Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people on their journey and to also learn more about myself in that process. To help pave the wave through Nicaragua and to be part of their adventure and to spend the time I have with like-minded individuals who are respectful, kind and are good mannered and have attention to personal hygiene. Also to do some more AcroYoga with travels and work on some mindfulness. If you are you reading the profile and are looking to request a stay, you have to reply with the password "ACRO" in your message so I know you read the profile and have a sense of humor.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My work schedule is usually a 430AM Wake-Up and then Yoga Class at 7AM, Monday to Friday. I have other classes throughout the week. If you are a Yoga Teacher you can teach a class if you would like. You can also come and take my classes in the morning. Also, when I have free time, I can spend time with my guests. Weekends are best because we can go to the beach, do Yoga, Acro Yoga, learn about the local Culture at the market (Huembes or Oriental), we can also visit Volcan Masaya & Laguna de Apoyo. Also there is a great pupusa place by my house in walking distance which you have to try.
