Musician, Biologist, Programmer

I live in Monteverde since June, 2021. I work for an University based in NY remotely, doing research and writing code to investigate how to use technology for optimizing sustainability and ecological restoration efforts.

I also write music and perform sometimes on restaurants here in Monteverde. I love the adrenaline of traveling, and I believe that doing things with a good intention is a great compass to find enormous beauty in this universe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love knowing the stories of people coming from different realities, to learn from there and exchange pieces of life through dining or drinking coffee together. I love meeting travelers' stories, and to make new friends that have different cultures. I also love to exchange pieces of art, and going on hikes and adventures in the forest.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music

Latinamerican jazzy sounds such as all the music by the chilean band "Aca Seca Trio", but also the simple incredible Cumbia and Salsa beats. I also love many Costa Rican bands like Sonámbulo and Infibeat. More worth mentioning: jazz (Kamasi Washington, Nubya Garcia), whatever Hiatus Kaiyote is, Aphex Twin, Megadeth, Britney Spears, Dance Hall, some reggaeton, etc.!

Movies
Amélie (2001), Interstellar (2014), Pinocchio (2022), Coraline (2009)
