CURRENT MISSION
Travel the world and make new friends as I go.
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together"

ABOUT ME
My name is Alberto I am laidback, fun, open minded, cultured and love to travel. I love to meet new people and learn new cultures. I'm an easygoing guy, living in San Jose, Costa Rica. I am finishing my last year of medical school, and I feel that I need time before I start my internship.

PHILOSOPHY
Do cross oceans for people. Love people, all people. No conditions attached, no wondering whether or not they're worth. Cross oceans, climb mountains. Life and love isn't about what you gain, it's about what you give.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess because you can have the chance to meet people from all over the world probably with the same vision and by talking to them, you get to understand a new culture or go deep into things that you already know, it's kind of an open mind experience also. On the light side of the spectrum I guess you can have an awesome time surfing the city or showing people the hood doing fun stuff.

Interests

My world is full of music, movies, books, comics, things related to medicine and photography. I love to read, but at the same time meet interesting people. I won't ever say no if you want to hang out :)
