders.
People is all the same everywhere in the world and we all look for the very same things: peace, love, food, fun and new experiences.
